MIET at the International Kant Congress

In 2024 the world celebrates the 300th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding thinker Immanuel Kant. Kaliningrad, Kant's hometown, has become the place where a real celebration of philosophy unfolded, and numerous anniversary events are held there. One of such events dedicated to the anniversary was the International Kant Congress "The World Concept of Philosophy". Professor of the Institute of High-Tech Law, Social and Human Sciences Naira Danielyan became the speaker from our university. She gave a presentation in the section "Kantian epistemology in the perspective of modern science" on the report "Kant's subjective and objective: Modern Meanings". It was about the relevance of the epistemological ideas expressed by Kant in the "Critique of Pure Reason" for the modern theory of knowledge.

"According to the theory of cognition, Kant allows a subjectivized reality in which the object and the subject are not opposed to each other in the course of acquiring cognitive experience. Over the past centuries, many new concepts and ideas about subject-object interaction in the process of cognition have appeared, but they do not fully satisfy the new ideas about the nature of cognition that arise under the influence of AI technologies. Modern intellectual systems are based on the combination of the subject, the means of cognition and the object in a cognitive act, since an intermediary between the user and the computer is no longer required, they merge into a single sociotechnical system, which causes a transition from traditional epistemology to the formation of ideas about the interaction of the system with the environment," Naira Danielyan said.

The conference on the philosophy of science and technology is held annually in MIET. In April, the 2nd International Scientific and Practical Conference "Philosophy in the XXI century" was held, with more than 80 speakers from 20 cities of Russia, as well as from Belarus and Armenia.
