In the author’s opinion, by comparing various forms of the one-word mysticism we can uncover their anthropological grounds. In the article the author compared Christian brief prayer with Western Christian glossolalia. He proved that such a perplexed mystic pattern only caused additional difficulties in classification and hermeneutics when analyzing the charismatic movement from methods to techniques.

EXISTENTIALS: SMELL
// Philosophy and Culture.
2008. ¹ 12.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56106
Abstract:
We have always treated smell with caution: we absolutely repel some smells and do all we can to bring other smells into our life. What makes us so concerned about it?

SYMBOL IN N. A. BERDYAEV’S INTERPRETATION
// Philosophy and Culture.
2008. ¹ 12.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56108
Abstract:
The article analyzes N. A. Berdyaev’s saying that “culture is the greatest failure of the mankind”. By explaining this saying which may seem quite paradoxical, the author showed that culture had a great transcendental meaning. According to N. A. Berdyaev, culture is full of symbols which connect people with the transcendence. It is even possible to substitute for spirituality with a symbol. However, the true mission of a symbol is to be an identification sign of spirituality.

BELIEF AND MIND IN PHYLOSOPHY OF I. V. KIREEVSKIY
// Philosophy and Culture.
2008. ¹ 12.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56109
Abstract:
The author spoke of the central place in I. V. Kireevskiy’s Christian philosophy being devoted to the thoughts on the relation between the faith and the reason. However, we haven’t inherited much from this great thinker. As a result, there is a danger that the strict division between the faith and the reason might be a way too simplified. On the other hand, treating these two concepts as something similar would make I. V. Kireevskiy’s teaching “unoriginal”. The author tried to overcome these two extremes and provide for a clear understanding of the subject.

PURPOSE AND MEANING OF A HISTORICAL EVENT
// Philosophy and Culture.
2008. ¹ 12.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56110
Abstract:
The author distinguished between historical and ahistorical events. The latter included such natural phenomena as volcanic eruption, flood and eclipse. The author underlined that visible physical activity lacking the intention is not considered as “activity” at all. Speaking of the “purpose” of a historical event, the author meant intentions, desires and goals guiding participants of the event. He also interpreted “meaning” or “significance” as a combination of all its environmental and social consequences.
