Апология человеческого разума Николя де Кондорсе: образованное общество как основание нового политического порядка
Философия. Журнал Высшей школы экономики. 2023. Т. 7. № 3. С. 50–78.
The article analyzes revolutionary educational ideas of French thinker of XVIII century Nicolas de Condorcet as a fundamental basis of political and social transformations of modern France and at the same time as an exceptional example of popular sovereignty formation through the construction of a unique scientific and educational paradigm aimed at educating and raising citizens capable of autonomous judgment and socially responsible action. At the heart of the doctrine, he proposed— not speculative knowledge, but concepts concretized in the system of new educational institutions, the embodiment of which contributed through this system to the transformation of the French mentality and understanding of the role of philosophical knowledge as a socially significant tool capable of providing this society a sustainable basis for progress. And the fact that Condorcet’s ideas were embodied not only in his native France but also far beyond its borders 100–150 years later is evidence of their fruitfulness and the importance of returning to their origins during another civilizational crisis, which both Russia and the conventional “collective West” are experiencing today. This crisis manifests itself first and foremost in worldview dilemmas and counter-verses, in the clash of cognitive paradigms, which requires an awareness of the need for new educational models to educate a new type of person as a responsible citizen. For Condorcet, civil society and freedom are inconceivable without the enlightenment of citizens and the natural inequalities that arise from differences in abilities, talents, and personal merit

AI literally comes to us from the future, not because it exists in some distant temporal reality, but because we, by attempting to construct an expected future through the experiences and affections evoked in us by the idea of AI, are unwittingly creating the conditions for the future's sudden arrival.

The digital today constitutes an environment of affects: it touches, enchants, captivates, incites, and frightens. What it does not do, however, is provide knowledge; rather, it takes knowledge away. Previously, the subject of cognition was the human being, though cognition itself was largely grounded in institutions, social contacts, performative rituals, and the activity of human-scale ...

Traditionally, a justification for believing something is a priori if and only if it is independent of experience. Throughout Western philosophy ever since Plato, some of the most divisive questions have been whether a priori justification exists, how it is possible, and how far it reaches. This book is structured around these three main questions. ...
