P. 14-20.

Abstract:
The author of the article analyzes how philosophy and existential are connected. Existential is interpreted as a story written in the spiritual background of existence. Being the ‘school of entrance’ (ex-sistus), philosophy is the ‘techne’ of this existential writing. Based on the author, life is a stream and we give it a certain order when we inscribe life events in that existential story. The author of the existential story creates his own author who, in his turn, helps the author to revive. Death and birth are also complementary factors of this existential creativity. Death gives integrity to the existential story and birth or revival makes it flexible and moving. According to the author, death and birth are of similar nature but they are not identical. Developing his views on these matters, the author used the conceptions of existential phenomenology (Heidegger, Husserl) which had applied not only to modern philosophers such as Arendt) but also antique philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle)

At the modern stage of social and cultural post-modernism the term ‘virtual world’ is the key term for diagnostics and development of effective methods of prognosis. The term ‘virtual world’ (from Latin vis – force, ability and virtualis – capable of, possible) has a rather broad meaning: possibility of existence; what seems to be; what exists in reality but is not represented in material images; some inner ties of a complex system. It is clear that the author is talking about a very complex and important occurrence. The author is talking about the phenomenon which plays a very significant role in our life and may become even more important in the future

Abstract:
The community form of social life in ancient times did not remain unchanged. Gradually, there had been certain changes in its technological and economical grounds, social organization and life style of our ancestors. During Neolithic age agriculture and production became the priorities. Based on that, an archeologist G. Childe introduced the term ‘Neolithic revolution’ which meant, in the first place, the beginning of agriculture and cattle production. These sectors required stone instruments of labor to be improved and changed by the instruments made out of metal – copper, bronze and later iron. This is the time when metallurgy and other types of crafts appeared

Abstract:
The author tells his own opinion on Vladimir Alexandrovich Kutyrev works. It makes us think of the section ‘polemics’ in Philosophy and Culture journal. However, the section ‘polemics’ suggests that the other authors’ views are treated delicately. ‘Let them talk’ is the name of a TV show. However, it does not reflect the meaning of philosophical polemics. The author admits that even he isn’t quite sure that he follows the rule of polemics regarding the other article of the journal. He still hopes he will be understood
