Siberian Regionalism as a Phenomenon of Social Thought in late imperial Russia
Sibirica. 2024. Vol. 23. No. 2. P. 69–88.
Alexey V. Malinov
The article considers regionalism (oblastnichestvo) as an independent direction in the history of Russian thought and cultures. Four varieties of regionalism (oblastnichestvo) are pointed out: Russian, Ukrainian, Siberian, Western Russianism (zapadnorussizm) common for which were the principles of federalism. The philosophical and methodological basis of regionalism ideology consisted of Narodnichestvo (or Populism), the ideology and movement of the intelligentsia in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. Narodnichestvo was against serfdom and capitalist development in Russia, for the overthrow of the autocracy by means of a peasant revolution.), positivism, and Slavophilism. It is noted that the program of the regionalists was addressed to the provincial intelligentsia and was largely aimed at the formation of this intelligentsia, called to serve their region. The program of Siberian regionalism — "Siberian issues" is considered in more detail.

Механизм происходящих в мире изменений носит эволюционный, а не экологический характер. Иначе говоря, Человечество столкнулось с кризисом развития, который имеет три независимые составляющие: кризис индустриального общества (фазовый кризис), кризис научного мышления (эпистемный кризис) и кризис формата существования разума (социосистемный кризис). Доклад посвящён аспектам этого триединого кризиса и возможным путям его преодоления, не сводящимся к первичному ...

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. ...
