B. V. Podoroga Essay on Bernard Stiegler’s history of mnemotechnics DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-42-47 The purpose of this article is to present history of memory techniques as it described by French philosopher Bernard Stiegler. It is shown that Stiegler speaks fr om the point of view of humanistic marxism arguing that the positive development of mnemotechnics is determined by their integration into symbolic relations, outside of which they becomes a means of consumer capitalism. History of mnemotechnics is divided on two large periods — preindustrial and industrial, where the former is determined by the dominance of religion, politics and culture, and the latter — by the law of surplus value. It is analyzed Stiegler’s understanding of mnemotechnics as «epiphylogenesis» or «third memory». The main features of mnemotechnical evolution, from the first inscriptions on stone tools to today’s global digital retentional apparatus, is reviewed. Keywords: Bernard Stiegler, mnemotechniques, «third memory», epi-philogenesis, phylogenesis, hyperindustrial age, symbolic. | 42–47 |

N. B. Afanasov Japanese Popular Culture and Digimodernism DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-48-56 The article addresses the socio-philosophical interpretations of Japanese popular culture. Pointing out the unique position of the latter, the author believes that the experience of a number of successful Japanese projects that have become global phenomena can be used by social and cultural theorists to analyze modernity. The article refers to the genesis of Japanese popular culture in the mid-90s of the XX century, when the most popular part of Japanese pop culture in the West — anime — embodied the postmodern canon. However, a closer look reveals that the optics of postmodernism, which by the end of the XX century had already ceased to be advanced research optics, may not be enough for analysis. A number of phenomena, among which the author highlights the Pokйmon media franchise, require a different research approach. As a relevant methodological optics, the article refers to the concept of «digimodernism» by the British theorist Alan Kirby. With the help of its main provisions, it is shown that Japanese popular culture was at the forefront of the cultural process, offering several interesting finds to modernity. After analyzing the socio-philosophical reasons for the success of Pokйmon, the author points out that the concept of digimodernism has some applicability for the analysis of modern cultural phenomena, аnd a number of ideas of Alan Kirby about the autistic nature of modern digital civilization could be found as reflected in the culture. Keywords: socialphilosophy, theory of culture, Japanese popular culture, anime, digimodernism, postmodernism, digitalization, Pokйmon. | 48–56 |

B. V. Faul Physicalism and moral responsibility: presentation of derivative consequence argument DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-57-60 In this paper, the author introduces the derivative consequence argument, which aims to demonstrate that moral responsibility is impossible in the world wh ere physicalism and the strong realism about the laws of nature are both true. The basic intuition of the argument is that if the laws of nature determine the events, then nobody can be responsible for those events, because nobody is responsible for the laws of nature. This intuitive idea is formalized in the categories of derivative causation and motion. This argument is compatible with determinism and indeterminism, and all types of physicalism. Keywords: free will, laws of nature, compatibilism, incompatibilism, consequence argument, metaphysics, motion, physicalism, moral responsibility. | 57–60 |

M. A. Sekatskaya Conditional analysis of free will and consequence argument DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-61-65 The conditional analysis of the meaning of the phrase «free will» is a classical compatibilist strategy, first introduced by David Hume and still widely used by compatibilists. The consequence argument is an influential argument against compatibilism. If the consequence argument is sound, then physical determinism is incompatible with alternative possibilities for any agent. In this article, I consider the relationship between the consequence argument and classical compatibilism. I demonstrate that the consequence argument uses premises that should be rejected by proponents of the counterfactual conditional analysis of free will. Keywords: free will, classical compatibilism, conditional analysis, consequence argument. | 61–65 |

D. N. Razeev On derivative consequence argument DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-66-68 The article gives critical remarks to the derivative consequence argument proposed by Bogdan Faul. The first critical remark concerns the ontological status of the laws of nature, the second remark deals with the term «physicalism». It is demonstrated that conceptual vagueness of the terms used by B. Faul in his article undermines the validity of the proposed derivative argument. Keywords: Bogdan Faul, physicalism, laws of nature, free will. | 66–68 |

T. S. Demin To what theories of laws of nature B. Faul’s argument is applicable? DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-69-71 The derivative argument of the consequences is aimed at proving the incompatibility of certain theories of the laws of nature in conjunction with physicalism and the existence of moral responsibility. In this text, it is outlined the applicability of this argument to the most famous theories of the laws of nature. The argument can only be directed to those theories that are pinched by realism regarding the laws of nature. This text demonstrates that the most promising targets for the argument are Armstrong’s theory as well as some of the nonreductive theories of the laws of nature. Keywords: laws of nature, systems approach, theories of universals, antireductionism, derivative consequence argument. | 69–71 |

B. V. Faul New version of derivative consequence argument and response to objections DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-72-74 In this paper, I respond to the objections and comments, which are raised by D. Razeev, T. Demin, and M. Sekatskaya. I provide a new formulation of the argument, which avoids all the problems mentioned by these philosophers in their papers and at the conferences. Keywords: derivative consequence argument, free will, laws of nature, moral responsibility. | 72–74 |

U. V. Dobronravova Derek Parfit and yearning for personal identity (we do not exist, but really want to) DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-75-81 The article critically represents Derek Parfit’s view on personal identity and its connection with our bodies. During the discussion with animalists who claim that persons are identical with bodies Parfit defends Lockean view and concludes that person isn’t identical with human being and easily can exist beyond it. Yet it seems obvious that person isn’t identical with body, such views lead to the controversial effects. For example, Parfit claims that abortion or euthanasia wouldn’t be a crime. This article discusses some of the most debatable basics of Parfit’s position and suggests at least three points worth of next thinking. At first, the author highlights that the so-called psychological criterion of personal identity is rather conventional. At second, the real experience of personal life doesn’t match with the famous Lockean definition, because we have no any continuity. At third, D. Parfit doesn’t explain what it means to be an animal (or human animal). If there is some biological «base» of a person (head, cerebrum, or part of a cerebrum), it still stays an animal. In the conclusion of the article the author suggests that we are not human beings, nor persons. But it doesn’t mean that we can’t become them. Keywords: personality, identity, human being, human animal, Lockeanism, animalism. | 75–81 |

Dobronravova DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-82-95 The article presents a comparative analysis the views on the problem of personality identity by Neo-Lockeanism (Shoemaker, Parfit, Lewis) and Animalism (Olson, Snowden, Carter). A certain of main objections to the psychological criterion (the problem of too many thinkers, the too many persons problem, the thinking parts problem, etc.) are critically examined. Basic animalist intuitions are refuted by the embodied person view (McMahan). Keywords: teletransporter, personal identity, human being, brain, animalism, psychological сriterion. | 82–95 |

Yu. V. Plokhikh Separate waste collection as key to effective implementation of the «garbage» reform DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2020-5-4-122-127 The article considers the current problem for our country-separate collection of waste, the main source of which is the housing stock. It is shown that the absence of marked containers near residential buildings does not allow sorting garbage «at the source», which hinders the further rational use of resources. The author offers a classification of garbage collection methods used in the regions of our country, and highlights the most accessible of them. The article indicates that due to the lack of capacity and funds, small businesses can only be involved in certain stages of waste management that do not require expensive investments. Keywords: waste management, separate waste collection, solid waste, containers, mobile collection points for raw materials. | 122–127 |
