Осенью 2004 г. в Москве начал работу семинар «Русская философия (традиция и современность)». Его задачей было объединение специалистов разных областей знания в деле изучения богатого наследия русской религиозно-философской мысли XIX–XX вв. Помимо чисто исторических задач существенное место в работе семинара составили современные исследования по философии и таким наукам, как психология, языкознание, антропология, естествознание, развивающие темы и идеи русской философии. Предлагаемая вниманию читателя книга представляет собой собрание избранных докладов,
прочитанных на семинаре в 2004–2009 гг.

Да здравствуют антиподы! Виктор Косаковский
Один из старейших вопросов человечества: что происходит на другой стороне Земли? Забавная мысль: пройти сквозь Землю и выйти с другой стороны - а там все кверху ногами! Есть ли у антиподов влияние на мысли и поступки друг друга? Есть ли параллели и связи между нами и нашими антиподами? И что будет, если взгляд антиподов на наш мир перевернуть с ног на голову? Используя эффектные монтажные стыки, Косаковский обращается к необычной теме антиподов и создает настоящую поэму о мультиполярном мире. История развивается в четырех парных географических позициях: Аргентина-Китай, Чили-Россия, Гавайи-Ботсвана, Новая Зеландия-Испания. Все эти места каким-то мистическим образом связаны друг с другом, несмотря на свою кажущуюся противоположность...

Manet - Portraying Life. Phil Grabsky, Ben Harding
This eagerly awaited exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts was the first ever retrospective devoted to the portraiture of Edouard Manet. Spanning this enigmatic and, at times, controversial artist’s entire career Manet: Portraying Life brought together works from across Europe, Asia and the USA.
Manet’s portraiture has never been explored in exhibition form, despite it forming around half of his artistic output. He painted his family, friends and the literary, political and artistic figures of the day, giving life not only to his subjects but also to Parisian society. The exhibition consisted of more than 50 works; including portraits of his most frequent sitter, his wife Suzanne Leenhoff, luminaries of the period; Antonin Proust, Émile Zola and Stéphane Mallarmé, along with scenes from everyday life revealing Manet’s forward-thinking, modern approach to portraiture.
The film revealed exclusive behind-the-scenes moments of the exhibition’s preparation, which normally go unseen by the public, and interwove a detailed, superbly crafted biography of Manet and 19th century Paris. Host Tim Marlow and special guests looked at the craft of one of the all-time great artists, the ‘father of modern art’.

Written on Skin. George Benjamin
Written on Skin is an opera by the British composer George Benjamin. It was premiered at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2012, and received its British premiere at the Royal Opera House in London in March 2013; Benjamin conducted for both of these premiere seasons.
The libretto by Martin Crimp is based on a legend of the troubadour Guillaume de Cabestanh; the story is also repeated in The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio. The action takes place in 12th-century Provence. The wealthy Protector pays the Boy to create and illustrate a manuscript about his family. The Boy and the Protector's wife Agnès are attracted to each other. The Protector murders the Boy and forces Agnès to eat the Boy's heart. Agnès commits suicide. 'Angels' comment throughout on the action from a modern-day perspective.
The success of the opera in performance has motivated the Royal Opera to commission a new full-length opera by Crimp and Benjamin, to be premiered in 2018.

Anita Wardell. The Road
“The Road” showcases Anita’s agility, precision through a voice that soars like a finely tuned instrument. Pianist and long time collaborator Robin Aspland’s inventive re-workings of standards such as “You’re My Thrill”, “Surrey With The Fringe On Top” and “Without A Song” leave room for some exciting and swinging improvisations – whilst Stevie Wonder’s “Superwoman”, Bobby Hutcherson’s “Mirrors” and Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays’ “Travels”, show a more contemporary side of Wardell

Too Much in Love to Care. Claire Martin
Claire Martin has been a driving force behind the UK jazz scene for the past 25 years and has won many accolades, including a British Jazz Award no less than six times. Her massive contribution to UK jazz was noted in 2011 when she was the proud recipient of an O.B.E. in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to music.
2011 saw Claire return to the States where she performed sell-out shows at The Lincoln Center with pianist Bill Charlap and The Algonquin Hotel in New York City with Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. New York City was also the location for her latest recording 'Too Much in Love to Care' which she recorded with guest star Kenny Barron at Avatar Studios, one of the greatest recording facilities in the world.
They were joined by bassist Peter Washington, drummer Kenny Washington and guest Steve Wilson on saxophone and flute.

The Gambler. Sergei Prokofiev
Filmed in the historic Mariinsky Theatre in 2010, it stars celebrated Russian tenor Vladimir Galuzin and bass Sergei Aleksashkin, and is conducted by Valery Gergiev. It is of fundamental significance that under Gergiev s baton the Mariinsky Orchestra and opera company have performed all of Prokofiev s symphonies, concerti and operas on numerous occasions. Georgian director Temur Chkheidze, who also presented the Mariinsky s last production in 1996 and directed the opera with critical success at the Metropolitan Opera in 2001, gives a fresh look to Prokofiev s first opera. Set in the fictional town of Roulettenburg in the mid-19th Century, 'The Gambler' is a four-act opera that displays the dramatic highs and lows involved in the game of chance. At the centre of the story is Alexei, who is in love with The General s step-daughter, Pauline. All of the characters fall victim to the temptation of gambling, each one consumed by the obsession and greed that drives them. Vladimir Galuzin, who plays the role of Alexei, is indisputably one of the world s leading dramatic tenors, known for his unrivaled stentorious voice and extremely vivid characterisations of some of the most demanding roles. A Mariinsky soloist since 1990, he is much in demand internationally, performing regularly during the last two decades as a guest of most of the world s most prominent opera houses, concert halls and festivals. The role of The General is played by Russian bass Sergei Aleksashkin. Three-time recipient of the Golden Sofit, St Petersburg s most prestigious theatre prize, Sergei has been a Mariinsky Theatre soloist since 1989, singing title roles in Mussorgsky s 'Boris Godunov' and Glinka s 'Ruslan and Lyudmila'.

Что такое интеллект и как его развивать. Роль образования и традиций. Ричард Нисбетт
Whether intelligence is largely determined by genetics or environment has long been hotly contested. Nisbett, a University of Michigan psychology professor, weighs in forcefully and articulately, claiming that environmental conditions almost completely overwhelm the impact of genes. He comes to this conclusion through a careful statistical analysis of a large number of studies and also demonstrates how environment can influence not only IQ measures but actual achievement of both students and adults. (People often overachieve when appropriate incentives are in place, Nisbett argues.) Nisbett builds a very strong case that measured IQ differences across racial, cultural and socioeconomic boundaries can easily be explained without resorting to hereditary factors. The result is a very positive message: schools, parents and government programs can have a huge impact if they take the right, which are not necessarily the most expensive, steps. Without those steps, he says, the current role of socioeconomic factors is frightening, with economically disadvantaged children largely condemned to failure. Although Nisbett relies heavily on statistics to document his claims, he does so in a manner accessible to general readers and uses a thoroughly appealing style to engage them throughout.

Бобо в раю: откуда берется новая элита. Дэвид Брукс
Книга американского социолога и журналиста Дэвида Брукса посвящена описанию нового класса, возникшего за последние двадцать лет в США. Для обозначения этого класса автор придумал неологизм «бобо» (bourgeois bohemian, богемная буржуазия). Русским читателям более известны другие определения — хипстеры, креативный или образованный класс. Но как бы ни менялись названия или национальная специфика, перед нами новая глобальная элита, соединившая в своем этосе демократизм и элитизм, уважение к образованию и финансовую состоятельность, творчество и корпоративный бизнес. Путеводитель по миру «бобо» — возможность узнать о привычках и происхождении элиты информационного века, то есть возможность понять и принять ее.
Бобо – богемная буржуазия, она же креативный класс, она же творческая интеллигенция. Книга написана десять лет назад, переведена только сейчас. Автор описывает общество, где символический капитал конвертируется в реальные деньги, где богема живет по более жестким буржуазным законам, чем сами буржуи. Критика не «обличающая», а скорее констатирующая факт. Как ни неприятно это осознавать, но это мы с вами.

Третий путь. Без демократов и коммунистов. Бенито Муссолини
Storia di un anno. Il tempo del bastone e della carota, 1944 / The Fall of Mussolini (1948) was written during the brief period between his rescue by the Germans in September 1943 and his execution by Italian partisans in April 1945. Here the Duce recounts his last year in power and the coup d'etat that deposed him.
Бенито Муссолини был одним из тех, кто творил историю XX века. Мемуары Муссолини охватывают военный период его деятельности. В них дуче постоянно возвращается к прошлому, сравнивает, анализирует, делает прогнозы. Он считает, что наряду с либеральными или коммунистическими путями выхода из кризиса, охватившего мир в первой половине XX века, есть третий путь – создание национального государства на принципах социального партнерства.
Кроме того, в мемуарах Муссолини содержатся меткие и точные характеристики многих известных людей той эпохи. По сути – это политическое завещание Муссолини, и оно, по замыслу автора, должно оправдать в глазах потомства как самого дуче, так и исповедуемые им идеалы.

Стиль и эпоха. Моисей Гинзбург
Книга великого конструктивиста в простой, ясной и бесспорной форме раскрывает одну из «великих тайн искусства». Искусство (архитектура в большей степени) – заложник заказчика, собственника «вкусов», «хозяев дискурса» (если угодно). Гинзбург считал, что лишь в стране, где заказчиком является сам народ, художник подлинно свободен творчески. Книга, написанная в 1928 году, раскрывает многие загадки искусства современного.
Материальная цивилизация, экономика и капитализм, XV–XVIII вв. Фернан Бродель
Бродель обнаруживает скрытые закономерности времени и разрушает множество «культурных мифов» последних двухсот лет. Книга демонстрирует, как мир сообществ, городов-государств, удельных княжеств складывался в единую микросистему, существующую по общим законам. Бродель показывает: изоляция иллюзорна.

Империя. Майкл Хардт, Антонио Негри
Книга Майкла Хардта и Антонио Негри предлагает новую модель существования в современном мире. Уклонение, номадизм – не попытка уйти от навязчивого контроля, а способ сохранить общество. «Империя», пожалуй, единственная книга, написанная за последние 20 лет, предлагающая выход из глобального идейного кризиса, охватившего мир. Хардт и Негри во многом реабилитируют философию, возвращая ей страсть и высказывание, которого философы постмодернизма и послевоенной эпохи стеснялись.

The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu
Nicolae Ceausescu (Actor), Andrei Ujica (Director)
“After all, a dictator is simply an artist who is able to fully put into practice his egotism. It is a mere question of aesthetic level, whether he turns out to be Baudelaire or Bolintineanu, Louis XVI or Nicolae Ceausescu.” Andrei Ujica
During the summary trial that he and his wife were submitted to, Nicolae Ceausescu is reviewing his long reign in power: 1965-1989. It is an historical tableau that in its scope resembles American film frescos such as those dedicated to the Vietnam War.

RAUTAVAARA Modificata, Incantations, Towards the Horizon
Lucerne Festival Orchestra • Abbado
The works on this CD span over 50 years of Einojuhani Rautavaara's career, the earliest, Modificata from 1957, and the latest, Percussion Concerto, "Incantations," from 2008-2009. The album is filled out by another late piece, Cello Concerto No. 2, "Towards the Horizon," from 2008. It's intriguing to hear how much has changed and how much has held steady in his musical expression. "Prævariata," the first movement of Modificata, was the first Finnish serial work. The pitch choices may have been determined serially, but instead of the edgy angularity of much serial music of the era, this piece is full of the Romantic, sweeping lines that characterize Rautavaara's most familiar style; in a game of Guess the Composer, an astute listener might easily suggest Rautavaara, based on the use of the kinds of grand, lyrical gestures that have persisted throughout his career. With the two concertos, fans of the composer are in more familiar territory. Both pieces have evocative titles that suggest mystery and the unknown, and are essentially lyrical and strongly melodic. In the Percussion Concerto that means ample use of marimba and vibraphone. In both works Rautavaara conjures up images of mysterious wind-swept landscapes with a signature device: passages of swirling activity, often in the woodwinds, coursing over a slow-moving bass and under a soaring, lyrical melody. John Storgårds leads the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra in atmospheric and energetic reading of the scores. The concertos feature the soloists for whom they were written. Cellist Truls Mørk plays with a sweet, singing, intense tone that suits the character of the concerto well. Scottish percussionist Colin Currie manages the composer's demanding score with ease and panache. Ondine, sound is clean, detailed, and nicely ambient.

Peter Ash: The Golden Ticket
The Golden Ticket, a comic opera based on Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, was commissioned by American Lyric Theater and Felicity Dahl from American composer Peter Ash and British librettist Donald Sturrock. Dahl's fantastic imagination is vividly brought to life in the witty libretto, and the completely original score ingeniously parodies many traditional operatic conventions to help portray the bigger than life characters that inhabit Wonka's world. The opera premiered in 2010 at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, in partnership with Ireland's Wexford Festival Opera and New York's American Lyric Theater, where it was embraced by audiences and critics alike: "Donald Sturrock's libretto captures the wit, wizardry and wonder of Dahl's story about five children who gain access to the legendary Willy Wonka's confectionery establishment in a contest by finding golden tickets in their chocolates.

Stanislaw Moniuszko: Verbum nobile
Aleksander Teliga, Aleksandra Buczek, Leszek Skrla, Michal Partyka, Janusz Lewandowski, Chor i Orkiestra Opery na Zamku / Warcislaw Kunc
The lightness and charm of the overture sets the tone for a wonderfully engaging performance from the forces of Szczecin’s Opera at the Castle under Warcislaw Kunc. Celebrated as the ‘Father of Polish music’, Moniuszko remains too little known abroad, and this Verbum Nobile – only the work’s second recording – should help to increase his appeal.

Drivin' the Boogie. Chris Conz Trio
Die Musik ist sehr vielseitig und gereift und wird mit unglaublichem Groove und viel Drive vorgetragen – sei es nun mit dem „Warm up Blues" (swingige Eigenkomposition mit gefühlvollen Klängen), „Drivin' the Boogie" (pianistische Hochgeschwindigkeits-Fingerakrobatik und trotzdem durchgängig groovig), „Dragging The Blues" (erzeugt dieses schleppende Blues-Tanz-Feeling in uns), „Honky Tonk Train Blues" (DER Klassiker, der die Wesensverwandtschaft des Boogie Woogie zu Dampflokomotiven besonders gut zum Ausdruck bringt), „Margie" (Happy-Sound zum tanzenderweise „absauen" und danach lauthaus "Zugabe" rufen) oder mit „Bop Boogie" (zügiges Tempo, ohne jedoch beim Tanzen Stress zu erzeugen, richtig gut rollend). Beim letztgenannten Stück lässt im Intro der Bassist Nuno Alexandre, der vollauf in die Musik der 30er-, 40er- und 50er-Jahre vernarrt ist, seinen eigenen Trademark-Slap-Style aufblitzen. Und durch die ganze CD hindurch verhält sich Martin Meyer am Schlagzeug sehr zurückhaltend und erzeugt gerade deshalb und natürlich mit seinem Swing sehr grosse Wirkung!
... oder kurz gesagt: sehr groovig, zum Tanzen inspirierend ... - wir lieben es!
