17David I. Dubrovsky and Merab MamardashviliForum Philosophicum: International Journal for Philosophy 24 (2): 301-341. 2019.In his speech “The European Responsibility,” the Georgian philosopher Merab Mamardashvili summarizes his utopia of a fulfilled humanity by presenting it as an integration of two main traditions: the Graeco-Roman and Judeo-Christian ones. In contrast, David Dubrovsky launches a new perspective for present and future human evolution: the cyber-superman, i.e. the perfect merging of human mind and digital brain—or the bio-digital interface. “Intelligence” here is not just an artificial by-product of…Read more

Poetics of Dreams: Cultural/Narrative Meaning of the Dream-Chronotope in Calderon de la Barca’s La vida es sueño and Geoffrey Chaucer’s House of Fame.”Mediaevistik: Internationale Zeitschrift Für Interdisziplinäre Mittelalterforschung 29 (1): 207-244. 2016.Sleep and dream visions as revelations, narrative devices, signs of illness, and aesthetic-artistic formulae alongside their interpretations, are common experiences shared by all cultures throughout the ages.
