P. 14-24.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58041
Abstract:
The article considers some aspects of the
process of infl uence of ideology, social cultural values,
standards of ethics and esthetics and etc. on
the process of history reconstruction. It is noted
that ideology infl uence is one of the most strongly
marked and the most distorting the entire process
and outcomes of the history reconstruction. The
author insists on the thesis that the implicit form of
basic cultural values and social norms is refl ected
in reconstructive ‘historical knowledge’. Moreover,
when the former changes, it makes the historical
knowledge to change, too. As a result, any society
would inevitably have its own history based on the
values and norms generally accepted in this society.
The author of the article also raises a question about moral and ethical responsibility of a historian
for results of such reconstruction.

because detection of prognosis grounds for

Possession of such technologies for designing the
future should be one of the main priorities for
our country. It is the question of economic benefi
t or national security. Based on the author, it
is the question of our country’s survival. It resembles
the Soviet times when passion of nuclear

for existence and sustainable functioning of the
USSR.

of Fear and Anxiety in the History of
Philosophy.
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 3.
P. 50-56.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58044
Abstract:
The evolutional analysis of the stereotypes
of fear and anxiety in the History of
Philosophy shows that in many philosophers’ works
there have been attempts to learn the nature of fear
and anxiety, to give them anthropological and ontological
grounds, to classify the forms and kinds
of fear, to demonstrate its connection with other
mental states. The analysis of the social aspects of
fear and anxiety as constituent elements of social
behaviour and management has become an important
feature of the philosophic theories.
