Проблема соотношения веры и знания в философии Ф.М. Достоевского

The main subject of the paper is the well-known and truly everlasting issue – the phenomenon of the deep relationship between faith and knowledge. Using four basic and interrelated methodological approaches – metaphysical, dialectical, hermeneutic and phenomenological – this paper highlights the following: modern science and philosophy, having realized the high significance and relevance of the issue of the relationship between faith and knowledge, has not yet been able to provide a conceptual-holistic solution in this regard. Otherwise, the performed historical and philosophical paper, the main conclusions of which are presented in this cycle of articles, showed that such a decision more than a hundred years ago was ingeniously given by F.M. Dostoyevsky. This paper shows the process and result of the development and justification of F.M. Dostoyevsky's new philosophical concept of the relationship between faith and knowledge, based on: attribution-holistic their unity; possibilities of deep mutual transitions (transformations) of faith and knowledge into each other; relative cognitive transparency of these processes through special human efforts aimed at finding metaphysical (absolute) truths and meanings of human being (F.M. Dostoyevsky himself often carried out such a search through his famous “metaphysical experiments”). The author draws attention to the fact that the philosophical concept of the relationship of faith and knowledge proposed by F.M. Dostoyevsky can be considered as a valuable research resource in the context of modern searches for a solution to this always relevant and fundamentally complex issue. The author shows a holistic historical and philosophical analysis of the metaphysical views of F.M. Dostoyevsky on the attribution unity of faith and knowledge in the context of modern conceptual ideas about this phenomenon. At this point, the author highlights two aspects: a cross-temporal and comparativistic way of exploring perceptions of faith, represented in the writer's paper, against the background of basic modern views on the phenomenon of faith. This makes it possible to show all their topicality, significance and depth in the most complete and large-scale way. The next stage of the work is a direct analysis of the presentation of the philosophical views of F.M. Dostoyevsky concerning the unity of faith and knowledge.

『英和対訳袖珍辞書』・『百学連環』・『哲学字彙』に於ける訳語一致度の考察

The writer made a comparative investigation as to the agreement between the translated words of '英和対訳袖珍辞書' and '哲学字彙'.By a careful examination of these two dictionaries, the writer found that at most 15% of the translated words in '哲学字彙'are exactly the same as or similar to those in '英和対訳袖珍辞書'Furthermore, the writer made an investigation concerning agreement among the above translated words and those translated words in '百学連環', a book by Amane Nishi (西周).The writer wants to make clear how and to what degree the translated words in '英和対訳袖珍辞書'were adopted as technical terms in the Meiji Era, and at the same time whether any trace of Amane Nishi could be seen in '英和対訳袖珍辞書', for Nishi was one of the assistants who worked on the first edition of the dictionary published in 1862, and is famous for his having originally formed a great many translated words and terms. On examination, Amane Nishi proved to have formed many technical terms after his period of study abroad, from 1862 to 1865.By comparative study, the writer found that many of Nishi's translated words were made by amending those translated words found in '英和対訳袖珍辞書'.The influence of '英和対訳袖珍辞書'on the final development of Modern Japanese should be studied in greater detail.This paper is based on the writer's paper read at the regular monthly meeting in July, 1994.

Marsilio Ficino as a Man of Letters and the Glosses Attributed to Him in the Caetani Codex of Dante*

The Archivio Caetani, now owned by the Fondazione Camillo Caetani, is one of the most important and interesting family archives that have been preserved in Rome. In addition to numerous old documents, it also contains many letters and papers of writers and scholars of the sixteenth century, and a certain number of valuable literary manuscripts. The most famous among them is the Caetani Codex of Dante's Divine Comedy, which has been well known to Dante scholars since the last century and which was made available, along with the numerous Latin glosses accompanying the text, through a beautiful and accurate edition published by Don Gelasio Caetani in 1930. The manuscript is written on parchment in a beautiful calligraphic hand of the late fourteenth or very early fifteenth century and contains in its margin numerous Latin glosses.

Greek Chariot-Borne and Mounted Infantry

This article attempts to answer criticism of the writer's paper on "Homeric, British and Cyrenaic Chariots," published in AJA 69 (1965) 349-52. It presents at greater length the literary evidence for historic parallels to "Homeric" chariotry—that is, for the use of chariots as transports for heavily armed soldiers who normally fought on foot. The theory that Homer's chariots are a heroic convention, superimposed upon stories that really assume the existence of cavalry or of mounted infantry, is examined and opposed, with special reference to the problems raised by the fortification of the Achaean camp and the episode of the horses of Rhesus. It is argued that the Homeric evidence (including the rare mentions of riding in the epic) is consistent with the actual conditions of Greek warfare during the Geometric period, but (chiefly on the evidence of archaic vase-painting) the view that chariot-borne heroes were replaced during the seventh century B.C. by mounted hoplites is supported. The article discusses the recent literature of the various problems raised, and also examines older discussions to which the writer was unable to do justice in his earlier paper.

Loss of teeth in dreams symbolizing fear of aging.

In 1956 the writer presented fear of growing old as symbolized in loss of teeth in dreams. The patients felt time was passing without overt evidence of accomplishment of which they believed themselves capable and acmal accomplishment that failed in their opinion to match potential. Much of their anxiety during the dreams often continued on awaking. In 1961 Ward, Beck, and Rascoe covered the literature on typical dreams. One of 17 categories involved something happening to your teeth. Of many meanings ascribed to it, only this writer's paper was listed for fear of growing old. He has encountered this interpretation since then and the most recent example is now given to re-enforce the finding and call it to the attention of others. A 30-yr.-old man dreamed two of his teeth fell out. He caught them in his hand, looked at them, and gave thought to replacing them. He awoke feeling as if he was still about to reinsert them. He felt anxious during the dream and more so afterwards. One tooth was a molar and the other a partial The patient felt he was dissipating his youth in meaningless work activity and tried to counter its loss through considerable athletic involvements. But he saw the young more suited to this and the middle-aged looking pathetic trying to deny or ward off declining years. He had mixed feelings about using his considerable intelligence as fully as possible and, in fact, avoided doing so. He was bored with his sexual partner, felt time was going by, and was always concerned about insufficient or unfulfilled sexual outlets, especially with very young women. He was concerned about declining sexual interest. Precipitating factors for his dream were pain requiring his sexual partner to seek dental help and a sexual experience with someone else which he regarded as degrading. His personal, sexual, and occupational discontent gave him the feeling of aging rapidly. Loss of the molar may have represented loss of strength and stabiliry. The partial shell referred to his half-filled tooth which he considered to be essentially a shell. It reflected, he said, his feeling about himself. More than one meaning may be attributed to a dream. In addition to its representation of his fear of growing old, he believed it indicated castration anxiety and reflected personaliry disintegration. All three themes are consistent with his concerns at the time of the dream. It is well known that body parts and functioning have psychological significance beyond their anatomical importance and physiological relevance in health and disease. The meanings of teeth and their injury or loss have long attracted attention, but fear of aging as symbolized in their loss in dreams is re-enforced here because of absence of references to this theme in psychological literature.

A Mathematical Theory of the Growth of Populations of the Flour Beetle Tribolium Confusum Duv. V. The Relation Between the Limiting Value of Egg‐Populations in the Absence of Hatching and the Sex‐Ratio of the Group of Adult Beetles Used in a Culture

The writer recently (Stanley, '41) developed a modified form of his original theory (Stanley, '32) of the growth of populations of the flour beetle Tribolium confusum Duv., this modified theory being based on the time spent by the adult beetles, per unit time, in contact with eggs and flour (leading to the consumption of these materials as food, by the adults) rather than on a basis of the number of contacts between adults and eggs per unit time. This modified theory was shown to give better agreement between theory and experiment in the case of the crowded egg-populations resulting when eggs are prevented from hatching by being replaced every four days by an equivalent number of new laid eggs. In the writer's paper of 1941 a study was made of the relation between t the limiting value of the egg-population in the absence of hatching, and the volume (or weight) of flour used in the culture. It is now proposed to describe the relation between t and the sex-ratio, R, of the group of adult beetles used in a culture (R may be defined as the ratio of the number of females present to the total number of adults present).

Stone Implements and the Yami Tribe of Botel Tobago (Kõsõho)

In addition to the writer's paper on the stone implements of Botel Tobago published ten years ago, Mr. E. R. LEACH has described these implements in a recent issue of Man. In this paper, the writer describes certain materials added to his collection since the date of his last paper, particilar, their uses and their relations to those found in adjacent regions.The author, after all has only a few examples of stone implemenst from Botel Tobago, all of which were either obtained from the Yami men who had them as heirlooms from their forefathers, or were found buried under ground when they were working in the fields. The Yami is one of the few tribes in southeastern Asia who have a legend that their forefathers have used stone implements in ancient times.Fig. 1, a stone implement which they call Chichivchiv and which has a characteristic waist form of outline, is made by knocking a piece off a waterworn boulder, so numerous on the sea-shore, one of its facs being chipped until it is flat, but rough, while its other face is left unworked, being smooth and convex. According to the Yami, this tool was not hafted to a wooden handle, but was held in the hand by itself for striking at and removing the roots of grasses and shrubs, and also when loosening the earth of a field. At present the Yami use only a digging-stick in working in the field, the hoe complete with head and wooden handle being quite unknown to them. The Chichivchiv presents an interesting problem regarding the use of certain types of chipped stone implements, to which hitherto had generally been believed were used for hoeheads.Figs. 3, 4 show a Roofed axe (Dachformige Beil), which the Yami men call Uma-no-inapo (chisel used by the ancester). Now the Yami men use an iron chisel that resembles in shape this stone implement.Fig. 5 (left) shows the stone implement which the villagers of Irararai call Chichivchiv. It is a asymmetrical adze which J. G. Andersson named, a Fourcornered axe (Vierkantbeil), ground on one side only. It is said that it was hafted to a wooden handle in such a way that the blade shall be parallel to the handle, and used for removing the roots of grasses and shrubs. The principal wood-working tool of the Yami is an axe, or Wasai, no adze in any form being found. From the presence in Botel Tobago of plank-built boats that seem to have been in use from years back, and from the fact that the term Wasai means axe as well as iron both in the Philippines and in Indonesia, the author is inclined to believe that the axe iron head seems to have been in use from remote times.The stone implements from Botel Tobago are made of six kinds of rock, namely andesite, basalt, porphyry, sandstone, quartzite, and nephrite. Although the first mentionedrock is in found Botel Tobago, the remaining two rocks are not, which fact seems to show that some of the stone implements were introduced to the island by immigrant tribes.So far as our present knowledge goes, the stone implements of the northern coasts of Botel Tobago appear to differ somewhat from those of the southern coasts. Those found in the latter, namely, the Roofed axe (Dachformige Beil) Figs. 3, 4 and the Cylindrical axe (Walzenbeil) (Fig. 2) are closely allied to those of the Philippines, . while those of the northern coast, the Fourcornered axe (Vierkantbeil) made of silicified sandstone of bluish-grey colour (Fig. 5, left), and earrings of nephrite (Fig. 6.-2, 3) have been excavated from the Yuwao site of Samasana island, pointing to some sort of intercourse between Samasana island and the northern coast of Botel Tobago. This is also suggested by a legend of the Irararai village to the effct that the Shirarorarogan, a tribal group of that village, who had unique customs differing from those of other groups of that village is, said to have been engaged in considerable traffic on the seas between Botel Tobago and Samasana island, eleven generations ago.

Contraterrene Meteorites

ABSTRACTThis note is in reply to the unfounded objections of H. H. Nininger (C.S.R.M., P.A., 49, 215–16, April, 1941) to the writer's paper on contraterrene meteorites (ibid., 99–102, February, 1941; C.S.R.M., 2, No. 4, 244–7, 1941).

A Reëxamination of the Lachish Letters

Lachish Letters are; the subject has been discussed again and again our pages since the initial discovery January and February, 1935-just four years ago.1 It is now a year since the official publication, Torczyner's The Lachish Letters, was distributed and there is already a very respectable list of important reviews and articles based on it.2 Most of these contributions of the past year are like the writer's paper the BULLETIN for last April, which is based only on the official volume and on preceding treatments of the first four ostraca. The surveys by Hempel, Dussaud, and Reider are based upon more extensive material and must be studied by all. Most important of these contributions, however, is Ginsberg's brief supplementary paper, on which the writer will draw heavily the present sketch. Reider has also made a convincing original observation which solves one of the most elusive passages. There is complete unanimity with regard to the historical situation of the Lachish ostraca, which must be just prior to the final siege at the end of Zedekiah's reign. The campaign of 1937-38, begun by the late J. L. Starkey and completed by Lankester Harding, yielded a fully adequate picture of the archaeological situation during the last two preexilic phases of occupation, which came to an end respectively 598/7 and 589/8 B. C.3 It should be observed this connection that the difference of a year the date given by the writer for the letters, 589 B. C.,4 and the one a year later given by other recent students, depends on the view held with reference to late Judaean chronology; the writer agrees with the system of Kugler, Begrich, and Mowinckel, which places the destruction of the First Temple the year 587, not 586.5 The exact year of the fall of Lachish is probably given by an ostracon found the last campaign,6 which begins with the date in the ninth [year], i.e., the year 589/8, since the first year of Zedekiah was 597/6. Since the writer's paper nearly a year ago further progress has been made Letters II, III, VI, and IX, which will be treated, briefly or detail, below. Letter IV seems to be clear throughout after Gordon's observations, which were utilized the paper just mentioned. In Letter V the writer's correction mh l'bdk yytb 'w yr' Imlk has been generally accepted, though sometimes with slight deviations. The observation of Gordon, tentatively

The Quantitative Study of Erosion Technique and Some Preliminary Results

HE beginning of the national program of research pertaining to soil and water conservation inaugurated in 1928 by the United States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with individual states, had as its incentive a large store of accumulated information showing that soil depreciation and even complete devastation of the by erosion were proceeding at a menacing rate in many parts of the country. For illustration of this most serious cultural problem confronting the users of land one may turn to the writer's paper on Geographical Relation of Soil Erosion to Land Productivity in the October, 1928, number of the Geographical Review.' Some account will here be given of the investigations already conducted by the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils. Thus far the Bureau has established ten major soil-erosion and moisture-conservation experiment stations. In addition, the University of Missouri has a station near Columbia, Mo., and similar work is being done at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at Spur. These stations and the chief erosion regions are shown in Figure I. The approximate areas of the erosion regions are given in Table I, together with estimates of the areas of formerly cropped devastated to the extent of more than 34 million acres, and severely impoverished to the extent of not less than 125 million acres.

Note on a theory of the permanent magnetic fields of the Sun and Earth

Dr. J. Bartels has recently pointed out in a letter to the Editor of this JOURNAL that in the writer's paper on “A theory of the permanent magnetic fields of the Sun and Earth”1 the step from equation (4) to equation (5) in neglecting the first term of the bracket in (4) is not clearly indicated. In the derivation it was foreseen that the terms which would contribute to the drift‐currents would be terms containing higher powers of sin θ than the first, since the effects must be averaged over all values of θ from 0 to 2π. The term which Dr. Bartels points out should be retained was multiplied into sin θ which when averaged with respect to θ, reduced to zero. Thus the final form of the expression is as given in (5).
