Soldatska T. The Notion of Responsivity in the modern Philosophy.

The thesis is dedicated to the analysis of the notion of responsivity and its importance in the modern philosophic discussion. It anticipates examination of the event of response as the inalienable element of the communication's ontology. It is exposed its essential parameters by means of critical reinterpretation of selected theories, which allow to speak about the phenomenon of response as the general characteristic of the speech and nonspeech acts and actions or the constitutive feature of the human experience. The dissertation embraces the detailed analysis of basic terms and statements of the responsive phenomenology and Collingwood's descriptive metaphysics. Correspondingly, the phenomenological reception of responsivity is exposed due to the basing of the contradictory stranger's experience and concentration on the notions of "pathos's situation", "diastase", "responsive difference" "intrasub'ective strange" and oth. The Collingwood's logic of question and answer arises in the examination not just as critical position with respect to the Oxonian realism and the propositional logic, but also as the methodology of the theory of Reenactment which is defined by the ascertainment of the relevant pair of question and answer. The author submits for consideration her own understanding of the outlooks of the up-to-date responsive theory, which arises as alternative to the other leading currents of the philosophic thought and is defined by the wide field of problems and different realms of its application. It can be proved by the rise of the specific responsive ethics which is grounded on the asymmetric connection between me and Other. This situation suggests the new dimension of human relations. The last one avoids different conditions of appropriation and comparing which promote only partial interests.
