Publishing program of “Kanon+”

Abstract

Serious philosophical literature issues the publishing house “Kanon+”. Selection for publication is often unexpected. This applies, for example, to the “Notebooks of L.S. Vygotsky” or original in many ways “Emotional plague of mankind” by W. Reich. The records that L.S. Vygotsky kept for himself are multifarious: notes on memory, unexpected thoughts, and polemical remarks. Undoubted achievement of the publishers is the publication of classic work of Reich, which may be called a kind of social utopia, destined to crush the emotional plague of humankind.
The work of O.V. Popova “Man as an artifact of biotechnology” opens new horizons for the analysis of achievements of biotechnology and of transformation of human nature. The collected papers “Perspectives of realism in contemporary philosophy” are devoted to the focal problem of modern discussions on realism and antirealism in the philosophy of science and epistemology.
