ОППОЗИЦИЯ СЕМИОТИЗМ – ОНТОЛОГИЗМ В ФИЛОСОФИИ ЯЗЫКА XX ВЕКА

В данной статье рассматривается оппозиция семиотизм – онтоло-

альное происхождение и обладает самостоятельной онтологией.

Thomas Reid about the Active Power as the Cause of Changes in the World

The main subjects of the article are the analysis of Thomas Reid’s conception concerning the “active power” and an attempt to give the definition of it on the basis of this conception.
