This article analyzes the philosophical views of the Russian philosopher Andrey V. Smirnov. Smirnov has advanced and substantiated the idea that there exist at least two distinct ways of linking the subject and the predicate in a statement-one of these he calls the substance logic (S-logic) and the other, the process logic (P-logic). S-logic reveals the characteristics (predicates) proper to the subject of the statement, whereas P-logic demonstrates the relationship between the Agent and the Patient-a process in which the predicates become actualized. Each of these logics, according to Smirnov, forms a sensepositing field of a specific culture. Viewing consciousness as the actualization of the intuition of svyaznost' and tselostnost'*, Smirnov suggests a novel treatment of the classical problem of philosophy posed long ago by Immanuel Kant: the problem of unity of cogito and the ability to form judgments (the transcendental unity of apperception). The article shows that when we regard the logic of sense as a way of comprehension and action in a world defined by oneness of consciousness and culture, we discover another subject plane in Smirnov's reasoning-a plane of historical reality. Addressing the task of analyzing globalization processes, the philosopher compares and contrasts the two views of the historical meaning of globalization as represented by the categories of the obshcheche-lovecheskoe and the vsechelovecheskoe**, which have been introduced by Russian thinkers Nikolai Danilevsky and Fyodor Dostoevsky. As opposed to the obshchechelovecheskoe, the meaning of the vsechelovecheskoe in globalization lies in the idea that any culture is fully entitled to existence and cannot be supplanted by some universal, "uniformly human" culture. This work compares the concepts of the logic of sense by Gilles Deleuze and Andrey Smirnov as two diverging views on the event of thought.
