10. Render the text in English:
Что такое человек и человеческая натура? Натура человеческая может проявляться весьма многообразно. Постичь ее сущность – это, с точки зрения философии, выявить главную черту, свойственную человеку.
Подходы к изучению человека различны. В одних случаях он рассматривается как бы «извне», через сопоставление с его с природой (космосом), обществом, Богом, другим человеком. Другой подход «изнутри» - предполагает изучение человека с точки зрения его биологического строения, психики, нравственной, духовной, общественной жизни. В древнейших философских системах Китая, Индии, Греции человек мыслился как часть космоса, всеобъемлющего мира. И сам человек воспринимался как своеобразный «микрокосмос».
Эпоха Возрождения дала науке представление о безграничности творческих возможностей человека. В сочетании со свободой выбора предназначение человека дает ему творческую способность самоопределения. Человек-творец уподобляется Богу. В 17 веке Декарт высказал идею о том, что единственным достоверным свидетельством человеческого существования является мышление.
Для представителя классической немецкой философии 18 века И.Канта вопрос «Что такое человек?» формулируется как основной вопрос философии, а человек предстает как существо, принадлежащее двум различным мирам – природной необходимости и нравственной свободе. В немецкой философии 18-19 веков ведущим являлось представление о человеке как творце духовной жизни, культуры, носителе всеобщего идеального начала – духа или разума.
Pair-work and points for discussion:
In the preface to his “Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View”, Kant praises
Konigsberg as possessed of a university, well situated for trade by sea, connected by rivers to surrounding regions and favoured in its commerce with countries of different tongues and customs. Such a town, he tells us, is well situated for the acquisition of knowledge both of man and of the world, even without the benefit of travel. Do you agree with him? Speak on the perspectives of contemporary Kaliningrad.
Morality entails freedom. Conversely, freedom also entails morality. But Kant
does not mean by this that every spontaneous action is a moral action. There are both non-moral and immoral actions for which the agent is accountable. Are you accountable of your every day actions? What actions are you proud or ashamed of?
12. Test your logic:
Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson and Inspector Lestrade had all decided to take a break away from fighting crime. They all traveled to Ascot and spent a day at the races. It turned out to be a successful day for all three. Holmes finished the day winning four times as much as Watson, who in turn won twice as much as Bestride. The combined total of their winning was $ 66.
HOW MUCH DID THEY WIN INDIVIDUALLY?
