Abstract:
The article analyzes the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence. The article considers the subjectivity of artificial intelligence, determines its necessity for solving intellectual problems depending on the possibility of representing the real world as a deterministic system. Methodological limitations of artificial intelligence, which is based on the use of big data technologies, are stated. These limitations cause the impossibility of forming a holistic representation of the objects of cognition and the world as a whole. As a tool for deterministic description of the universe it is proposed to use empirical-metaphysical general theory of systems, which is an extension of existing general theories of systems due to ontological justification of the phenomenon of isomorphism and definition of a limited set of laws, rules, patterns and primitives of forms and relations of objects in the universe. The distinction of natural (human) and artificial intelligence is considered, including the realization of multisystem integration of intelligence in physical, biological, social and spiritual systems. A philosophically grounded approach to ensuring the evolutionary properties of artificial intelligence is formulated, based on the inclusion of non-equilibrium mechanisms through which stability is realized.

The character of Levin in the ballet “Anna Karenina” choreographed by John Neumeier Anna Karenina: the peculiarities of choreographic interpretation
// Philosophy and Culture.

Abstract:
The problem of choreographic interpretation of the novel “Anna Karenina” by L. Tolstoy in the modern ballet theater is relevant: in the past twenty years, several outstanding choreographers have selected this theme for their performance. The subject of this article is the interpretation of the character of Levin by John Neumeier. The goal consists in revealing the expressive elements and peculiarities of choreographic language used by the ballet master in staging this role, as well as in juxtaposing them with the original literary text. The article employs comparative and analytical methods, overt observation (in the process of working with Neumeier on the role of Kitty), Neumeier's lectures prior to the Moscow premiere of “Anna Karenina” (from the author's archive), and materials from video archives of the theatre. Detailed semantic analysis of stage direction and choreographic language of the role of Levin became the basic instrument for determining the traits of Tolstoy’s hero, which Neumeier derived from the literary source. Tolstoy’s reasoning on the topics that require in-depth philosophical reflection, which were inscribed into the artistic fabric of the novel, are instilled in the role of Levin. Creating the choreographic interpretation of this character, Neumeier did not pursue the original verbatim. However, the choreographer strongly emphasizes the difference between Levin and other characters. Determination of the staging techniques used for this purpose define the novelty of the research results, which can be applied in the further study of Neumeier's works. This includes explicit monologue, Stevens' songs as musical background, bare feet of the dancer, series of symbolic leitmotivs of bodily movements, arbitrary bodily movements that resemble improvisation, usage of costume details. Levin's monologues represent a performance within a performance, philosophical-symbolic choreographic meditation that is not connected with the overall plotline. Such solution, despite all apparent differences, conceptually brings together the choreographed character of Levin and the original text. Interpretation of this role is one of the key components in interpretation of L. Tolstoy's novel by J. Neumeier, which encompasses the author’s innovative staging solutions.

Abstract:
This article turns particular attention to the symbolic interpretation of the phenomenon of ethnos and ethnic culture that fits into the constructivist paradigm of ethnology. As the basis is taken the presence of a unique secondary symbolic spectrum of consciousness, development at the stage of ethnogenesis and accomplishing a function of edification of the ethical in a person. In this angle, ethnic culture appears as social code and psychomental structure bound to the traditional life-sustaining system, rooted by ritual, and its fundamental core is the mythologically concepted unique spectrum of ethnic symbols of consciousness. Such metaphysical-symbolic articulation of the phenomenon of ethnos and its culture raises a question on the possible termination of their existence, as a results of destruction of the symbolic spectrum of secondary mythological symbols. The scientific novelty is defined by conclusion on the symbolic nature of ethnos and its culture, which is explicated through the unique interpretation of the universal for human of any culture initial symbols of consciousness, which establish the cultural code of a person. This secondary after the verbal interpretation spectrum of ethnic symbols represents a cultural code of ethnos. The contemporary nations that did not lose the indicated ontological symbolic constructs can possibly experience their renaissance and modernization. The latter appears as the synthesis of the symbols of diverse cultures that is demonstrated on the examples of modern Yakut cultural practices – theatre, cinematography, dance, and fine arts.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the nature of consciousness within the framework of the information concept. The paper proposes a definition of consciousness as an informational environment in which an extended model of reality is realized. The process of realization of this extended model is defined as thinking. The result of thinking is information objects that form a system in the form of information environment. Information objects are reflections of the real world properties, not directly, but by means of translation through a special object – a carrier of consciousness. In the case of human consciousness, such a carrier is a human being (represented in the form of his nervous system). As a result, consciousness can be qualified as a simulacrum of reality, i.e., a model of a model: an information model of the carrier of consciousness, which in turn is a means of physical modeling of the real "big" world. Possible mechanisms mediating thinking are considered. For this purpose, two new concepts are introduced: neural circuit and neurophysical pattern. An approach to the study of self-consciousness based on the localization of the consciousness carrier in the multidimensional space of states of initial real objects, as well as their reflections in the form of information objects is proposed. This localization is ensured by the presence of feedbacks. Summarizing the results of the study, the article states the following connection between consciousness, self-consciousness and subjectness: under certain conditions (when consciousness is localized in the state space of the carrier of consciousness), consciousness acquires the property of self-consciousness, a special case of which (when the initiator of changes determining localization is the carrier of consciousness) is self-consciousness endowed with subjectness.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is defined by the following question: what allows a person to differentiate time phenomenon from all other; is inconsistency of materialistic world alone enough for encountering the time phenomenon; what are the sources of inseparable link between time with action and space; what is duration and how it differs from time; what is the substantiation for all properties assigned to time; what is the nature of qualities attributed to space? The author proposes an original approach towards solution of the problem of time: before speaking of one or another nature of time, it should be clearly realized which phenomenon is in question, what is the distinctive feature allowing its identification, and what are the form, way and conditions of its manifestation. The article determines an inseparable link of the time phenomenon with the function that people unconsciously assign in the course of their practical activity to sequence of occurrences, formed by the shift in current states of rotation of the Earth. Active role of brain of the subject in “organization” of time phenomenon is revealed alongside. The affiliation of the concept of time to the range of concept-statuses alongside general specificity of the objective concept of such concepts are determined. The conclusion is made that there was a time when time did not exist. The author provides definitions to the fundamental time concepts based on the revealed objective content of these concepts. The fact is stated on the emergence of a completely new concept of time that gives the key to unraveling all of its mysteries.

Abstract:
This article attempt to clarify whether the accusations brought by modern physics and probabilistic thinking against unambiguous determinism are justified. Is it incompatible with the existence of various possibilities, coincidences, free will, and certain laws of microcosm? Does it really lead to absolute predetermination? Is the perception of universality and fundamentality of unambiguous causation really outdated? Can the dynamic laws be limited in their manifestation? Can they be replaced with probabilistic laws? At the same time, the logic of research is founded on determination of the essence of all the phenomena that are supposedly incompatible with the unambiguous determinism. In the course of research, the author adheres to gradual implementation of the principle of materialistic monism. The conclusion is made that the classical representation of universality and fundamentality of unambiguous causality remains relevant and is fully compatible with the presence of various possibilities, coincidences, free will, and probability. The author reveals the nature of possibilities and coincidences, as well as indicated inseparability of these phenomena from the predictive activity of a human. The article also determines inextricable link between the dynamic laws and the materiality of the cognizable world, which testifies to their unlimited fundamentality. The nature of probabilistic laws and their inseparability from dynamic laws is underlined. The author provides arguments that unambiguous causality does not lead to absolute predomination of events, emphasizes the importance of the worldview criterion of validity of scientific representations; and clarifies the definition of matter.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the contours of philosophical reasoning on the authenticity of human existence from the perspective of postmodernism. Comparison is conducted on interpretations of subjectivity in different philosophical discourses. The article examines the postmodern stage as an inversion of values and traditions of modernism and postmodernism in the context of new realities of the digital virtualized society. The author reviews the postmodern inter-worldliness of a subject and externalized selfness of a human, who on the one hand seeks self-identification, and om the other – avoids it, falling under the sway of symbolic identity, determined by the social institutions, norms and standards. Research methodology is based on the historical-philosophical approach, phenomenology of social, existential analytics and object-oriented ontology. A conclusion is made that the situation of s postmodern human is reflected in transition from the idea of diluting metanarrative to ethical universalism, from the regression of the philosophy of identity to object-oriented ontology, from skepticism to sincerity, from ironic sensibility of postmodernism to aesthetic experiencing of the tragic, from the power of text to metaphoric access to reality.

Abstract:
The author examines the idea of "mind" in three linguistic pictures of the world - Russian, French and Chinese. The study is contrastive, the results are compared. The description of each idea is made according to a clear algorithm: the etymology of the word, the mythological roots of the concept, its compatibility, from the compatibility is distinguished real connotation according to V. A. Uspensky, a comparison of dictionary definitions is made. The aim of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the idea of "mind" in the Russian, French and Chinese languages. The purpose of the comparison is to see the similarities and differences in the worldview of different peoples. Scientific methods of research are: comparative-historical method, method of generalization, method of semantic analysis. This topic is understudied, no linguocultural studies analyzing this idea in Russian, French and Chinese culture have been observed earlier, which constitutes the scientific novelty of the work. The results will contribute to mutual understanding between peoples, forming a kind of conceptual bridge, and will also be used in courses on regional studies, comparative studies of cultures, and in the teaching of the respective languages.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the analysis of the impact of ideas of the philosopher and writer Henri Bergson upon the worldview and creative path of Mikhail Prishvin. It is demonstrated that in order to reveal the ontological meanings of reality, M. Prishvin actively uses the most diverse historical, cultural, religious, philosophical, and political concepts, which is testified by the set of the relevant philosophical conclusions presents in the semantic field of his diary notes, publicist and literary texts. The author meticulously analyzes the impact of the ideas of national and foreign thinkers upon the artistic discourse of Mikhail Prishvin. The article applies the method of historical-philosophical reconstruction. The images, symbols and expressions of Prishvin in the artistic works are compared with metatext, which realizes the writer’s philosophemes reconstructed via their correlation with the philosophical texts of Bergson. The scientific novelty consists in the analysis of development of the artistic thought of the writer, who detects in Bolshevism not only the similarity between Marxism and Bergson’s philosophy, but also compares them with the ideas of Christianity, and then places the various images, symbols and concepts upon each other. Combining the opposite ideologemes, M. Prishvin determines the ontological changes of social existence, which were brought by the revolution and are difficult to describe from the worldview perspective alone.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the problems of professional piano education outlined by the Chinese and Russian authors. The article features a level model for description and summarization of the following relevant problems of Chinese piano education:1) locally observed (isolated) problems; 2) problems of insufficient professional qualification of pedagogical personnel; 3) absence of universal theoretical-methodological framework for preparation of the highly qualified personnel; 4) theoretical-methodological problems of fusion of the European fundamentals of pianism with the peculiarities of Chinese traditional culture. The levels are discerned by gradation of the problems from evident and local, i.e. in the experience of students and educators, to more general (abstract) problems, which being theoretical and methodological, manifest as the sources of problems of the previous level. The author reveals the sublevels of the highlighted problematic areas and makes emphasis on interconnectedness of the indicated problems. This leads to the conclusion that the source of difficulties in Chinese piano education lies in the unresolved problem of integration of the international experience of piano education into the educational realities of China. The author believes that the conflict between the national and the European in Chinese pianism could have been overcome by getting rid of the idea of incompatibility of these piano cultures and creating an integrative model of theoretical-methodological fundamentals of professional musical education, which would combine the positions of Chinese and Russian scholars and pedagogues dealing with the theoretical-methodological problematic.

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to examination of the observable spaces established by authorities since modernity and existing in modern society. Leaning on the works of Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, Patrick Joyce and others, the author explicates the potential and boundaries of impact of the visual means used by authorities overall, and Panopticon as one of such means in particular. Visual methods of exercising of power are viewed in the context of other sensory modalities of a human. The author determines the perceptive spaces of power, which serve as alternative to Panopticon of Jeremy Bentham. Along with the general scientific methods of research, the author also applies the methodological principles and paradigms of post-structuralism, social constructivism, and interdisciplinary approach. A conclusion is made that the principle of Panopticism is not the universal principle of organization of space of the power in modern society. The mechanism of power within the Panoptic space is realized due to the implicit metaphysical orientations that the enclosed within it individuals are guided by. The author’s main contribution lies in explication of the alternative to Panipticon perceptive spaces of power. The article introduces the term “Panaudion” for designating the acoustic space of the power, designed by Athanasius Kircher. The analysis contains the theoretical sources that are not translated into Russian.

Abstract:
This article provides the original perspective on esotericism. Two author distinguishes between the two polar directions of esotericism – "transcendental" and "latent" (mental); as well as introduces the two postulates characteristic to the first direction that in previous research received the name of "classical". The article discusses what binds esotericism and philosophy, religion, and art; outlines the common aspects of these fields of knowledge and life activity are indicated (personal origins, design of reality, semiotic and psychological nature of reality); examines the cases of interaction, and what caused the decline of interest in esoteric teachings. The research consists of two parts. The first part explores the three cases that reveal a close link between esoteric, philosophical, scientific and literary thought, as well as the fact that esoteric ideas and concepts often enrich philosophy, science and art. The second part discusses the key reasons for the slump in esotericism: new cultural challenges that to which there is yet no esoteric answer, interception of esoteric discourse in a number of directions of contemporary art and philosophy. However, this pause is temporary, since esoteric path is one of the ways to prevail in personality culture; it can be assumed that esotericists will soon eliminate the existing gap. On the example of current interest in vampires, the author discusses certain peculiarities of the phenomenon of mysticism, which indicate that the phenomenon of vampirism is real, perhaps related to the forms of communication widely used in modern life.

Abstract:
The article investigates the peculiarities of Durer's aesthetic views in the context of Renaissance philosophy and the theory of cognition of Modern times. Its provisions are compared with fragments of texts by L.-B. Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael. The semantic interrelationships of Durer's positions with mysticism, pantheism, natural philosophy and empiricism of Modern Times are emphasized. The interrelation of the problem of knowledge with the theme of freedom and beauty is considered in detail. The authors analyze various opinions and ways of comprehending the beautiful, presented in the philosophical constructions of Durer, his concept of "rational knowledge", "scientific ignorance". Special attention is paid to the boundaries of freedom in Durer's representation. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the presented concept of the evolution of A. Durer's aesthetic views helps to comprehend those contradictory trends that existed in the Renaissance itself. Thus, Durer believed that freedom conditioned by knowledge ends where attempts to transcend nature begin. A necessary condition for freedom is the understanding that the beautiful is relative. From the understanding of the relativity of the beautiful, from the concrete utopian program of its achievement (gradual and never-ending approach to it), an imperative grows, meaning denial, the completion of the aesthetics of Rebirth. According to him, the artist should not limit himself to one type, but should be knowledgeable in various ways of depicting all kinds of types. In order to make such an image as is required of him. Thus, the professionalism of the artist, his experience, knowledge, recognition of the power of knowledge and, at the same time, understanding of its relativity – all this, as an achievement of the Renaissance theory of art, loses its meaning. All this is sacrificed to the tastes of employers.

Abstract:
This article is a study of the compatibility of the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism and Orthodox Christianity. The great importance of this topic is due to its direct connection with the improvement of society and the ongoing controversy on this issue with attempts to integrate communism with Christianity. The work provides a historical and theological analysis based on a critical study of the works of the founders of Marxism-Leninism, their associates, historical and theological works, as well as historical documents on this issue. The article examines the approaches of the teachings of Orthodox Christianity, as well as Marxism-Leninism to atheism, materialism, religion and the Church. For this purpose, the relevant texts of Holy Scripture, the opinions of the Church fathers and the views of the founders and followers of Marxism-Leninism are studied. The novelty of this study is that some documents are considered for the first time in the context of the problem under study. In addition, a more detailed and systematic historical and theological analysis of the comparison of the teachings of Marxism-Leninism and Orthodox Christianity on this topic is carried out in comparison with the available works. The purpose of the work is to study historical and theological works, as well as historical documents related to the problem under study. The article concludes that Marxism-Leninism in this matter is not compatible with Christianity and is directly opposed to it. Since the Second World War in the USSR, relations between the state and the Church have improved from time to time, but the official state course on Marxism-Leninism did not leave the possibility of their reconciliation. Currently, there are attempts to produce a symbiosis of these two teachings. Many Communists have a positive attitude towards the Church, so a dialogue between them is possible and necessary. But as long as the ideology of the Communists remains Marxism-Leninism, antagonistic to Christianity and any religion in general, in their ranks will always remain hostile to religion. Therefore, the synthesis of these teachings is impossible.

Abstract:
The subject of this study is the problem of the failure of attempts by the scientific community to come to a common understanding of what exactly information can be as something encoded into material structures and moved along with them. At the same time, the following aspects of this problem are considered in detail: what is the immediate cause of the information problem; what are the objective and subjective prerequisites for its appearance; why the unresolved nature of this problem does not interfere with the creation and development of communication systems, control and other "smart" devices; is there any general guideline for finding solutions to such problems, and what is it; what role did the philosophy of information play in turning the problem of information from a private scientific problem into a problem of the ideological level. The main results of the conducted research are as follows: the immediate cause of the information problem has been identified and a comprehensively substantiated solution to this problem has been given; it has been revealed that the incompleteness of the materialistic theory of cognition has become a fertile ground for the appearance of this problem; the circumstances that prevented its completion have been identified; the natural mechanism of control and cognition has been revealed, as a result of which the materialistic theory of cognition has been further developed the source of the ideal in the material world is revealed; it is shown that the mechanistic idea of information coding made the concept of information incompatible with the presence of any objective content; it is revealed what is actually hidden behind the words about information coding and its measurement; the nature of signals and signs is revealed; a kind of bias of the philosophy of information and a general error is revealed all known concepts of information.

Abstract:
The history of art in Russia and China is closely intertwined in the XX century, including thanks to the creative and pedagogical activities of Russian artists who found themselves in exile. Largely thanks to them, Harbin and Shanghai became major art centers in the 1920s–1930s. This period is characterized by fruitful processes in the country's art and culture, but also political upheavals at the same time. The problem of the study is to determine the peculiarities of the perception and interpretation by the emigrant masters of events from the life of the Chinese people, the atmosphere that prevailed in China. Thus, the subject of the study is the paintings and graphics of the largest emigrant artists of the specified period, and the object is the images of China of those years, conveyed in their works, and the means of implementing the idea. The main purpose of this article is to determine the range of themes and subjects that Russian emigrant artists addressed when creating images of contemporary China, as well as the specifics of their artistic embodiment. It is achieved by analyzing the historiography of this issue in Russian art criticism, as well as analyzing the creative works of such prominent representatives of the artistic intelligentsia in exile as M.A. Kichigin and his daughters, V.S. Podgursky, Ya.L. Likhonos, V.A. Asypkin. The study of the thematic component of their works shows that the masters were attracted by events from the life of ordinary people, as well as psychological portraits of residents of Chinese cities. Artistically, the artists remained committed to the Russian school, but allowed the influence of expressive features of Chinese painting.

Abstract:
The author continues to study the phenomenon of accelerated flow of time at the inflation stage of the Bing Bang named as inflation futurization. Such form of futurization represents the very first process of “advanced futurization” that unfolded in the Universe and has a data component. The data component of inflation futurization is revealed from the perspective of the attributive concept of information. The Inflation state of Bing Bang at the data level kind of “simulated” at a rapid pace, as well as ahead of schedule “forecasted” what started happening in the Universe in a much slower pace in the main line of universal evolution. It is demonstrated that evolution and information are immanently interconnected, which allows forming the information (or even digital) pattern of the Universe, including as a giant quantum supercomputer. It is suggested that in a certain sense the Bing Bang can be interpreted as an information “explosion”, because the accumulation of data is possible only within the expanding in three dimensions space and formation aimed towards the future of time arrow. Time acts as a dimension with a discrete nature in form of the almost indistinguishable quantum of duration, which flow can be examined through the information methods. Thus, the temporal changes (including the “advanced futurization”) will be allowed to simulate and code as a specific “digital” process.

Abstract:
The relevance of this topic is defined by the new twist in worldview antagonism between religion and atheism, creationism and evolutionism, materialism and idealism, anti-scientism and scientism at the current post-secular stage of development of the Russian society. The object of this research is the correlation and interaction of heuristic capabilities of such forms of spiritual culture as science and religion. The subject is the reflection of correlation and interaction of heuristic capabilities of science and religion, as well as their role and meaning for human life and society from the perspective of such sociocultural paradigms as scientism and anti-scientism. The research methods include comparative analysis, inductive generalization, modus tollens, analogy of relations as a variety of mediated conclusion, intellectual experiment and model schemes of dimensional relations between the notions. The scientific novelty is defined by the author’s reference to the problem of correlation and interaction from the standpoint of scientism and anti-scientism, science and religion, empirical and theoretical levels of scientific cognition, technique and technologies as problematic criterion of the truth, enlightenment and education, “physical” and metaphysical questions, and capabilities of scientific worldview. One of the conclusions lies in the statement that science, due to its instrumental nature, cannot be a worldview, while scientism is such, conferring the glorified by it science a bad favor by imposing the expectations that it is not able and does not have to deliver. Due to this, the scientifically interpreted antagonism between science and religion may be re-interpreted by anti-scientism into the peaceful existence and even mutual complementarity.

Musical theater during the reign of Anna Ioannovna (1730-1740): the embodiment of ambitious plans and aesthetic preferences of the Empress

Abstract:
The article touches upon the problem of the influence of Anna Ioannovna's personal qualities on the formation of the Russian musical theater. Despite the fact that historians generally critically evaluate the results of the reign of this tsarina, her contribution to the development of Russian musical theater was significant and, according to the author, not fully appreciated. According to the researchers, it was thanks to the initiatives of Peter the Great's niece that opera seria came to Russia and reigned for many years. However, the question "was it Anna Ioannovna's merit that after her reign, in the last quarter of the XVIII century, the opera art in Russia experienced an upsurge?" was not raised. The scientific novelty of the study consists in establishing a causal relationship between the aesthetic preferences of the Empress and the musical and historical processes that led to the birth of Russian opera over several decades. The paper uses methods of analysis and synthesis of the found historical evidence, taking into account the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The main conclusions of the study are the reassessment of the historical role of Anna Ioannovna as the initiator of the development of the national musical theater. In fact, the Empress played one of the key roles in the preparation of the Russian Enlightenment. The information given in the article has practical significance and can be recommended for use in the educational process as an addition to lecture materials.

Post-truth and daily routine. To the problem of definition of the concept of “post-truth”
// Philosophy and Culture.

Abstract:
The object of this research is the popular within modern academic environment, but yet hypothetical without a precise definition, concept of “post-truth”. The subject of this research is the correlation between routine thinking and post-truth as a mode of functionality of the meaning. An attempt is made to clarify the interdependence of “post-truth” with the daily background practices. The concept of “post-truth” is based on the problematization of veracity in relation to dynamic development and expansion of communicative environment. This concept is attributed not only to political reality, but also influences the cultural, artistic and everyday life. The article indicates the key characteristics of post-truth: pluralism, fragmentation, consumer nature of truth, instrumentality, contextuality, post-publicity as an environment for people’s communication using technical means. A hypothesis is substantiated, according to which the “background expectations” as an important element of daily routine are one of the crucial conditions for functionality of meaning in the mode of post-truth. The goal of thus article consists in problematization of the concept of “post-truth” through correlation of its characteristics with the logic of routine thinking, as well as in indication of certain trends in the culture of post-truth. The relevance is justified by the need to clarify the meaning of the concept of “post-truth" for modern culture as a whole. The conclusion is made that the culture of post-truth is a more complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which is not limited by manipulations of public opinion and deception in mass media. Post-truth manifests as a condition for overcoming truth/falsehood dichotomy in the everyday life. In the culture of post-truth, emerges complete distrust in media (especially those that are considered reliable, such as documentaries). This contributes to the formation of “new truth” that rehabilitates the routine subjective experience, artistic language (post-documentary films), resulting in a so-called unveiling of total simulation through construction of individual, subjective perception in the media reality.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to present the results of a contrastive study of the ideas of male beauty among Russians and Chinese. These ideas are studied culturologically, through the restoration of the relevant fragments of national pictures of the world. For this purpose, both linguistic and comparative-historical methods are used. Russian concepts of beauty are analyzed in the corresponding concepts in the Russian language, etymology and modern meanings, Russian epics, the reign of Peter the Great, the XVIII - XIX centuries, the period of the Great October Socialist Revolution, the Stalinist period and the period of late socialism, modern ideas. To analyze the Chinese view of the subject under study, the corresponding hieroglyphs, lexical combinations, idioms, philosophical and aesthetic sources, and modern realities are analyzed. Such a multidimensional consideration of beauty in the Russian and Chinese pictures of the world caused the novelty of the study. Comparisons of Russian and Chinese are the main conclusion of the work: ideas about beauty are not just different, they are opposite. It is important to note that the image of the hero in Russian culture is a symbol of male beauty, and in Chinese, on the contrary, it is a symbol of a rude and unaesthetic person. The main oppositions are male/female, West/The East, rational/emotional — are characteristic of the Russian picture of the world, but they are not completely manifested in the Chinese ideas about beauty. The Chinese do not oppose, but combine what looks like an opposition in our culture.

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to examination of notions of "marginal", "marginality" and "marginal culture". The object of research is the socio-cultural space of a modern city. The author attempts to indicate the boundaries between the aforementioned notions, as well as determine their common features and specificity. The article reviews the causes led to emergence of the phenomenon of marginality, interrelation of marginal culture with the dominant culture alongside the phenomena of subculture and counterculture. At the same time, the author holds to an extensive view upon marginal personality that combines features inherent to various cultures. The work implies the method of “ideal types”, method of typology of cultures, as well as dialectical method, which suggested considering culture as a developing, internally contradictory, and multifaceted phenomenon. The scientific novelty consists in determination of the specific features common to marginal culture. As a result of the research, the author concludes that the concepts of "marginality", "marginal" and "marginal culture" are basically borderline and dualistic. Marginality is understood as a state of individuals who ended up in a limbo between two cultures combining their elements. They become the carriers of marginal culture, which also holds a place "at the outskirts" of dominant culture.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the existence of philosophical representations on the phenomenon of evil in antique culture and its perennial dialectical correlation with the good. This goal is achieved by interrelated solution of the following tasks: 1) determine the sources of antique philosophical perceptions of good and evil; 2) extract the essence of views of pre-Socratians, thinkers of the high classical period and certain representatives of Hellenistic philosophy upon the problems of good and evil; 3) assess the impact of antique ideas on good and evil upon the medieval philosophical views and modern philosophy. The scientific novelty consists in the first within the national historical-philosophical literature comprehensive assessment of the representations of antique philosophy upon the nature of evil. The author explores the genesis of these representations and their spiritual impact upon further development of world philosophy. Ancient Greece along with Ancient Rome, which absorbed its intellectual heritage, did not form the conceptually clear definition of evil; but the reviewed in this article philosophers, in diverse aphoristic forms of pre-philosophical knowledge and extant writings, left a number of paramount observations and reasoning that allow determining the establishment and advancement of the theory of evil in Middle Ages and Modern Age.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the project of “culture of the future” by V. N. Muravyov. It represents an attempt of unification of the “common cause” values of N. F. Fyodorov with the ideals and methods of organization of people’s activity promulgated by the Soviet State in 1920’s. The goal of the work consists in examination of the aforementioned project from the perspective of possibility of its implementation, prerequisites for oncoming “future” mentioned in the writings of V. N. Muravyov. The author analyzes the strong and weak aspects of the project and compares them with modernity. Based on the materials to the work “Culture of the Future” alongside other compilations of the philosopher, the author restores the project of transformation of culture compared to its status at the present stage. Similar research of V. N. Muryavyov’s project of culture have not been previously conducted. The author notes maintenance of the interest towards some ideas of the project that undergone transformation in modern research, for example, an attempt to overcome human life and pursuit of a possibility for achieving immortality. Complete realization of the project in author’s version does not seem possible; the necessity of the suggested changes in culture is in doubt.

Abstract:
Issues of style in art are fundamental issues of modern aesthetics, since style is put forward in a number of main categories of art, acting as a principle of the organization of aesthetic form. It is no coincidence that over the past century, the attention of numerous researchers has been drawn to the XVII century - the beginning of the history of aesthetics of modern times, in which, perhaps, the root of modern problems lies. In this respect, the XVII century seems to be the most grateful material for a discussion about style, since in the XVII century great styles arise that will develop and transform in the following centuries and will determine the development of art for many decades - classicism and Baroque. Since the 30s of the XX century, in studies devoted to the study of literature and art of the XVII century, a departure from the theory of classicism of the XIX century is planned. The first stage of this turn is the study of the creativity of the "pillars of classicism", which demonstrated that it has nothing to do with hierarchized academicism and reverence for norms. The desire to please the public, which was initially perceived as the main paradox in the theory of classicism, is further formulated by researchers as the presence of a different aesthetic.
The next stage - the term "classicism" itself is criticized as late, evaluative, giving this era the meaning of the absolute. As a result, many researchers come to the conclusion that in France of the XVII century there was no literary and aesthetic doctrine as a single and "classical" one.
Finally, the third stage of the study - the appeal to a single anthropo-socio-cultural concept of history, the use of sociological methods to highlight the gallant ethos allows us to conclude that classicism is a phenomenon in the field of art, gallantry is not only an artistic phenomenon, but also a social one.

Abstract:
The subject of this article is the modernity that is perceived as an immanent experience by a subject of its time, reflection over it, and creation in current temporality of the new symbolic space (the “big Other” in terminology of J. Lacan and S. Žižek). At the same time, the new symbolic register is created through the polylogue of subjects that interact on the temporal-rhizome platform in accordance with Theory of Communicative Action (J. Habermas). The object of this work is the subject of modernity – an attempt to provide its essential characteristics. The main conclusion of the conducted research lies in a particular view of modernity and subject of modernity. Thus, it is suggested to understand modernity as a situation, in which a subject faces the problematic of its own being and is obligated to give certain “answers” to the “challenges” before him, leaning on the resources of cogito and polylogue with other subjects. A subject is suggested to be considered a social actor with the following characteristics: ability to transformation (construction and reconstruction) of the symbolic order (J. Lacan), solid ethical position (ethics in understanding of I. Kant and ethical stage of S. Kierkegaard), pursuing the particular self-practices (M. Foucault), creativeness (utopic project as a version of the future structure), and intersubjectivity (existential polylogue between the subjects on the established polyfocal platform. However, it is implied to distinguish a subject from an individual and personality, depicting it as a highest stage of human evolution, at which he creates culture in cooperation with others.

Abstract:
Modern Age rejected the representation about God as an embodiment of Light. The Mind has become its carrier, which taking the form of Enlightenment and Progress, gave humanity great good. And brought threats. In the criticism of mind, the continued importance belongs to the work of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno “Dialectic of Enlightenment”. Even after the 70 years period their ideas remain relevant, and the instrumental rationality translated into the technologization of all spheres of life. The author analyzes the attempts of J. Habermas to reconcile the rationality of modernism and communicativeness of postmodernism. Using the method of creative thinking, which besides the logical abstractions includes intuition and graphic analogies, is criticized the identification of communication with generalization, when the ontologized communication dominates even the rationality. Having become a substance, the communication transforms into commutation and leads to the suppression of material being as a “dark form” of human reality. The victory of communicationism will imply the “end of light” (ours), its replacement by the information and virtual (trans=ultra=hyper=light) form of otherness. The slowly impeding Apocalypses of the world as a process of its technological globalization is most adequately expressed in the concept – the Judgment Day.

Abstract:
This article examines the question of moral justification of the use of genetic modification technologies of human embryos and gametes. Recent experiments in China on the genetic modification of embryos to make children’s cells resistant to human immunodeficiency virus, cholera and pox, made this problem extremely relevant and extensively discussed in the society. The author cites arguments, made by the scholars and philosophers for and against allowability of genetic modification. It is emphasized that the scholars in the area of medical and biological sciences fear of causing harm to the health of future genetically modified people, while the philosophers are concerned with other problems. The problem of limiting autonomy is one of the most debatable within the framework of philosophy. For illustrating the arguments, the author presents the materials from the history of science, recent developments in editing on human embryos and gametes, philosophical insights and international documents. Having analyzes the arguments of the parties, the author comes to the conclusion that the genetic modification of human embryos and gametes should not be prohibited, although as any other technology, this one can carry advantages and disadvantages; as well as the implementation of such technology is capable of changing social practices (slippery slope argument). In some circumstances it is necessary to restrict the application of these technologies. The author suggest the basic principles of using such types of technologies.

Abstract:
The subject of this study is the image of ethnopolitical Other framed on the Internet. The author formulates a hypothesis that the image of the Other is structured as a combination of various markers, which can be united into four groups of patterns: alimentarism, vestigency, sexuality, and ethnopolitical aspect. While the virtual space of the modern Internet and its byproducts (social networks, forums, search engines) aptly accumulate in themselves, and like a litmus test, reveals certain markers of designing the image of ethnopolitical Other. Research methodology leans on the theoretical basis of structuralism reflected in the works of the prominent ethnologist C. Lévi-Strauss, as well as includes the methods of Internet data collection, compilation of correlation matrix, calculation of Pearson correlation coefficient for each of the structural markers, and identification of the strongest correlation links between these markers. For designing, structuring and classification of the models of Ethnopolitical Other, the author applies visualization of correlation links between markers on a plane. The main conclusions consists in the following: identification of the basic general models of otherness in accordance with the obtained structural markers of the Other; determination of the three important independent models: Americans, Chinese, Ukrainians with high level of alert (alert-aggressive); majority of the models of the Other, related to the ethnoses of former Soviet republics, have common structural markers from various groups. The conducted research suggests the new method of modeling of the image of Other, also aimed at identification and understanding of certain negative sides of these processes.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the plays of Konstantin Bogomolov, which most representatively for the modern Russian theatre and works of the produces feature the usage of the close-ups on screen. The author sets the goal to determine the main close-up effects on the example of such plays of Konstantin Bogomolov as “Boris Godunov” (Lenkom Theatre, artist L. Lomakina, 2014), “Karamazovy” (Moscow Art Theatre, artist L. Lomakina, 2013), “The Magic Mountain” (Stanislavsky Electrotheatre, 2017), and other. The article applies the theoretical-analytical and cultural-historical approaches; the foundation for this research is theatre studies methodology, complemented by methods from the field of film studies, medialogy, and art history. Comprehension of close-up effects in the Russian modern theatre becomes relevant, since the contextual boundaries of the emergence of close-ups in the 1930’s have significantly expanded. For example, close-ups on the screen in the plays of Konstantin Bogomolov often originate as a parody to the modern TV formats and genres, and invokes the mechanism of critical understanding of critical reality among the viewers, imposed on them through television screens, smartphones and computers. Konstantin Bogomolov stands for the natural role-playing, thus the close-ups release the actors from overacting and active gesticulation in order to deliver emotions to the last rows of the large theatre halls. Close-ups in Bogomolov’s theatre also become an element of multilevel montage scenic composition, where new plots are formed in intersection of vocalized text, action on stage, and the on-screen visuals.

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to the relevant question of modern civilization – the interpersonal communication. The problem of interrelationship of “I” and “You” acquired its philosophical understanding in European philosophy of the early XX century. However, the philosophical heritage of Russian thinkers remained unclaimed until present day. The doctrine of the Russian philosopher Semyon Lyudvigovich Frank was one of the original versions for resolving the problem of correlation between the single personality and spiritual integrity of the society. The article reveals the philosophical-methodological value of the category of “us”, conducts analysis of various layers of social life, as well as demonstrates the antinomic nature of interrelationship between “I”, “you”, and “us”. The authors also determine the differences between the external and internal layers of social relations, reveal the ethical meaning of social interaction, and provide philosophical analysis of the ambivalence of communication alongside the multiplicity of types of the highlighted by S. L. Frank types of human communication. The work applies axiological analysis that allows identifying the value peculiarities of the Russian philosopher upon the key factors of the problem of communication. The authors underline the crucial differences between the European and Russian traditions of analysis of the problem of communication, and note that there is a need for the integral and extensive philosophical examination of such complicated phenomenon, which will consider the synthesis of a distinct Western and Eastern experience of the analysis of problem of communication, as well as the imperative specificity of achievements of the Russian philosophy of communication that are relevant and require further research.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the problem of ontological status of the freedom of will. Major attention is given to the question of the existence of metaphysical freedom of will. The author examines the impact upon solving the issue of the existence of metaphysical freedom of will produced by the gained currency in modern philosophy method of substantiation of the freedom of will, associated with understanding of the freedom of will as freedom essential for moral responsibility. An attempt is made to clarify is such method is capable of affecting the solution of the problem of ontological status of the freedom of will. It is suggested to use the strategy of the burden of proof in the context and with consideration of peculiarities inherent to the category of metaphysical freedom of will. The author formulates the basic principles and criteria that the coherent in theoretical-methodological aspect solution of this problem must correspond with. The article introduces the concepts of the objective realism, objective perspective of consideration of human, postponed in time perceptive from the first person perspective, and postponed in time facts. The significance of such characteristic of human as death is determined as peculiar for solution of the question of metaphysical freedom of will in theoretical-methodological regard. The author demonstrates the heuristic meaning of representation on the postponed in time facts for solution of the issue on the existence of soul and possible ways of understanding the moral responsibility; as well as indicates the possibility of using of the ontology of singular things as the alternative to physicalist ontology in solving this question. A conclusion is made that the perception of the existence of metaphysical freedom of will should not be considered as one that has lost its theoretical significance.

Abstract:
This article examines the milestones in the development of cinematography as a phenomenon in Bashkortostan. The author traces the path from the emergence of very first films to the present state of local film production in the republic. Research methodology leans on the methods of systematization and analysis of scientific literature, written and cinematographic sources, historical-typological (analysis of the historical and cultural grounds of Bashkir cinematography), interpretation of written and cinematographic material. The peculiarities of the establishment and development of Bashkir cinematography are revealed. The theoretical importance of this article lies in systematization of knowledge and description of the ethnocultural characteristics of the development of cinematography in the context of Bashkir cultural field. Cultural tradition as an example that is being reflexively used by people within the framework of a particular culture for solution of life tasks underlies the national cinematography. The models of lifestyle and perception of the world in a given cultural era are realized in the national cinematographic works and represent cultural paradigm of the nation. The author notes the ethnic peculiarities of the development of the phenomenon of cinematography in the region. Prevalence of the elements of traditional national culture (plotlines and images) in the films determines the peculiar nature of Bashkir cinematography and impacts the ethnocultural identity of the recipient. The scientific novelty lies in revealing the historiographical and culturological aspects of Bashkir cinematographic works, as well as outlining its role in modern art culture. The study was conducted on the basis of semiotic and interpretational methods of art history analysis.

Abstract:
. The purpose of this article is to analyze the specifics of the mythologizing of time in the historical period dramas "Downton Abbey" and "The Crown" in the context of the transition from the postmodern paradigm to a new metamodern sensibility. The article summarizes the experience of domestic and foreign studies of the metamodern tendencies of the modern TV series and analyzes the theoretical issues of the mythological temporality of TV series production. On the basis of the theoretical concept of retrotopia by Z. Bauman, the concept of layers of cinematic temporality by N.E. Marievskaya and the critical discourse analysis of S. Jäger, the features of the mythologization of horizontal, vertical time, as well as the biographical time of characters in selected period dramas have been analyzed. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the problematization and analysis of the discursive environment of the deployment of the temporal mythology of the modern period drama. The modern historical period drama demonstrates the specifics of turning to retrotopia, as it seeks to represent the current problems of the present through an imaginary past. In the case of the “Downton Abbey”, this happens through the harmonization in the viewer's mind of nostalgia for an imaginary English aristocratic past and an unstable future. In the case of the “The Crown”, the presentation of the private life of the British royal family against the backdrop of historical events contributes to the formation of a more multidimensional image of the present and responds to the demands of the mass audience in the emotional representation of historical events. The result of this representation is a kind of mythology of time, which arises between the cultural demand for retrotopia and the development of modern technologies for the production of cinematographic products, which makes it possible to fully realize the intention of modern metamodernist discourse to achieve a “new sensibility”. This allows us to consider the modern historical period drama not only as a "commercial project", but also as a tool for the development of historical culture, an instrument of cultural orientation in social space and time.

Abstract:
The subject of this study is the special theory of relativity (SRT) by A. Einstein, the debate about which has been going on for more than a hundred years. The aim of the study is to evaluate SRT from the side of whether everything that is discussed in this theory and thus in the new, relativistic physics is possible in nature itself. At the same time, the author pays special attention to three issues: the principle of relativity, the necessary condition for the objectivity of the content of scientific theories and the Einstein style of scientific thinking, which predetermined the ideological component of SRT and all relativistic physics. But such issues as relativistic reductions of lengths and durations, the relativity of simultaneity and a single space-time do not remain without attention. The study revealed the fallacy of a long-standing and widespread opinion about the relativity of properties. The necessary condition for the objectivity of scientific theories is revealed. The natural form of expression of quantities is revealed and the non-relative nature of all natural quantities is shown. The hidden form of relativity inherent in the SRT postulate about the constancy of the speed of light in all inertial reference frames and extended in SRT to the magnitude of all lengths and durations considered in it is revealed. It is shown that such relativity is based on the dependence of the quantities on the choice of their reflection systems. It is shown that such dependence is impossible in nature itself. It is concluded that the SRT is erroneous. At the same time, the factors that served as favorable ground for the emergence and spread of this erroneous theory are listed.

Abstract:
This article examines the universal and private justice. Private justice is the share of juridical, economic, and other sciences, while general justice is the problem of philosophy. The subject of this research is the principles of justice, which reflect the characteristics of the universal justice. The author suggest a comparative analysis of the conceptual and procedural principles of justice. Understanding of the principles of justice finds its reflection from the perspective of ontological and deontological approaches. In first case, the principles of justice are perceived as the justice itself, and thus are viewed as the highest value and public welfare. In second case, the principles of justice can be viewed as the granted, in other words, not as justice itself, but rather the means that lead to it. The method of this research lies in reflection in form of analysis of the notion of “principles of justice”, as well as comparative analysis of the conceptual and procedural principles of justice. Comparing the procedural and conceptual principles of justice, the first seems more proper, because it gives a chance to everybody to take part in achievement of justice; in addition to that, the procedural principles of justice are considered to be more organically connected with the development of society, and do not push it.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the analysis of correlation between Soviet design, including industrial design, textile, architecture, and the idea of projection of a new individual in the context of his perception through the figurative world. The author reveals this topic trough referring to the analysis of evolution of the figurative world. Specificity of this research consists in the examination of design traits in USSR not only in the context of peculiarities of the country’s political and economic development, but also the ideas that affected their emergence. The object of this work is the avant-garde art, which generates the industrial design. Methodology is based on the on the historical-philosophical analysis on one hand, and comparative analysis on the other. Author’s special contribution into this research lies in conduction of cross-disciplinary analysis regarding the formation of the Soviet design, which proves that unlike the foreign design that has emerged with the industrial development, the appearance of design in Russia is directly associated with the avant-garde art. The main conclusion is the consideration of question of why the project of a “new individual” did not see practical implementation, as well as the progressive ideas of Soviet design had not been realized in industrial sector.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the cultural code of Judaism in the visual semiosis of the Crimea. The object of the study is the traditional symbolism in the decor of the Jews of the Crimea: Ashkenazi Jews, Karaites and Krymchaks. The article uses the methods of cultural (semiotic, ontological and hermeneutic) analysis in the continuum of signs of the traditional Jewish semiosis, the idiographic method in the concept of the totality of signs, the method of analysis of previous studies, the method of synthesis in substantiating the morphology of signs. The following aspects of the topic are considered in the study: five main codes of Jewish culture are identified, their morphology and interrelationships are substantiated, as well as key meanings and the main central code. The main conclusions of the study are:
1. The multiethnic landscape of Crimea is made up of the cultures of numerous ethnic groups. The main feature of the identification and self-identification of cultures is religion. The Jews of Crimea include Ashkenazi Jews, Karaites and Crimeans. A single source for cultural codes in the Jewish semiosis is the Torah (the Mosaic Pentateuch) for all three ethnic groups, and for two of them (Jews and Krymchaks), the interpretation of the Torah is also the Talmud.
2. Based on the studied material, five main codes of the Jewish visual semiosis of the Crimea are identified, each of which unites a certain group of symbols: skewomorphic, phytomorphic, zoomorphic, numeric. The unifying code and the primary source of all codes is the code Book (Torah). The interrelationships between the codes, the key meanings – symbols of Creation, Paradise, Torah persons and Messianic aspirations are revealed. The semantic center of all codes is the repository of the Torah – Aron Hakodesh, and the Torah itself. Thus, the ring pattern "from Torah to Torah" is revealed.
3. A special contribution to the research of the topic is the systematization of the cultural codes of the Jewish semiosis of the Crimea.
The scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time a culturological analysis was carried out and the interrelationships of cultural codes in the visual semiosis of the Crimea were structured.

Abstract:
This article examines the question of interrelation of the cultural policy with political culture in methodological aspect. Particular attention is given to the circumstance that being a part of political culture, perceived as an acquired by humanity experience of creative solution to the problems of communication and interaction between the subjects of cultural creativity, the cultural policy manifests as the means of achieving the goal indicated above. It is essential to follow these problems in our controversial time, when the entrenched within the social practice economic globalization, requires the search for adequate forms of its universal general cultural realization, capable of simultaneously keeping the distinctness of the separate ethnic cultures. Methodology of the research suggests necessary immersion into the history of political culture that actualizes its lessons. The illustrative material applies the current situation in the Western world, as well as globalization processes of regional character in the Ancient Eastern culture. The author attempts to not only provide the theoretical formulations, but also connect the conceptual assumptions with the actual modern practice, particularly with such tasks as the globalization and modernization of various ethnic cultures within the currently necessary and available limits.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the figurative and symbolic reflection and transformation of the dynamic reality of life in the cinematic space of modern culture. The purpose of the work is to identify and substantiate trends in the development of cinematographic cultural texts based on the figurative and symbolic representation of the phenomenon of success in the existential space of human existence. The scientific novelty of the work is represented by the evidence base of the study, which determines the figurative correspondence of the philosophical and sociological representation of cinematic texts to the phenomenon of success as a value-symbolic aspect of personal activity. Based on the analysis of cinema screen products created at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries and devoted to the characterization of the image of a subject whose existential level of being is characterized in the symbols of success/ failure, several trends in the development of cinematic culture can be identified. Firstly, the characteristic of the "sunset" of the previously dominant ideological trend of symbolization of the actual phenomenology of success. Secondly, the stage of axiological instability and ambivalence in the evaluation of the symbols of success, unevenly implemented in the scenario and staging part. And, thirdly, the formation and consolidation of new cinematic paradigms through the constant convergence of private symbols of success, manifested in different ways both in reality and on the cinema screen, and accompanied by constant attempts at their non-contextual universalization.

Abstract:
This article examines the formation of a new environmental culture that promotes a positive spiritual transformation of the individual. The analysis of the environmental culture in China shows that in the center of the eco-ethical system of Confucianism is a social person, follower of environmentally moral behavior. China’s future is impossible without sustainable development of society, where positive environmental imperatives play a serious role. This paper shows the role of the Chinese leadership in the formation of a new radical and global policy that has new challenges for social thinking, the problems of environmental development of society and a new environmental strategy. The findings suggest that the problem of getting out of the environmental crisis can be solved through formation of environmental culture, as it includes all the material and spiritual values created by humanity in the process of socio-natural interactions.

Abstract:
The object of this research is the modern digital society as a new civilizational level in development of humanity. The subject of this research is the evolution of ethical values and principles in the context of transition from postindustrial stage to information society, as well as ethical aspect of implementation of digital technologies and artificial intelligence systems into the realm of social management. The article familiarizes the audience with the Chinese system of social score – the largest social experiment on the basis of digital technologies, as well as with the trends and prospects of digitalization process in modern Russia. Having analyzed the national and foreign experience, the author demonstrates the risks of hurried implementation of digital solutions based on artificial intelligence without extensive ethical examination, point out the contradiction between scientific-technological and economic freedom, and the need for limiting these freedoms for the sake of human welfare. The conclusion is made that despite all advantages, digital technologies bear the risks of unethical usage of personal data and violation of privacy. Turning data into the product as a means for gaining profit, difficulties of legal regulation and control thereof, makes a human extremely vulnerable in the new digital world. Therefore, in the process of collection and processing of data, as well as in creation of robotic systems based on artificial intelligence, it is essential to adequately assess the risks and formulate ethical restrictions, which should be taken into account in their design and exploitation.

Abstract:
This article presents the results of a preliminary multidisciplinary research of the specificities of youth’s response to various descriptors. Using the semiotic, in-depth psychological, theological and mathematical analysis of the collected associative chains, the author compares the responses of youth representatives to religious and ethical terms with colloquial lexemes, as well as determines sensitivity to these terms and proclivity for their logical and sensory-emotional perception. Particularly, method of semantic multiplication allows identifying strong and weak descriptors of semiosis under consideration. The author determines the trends that outline a number of structural and psychodynamic characteristics of psychic reality of modern Russian youth. The following conclusions were made in the course of this research:
1. Sensitivity (and corresponding awareness) to religious descriptors was demonstrated by less than half of the respondents, and a fifth of the entire sample of terms appeared to be unfamiliar to the respondents;
2. The analysis of ethical associative chains at the level of interpretation, indicated the existence of such a phenomenon as “indeterminate religiosity”, which implies a certain spiritual pursuit, which at the moment does not comply with the familiar to a respondent religions traditions;
3. The acquired data, on the one hand, correspond to the classic “Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs”, while on the other hand, spiritual pursuit of respondents and simultaneously scarce character of “existential” associations may testify in favor of the dominance of “ethical-spiritual” paradigm in psychic reality of respondents (which also complies with the Maslow’s research of later period in the area of “existential needs” and “peak experiences”;
4. All of the aforementioned means that the key to interaction with modern youth (including didactical and educational) is the paradigm of ethical values, which can also be connected with a latent spiritual pursuit.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the ontological nature of the phenomenon of creativity in the context of conceptual constructions of the most important nominal layers of non-classical philosophy. The aim of the work is to reveal the ontological essence of creativity in the context of European philosophy of the XIX–XX centuries based on the works of A. Schopenhauer, A. Bergson, J.-P. Sartre, A. Camus and M. Heidegger. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the works of representatives of the non-classical period of the development of philosophical thought, as well as the works of modern domestic and foreign researchers, in their works directly or indirectly touching on the problem of the ontological determinant of creativity. The central research methods are comparative and complex methods for establishing connections and relationships between phenomena that are part of the sphere of creative being, as well as an analytical and interpretive method for analyzing existing interpretations of the phenomenon under study and presenting the author's position. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the identification and systematization of philosophical ideas regarding the ontological determinant of creativity in the conceptual field of Western European non–classical philosophy of the XIX-XX centuries. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that within the framework of non-classical philosophy, the ontological nature of creativity is revealed both at the level of objective reality (generation and change of existing being) and in the existential-personal space of the subject (self-creation and self-transcending through the implementation of irrational-volitional intentions and life-meaning orientations). Unlike the classical tradition of philosophizing, which absolutizes the epistemological component of the subject's creativity, in the subject field of non-classical philosophy, creativity regains its ontological rootedness, since it acts as the general existential of human existence, revealing itself through the prism of such concepts as the Will to live, pure duration, creative evolution, Vital impulse, imaginative consciousness, rebellion against the absurd, the promotion of truth and the way out of inauthenticity.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the immersive artistic environments that exist in the modern cultural space. Immersive technologies are used today in educational processes, historical reconstruction, various forms of socialization, in visual arts; immersion is implemented as a special scientific approach in anthropological, ethnographic, art history studies. Interactivity and immersiveness are considered here as complex predictable processes whose algorithms are embedded in the very basis of an artistic work or cultural environment. They make it possible to intensify the entire spectrum of sensory-emotional perception, creating not only a new type of artwork, but also a new type of recipient immersed in the process of unfolding an artistic plot. The classification of functions of immersive spaces is proposed in the study. On the example of Russian and foreign art projects, the essential signs and features of immersive art are analyzed and identified. Immersive projects implemented in recent years are considered on the example of the cultural field of the north-west of Russia, as well as a comparative analysis of foreign and domestic events is carried out. The study concluded that immersive environments have both positive and negative potential: a complex effect on human feelings using special technological techniques that affect perception can lead to both the effect of complete immersion and catharsis, and to destructive hyperstimulation of the psyche. And the artistic immersions themselves are more a form of media communication than finished works.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the socio-cultural threats to the information security of Russian citizens associated with ChatGPT technologies (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, a machine-generated text response generator simulating a dialogue). The object of research − evaluation of the ratio of advantages and threats of generative language models based on "machine learning" in modern (2021-2023) scientific literature (journals HAC K1, K2 and Scopus Q1, Q2). The scientific novelty of the research lies in the culturological approach to the analysis of threats to the security of Russian citizens associated with the use of ChatGPT as one of the technologies of "artificial intelligence". The formulation of the problem of the classical Turing test "to distinguish a person from a machine" is characterized as a scholastic abstraction, instead a more correct and productive approach is proposed: a socio-cultural assessment of the value (based on cultural axiology) of new computer technologies. The starting point of the analysis is the determination of socio-cultural value (or, conversely, damage) as a result of the use of generative language models based on machine learning. Further, the contribution and responsibility of various socio-cultural subjects of its creation and application are revealed − user, creator and developer. The result of the application of the proposed approach is the deconstruction of the discourse of the "philosophy of artificial intelligence" in terms of uncritical translation of developer declarations intended for marketing and attracting financing. Hypertrophied perception, precariously balancing on the edge of utopia and dystopia, is assessed as a risk of incorrect identification and ranking of threats to information security. Assumptions about the hypothetical "superweapon of psychological warfare" mask modern incidents of cross-border leakage of confidential data, the risks of being held accountable for publishing deliberately false information and illegal content as a result of using ChatGPT. National security measures are recommended, including restrictive measures and increasing the general civil culture of information security of users, as well as the orientation of domestic developments of solutions of this type on traditional values, socio-cultural identity and interests of Russian citizens.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the establishment of substrate-attributive model of the information substrate of information culture. The object is the information culture as a sociocultural phenomenon. The work substantiates the idea that information culture has an information substrate, represented in three elements: civil, social, and anthropological; information, sociality, values, norms, traditions, subjectivity, objectivity, and virtuality are considered its attributes; the generic diversity of information culture determines its modes. This work is continuation of research of the phenomenon of information culture in the articles of the scientific journals "Philosophical Thought" and "Conflict Studies" of the Nota Bene publisher. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the author substantiated the necessity and possibility for establishing a substrate-attributive model of the nature of information culture, which allows defining its basic structural elements, properties, specificity, as well as reveals the factors and mechanisms of origination and development of such sociocultural phenomenon. The conducted research will be valuable in further examination of the impact of information culture upon the transformation of generic qualities of a person: consciousness, activity, communication, and language in the conditions of evolvement of the information society.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the concept of ultimate ontology and the mechanism of its projection upon reality. The article consists of two thematic parts: the first analyzes the general cultural processes of the establishment of ultimate ontology and worldview, while the second traces the evolution of representations of the reality and ultimate ontology in the Moscow Methodological Circle. The article discusses the example of representation of nature, which fulfills the functions of ultimate ontology and worldview of the European Art Nouveau. Leaning on the personal research, the author outlines the following stages of the establishment of ultimate ontology: construction of narratives (i.e., initially these were schemes only, and thus, virtual semantic reality); perception and proliferation of these narratives (acquisition in the course of communication); practicing the acquired narratives (schemes) with behavioral transformations of the individuals; functioning of the new social reality, including its examination, and in some instances, attempts to make changes therein, Not every ultimate ontology is recognized in culture as the worldview, it pertains only to such that allows explicating the practices (including epistemic), which determine the core processes of functionality and development of the culture. The article also offers a reconstruction of the history of the Moscow Methodological Circle, which with time has replaced the three ultimate ontologies – attitude, activity, and mental activity. In the first two cases, these ontologies were suggested for the role of the worldviews (namely the category of activity); in the third case, G. P. Shchedrovitsky, who created the scheme of mental activity, for the most part considered it as a method of configuration of other methodological schemes, rather than a unified ontological reality. The article explores the reasons that impeded Shchedrovitsky and the members of the Moscow Methodological Circle to comprehend the essence of thinking, forgo the interpretation of the worldview as an activity, and shift towards the development of the theory of mental activity.

Abstract:
The article discusses the features of interaction and mutual influence of the art of woodcut of China and the USSR. Chinese woodcut and Soviet engraving reveal the greatest mutual influence and rich genre palette in the middle of the XX century. Chinese woodcut gave a creative impulse, enriched the visual possibilities, brought new ideas to the Soviet art of woodcut. It served as an impetus for the rise of graphics, which realized and asserted its specificity. In this regard, it seems relevant to identify common features of Chinese woodcut and Soviet engraving of the mid-20th century, as well as to identify differences in the development of this art form in the two countries. The article analyzes the works of famous woodcuts of two countries: Chen Yanqiao, Yang Han, Qi Baishi, V. A. Favorsky, A. A. Ushin. As a result of the analysis, the common features of Chinese woodcut and Soviet engraving of the mid-20th century were revealed, for example, similar plots and themes, as well as a special dynamic, lively and pulsating rhythm of the works. In addition, differences in the development of this type of art in both countries have been established, largely due to the preservation of their own national style by graphic artists. It is claimed that Soviet graphics contributed to the variety of Chinese woodcuts. In turn, Soviet artists adopted the subtleties of filigree technique from Chinese woodcuts.

Abstract:
The article considers the socio-philosophical prerequisites of modern media ecology. It is shown that, since media ecology as a scientific discipline was created and substantiated within the framework of social and philosophical representations of the largest representative of the Toronto School of Communications - Marshall McLuhan, - its instruments still bear the stamp of the philosopher's basic views. Even though many modern researchers working within this discipline do not share the McLuhan concept and polemic with him on a number of key issues in the theory of communications, the very research prospect of media ecology has a direct impact on their work. The article analyzes the materials of current publications on media ecology for the existence of theoretical problems related to the conceptual justification of the discipline toolkit.Among the most significant philosophical preconditions of media ecology stand out: the concept of historicism, as an assumption of the existence of an objective sense of history and the possibility of its comprehension; the concept of social realism, as an assumption of the existence of social groups as independent entities; the concept of technological determinism, as the assumption that technology has a direct mechanistic effect on society; and the concept of unifying the effect of the media, as the assumption that the medium of communication affects the entire social space in the same way.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the process of social adaptation and methods of its examination within the educational environment. The author provides definition to the process of social adaptation as an active relationship of man and social environment aimed at resolving the emerging contradictions between them, which results it evolution and establishment of man as a social being. The article defines the structure of social adaptation, highlighting the three key components: adaptation resources, adaptive behavioral strategies, adaptedness (result of adaptation). The conclusion is made about the application of structural approach towards examination of the process of social adaptation as the study of peculiarities of each indicated component. The author underlines that the methodological frame of philosophical comprehension of social adaptation of personality in the context of education system can imply the understanding of such process in unity of its three key components – stages: adaptivity as combination of personal resources necessary and sufficient for solving the problem situation; adaptive strategy as a selection of trajectory for specific activity on solving the issue; and adaptedness as a result of adaptation that can be assessed in accordance with the objective (compliance with the requirements of social environment) and subjective (internal contentment) criteria.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to clarify the aesthetic concept of color perception from the phenomenological reasoning of Edmund Husserl. Today, the orientation diagram of the field of phenomenological research is formed in various zones: from theological to naturalistic. In which of these zones the structures of the phenomenological analysis of color are located is not an easy question. The coloristic region is constituted according to the degree of consciousness, including aesthetic consciousness. It is extremely difficult to meet with the phenomenon of color, if only because its obviousness is fulfilled only by the fervor of the contemplative consciousness with its aesthetic pathos, a consciousness that distinguishes between, as it were, the reality of transcendent color and the aesthetic "continent of givens". We are talking, as Husserl would say, about the halo of consciousness, referring to the essence of perception performed in the mode of turning to the beauty of color. For the first time, approaches to the study of such a complex phenomenological topic as the description of a coloristic attitude, the eidetics of color experiences in Husserl's philosophy are outlined, the significance of its development for the comprehension of aesthetic and artistic consciousness is revealed.
The main conclusions of the study are related to the philosophical interpretation of the idea of color as included in phenomenology in the experience of philosophical surprise, which turns into the acquisition of the essence of "phenomenological color" in general, and in aesthetics it is directly correlated with the appearance of its structures on the horizon of the harmonic synthesis of acts of perceptual performance in the imagination, "primordial giving visions" of color, with the creation of a picture coloristic impressions as cognitive emotions, reduced pure color perception, with an understanding of how art makes the very conditions of color visibility obvious, how its artistic synthesis is made, in the structure of which correlation analysis can see an analogue of a priori empiricism – this fundamental characteristic of purely Husserl synthesis and method revealed in domestic studies.

Russian melancholy and Korean Han: in pursuit of beauty

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to the question of understanding of “melancholic” beauty in different cultures. The object of this research is the influence of the idea of melancholy upon comprehension of beauty in the Russian and Korean cultures. Having defined and compared “melancholy” and beauty in Korea and Russia, the author attempts to determine the specificity of “melancholic beauty” in both cultures, primarily, in Russian. Methodological foundation is the methods of comparison and ethnolinguistics that allow viewing culture based on “keywords”. First, the article provides definition to “melancholy”. If Russian melancholy is the feeling of “narrowness of the expanse” and “feeling abandoned by God”, the Korean Han is an “unrealized desire” that appears as a result of constraints or misery. Both, Russian melancholy and Korean Han contain the sense of hope; they are also similar in overcoming through creation. Then, the article explores the impact of the sense of “melancholy” upon the perception of beauty in both cultures. The conclusion is made that in Russian “melancholic” beauty, the “sadness of blank background” is usually balanced with the ornamental images that serve as a “pillar in the blankness”. The Korean “improper beauty” of meot – is the beauty of flow, rhythm and its disturbance (therefore, traditionally it is not associated with color). The feeling of Han in beauty of meot is balanced by joy of Jeong. Thus, the meot objects contain senses of both, irony and melancholy.

How does the historical forgiveness work? Historical guilt and historical responsibility as a subject of philosophical realization

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the modern philosophical conceptualization of the notions of “historical guilt”, “historical responsibility” and “historical forgiveness”. On the works of Paul Ricœur, Aleida Assmann, Hans Jonas the authors analyze the logical content and volume of these notions, as well as their correlation with such notions as “historical memory”, “historical consciousness” and “nation”. The article is based on the comparison of the Russian and German contexts of rethinking the historical experience. Analysis is conducted on the key aspects of the problematic of historical forgiveness. Results of the use of comparative method of research are applied to allow juxtaposing various interpretations of the notions of “historical guilt” and “historical responsibility”, as well as determining their logical content and volume. The novelty of this research consists in substantiation of the need for further philosophical interpretation of the problem of historical forgiveness. It was discovered that the content and volume of the notions of “historical guilt” and “historical responsibility” demonstrate a vivid trend towards expansion, which is related not only with reevaluation of modern philosophy of such notions as fear, desecration and repentance, but also refers to the notions of “nation” and “historical memory”. The concept of “nation” cannot serve as a reliable foundation for the historical memory, as well as historical reflection. The past should be evaluated leaning not on the national interests, but ethical criteria. The authors determine the specificity of the interpretation of historical guilt and historical responsibility within the framework of antagonistic, cosmopolitan and agnostic modes of functionality of historical memory. The author substantiates the importance of the role of historical consciousness within the discourse of historical responsibility, demonstrating the need to transition from ethics of persuasion towards ethics of responsibility in the process of analyzing modern forms of historical forgiveness.

Historiography of the Genesis of the Pentecostal Movement: Early and Recent Research Directions in English-language Literature

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to identify early and recent Pentecostal studies in the West and to highlight the main difference between them. Today there are more than 250 million Pentecostals in the world, and together with the charismatic movement there are more than 500 million. Having begun to spread in the 20th century, the movement claims to be the fastest growing religious phenomenon in human history. In attempts to interpret the phenomenon of the movement's growth, there have been several gradually emerging approaches: explaining the origin of the movement as supernaturally "coming from heaven"; searching for the origins of Pentecostalism in other Christian movements; presenting the emergence of the movement as the result of social and psychological factors such as poverty, marginalization, and the desire to escape from modern society; and the multicultural approach. The paper analyzes the works of Western historians and theologians of Pentecostalism since the second half of the 20th century. The result shows a turning point between early and late studies, namely that late studies aim to revise the history and include participants in the movement around the world, not just in North America, explore the contribution to the development of the movement of local ministers who have long remained in the shadow of Western missionaries, emphasize the diversity of ideologies and social influences that have shaped the movement. It also highlights three major contemporary areas of research: historical, characterized by studies of Pentecostalism in Asia, Africa, and Latin America; theological, focusing on the development and shaping of theoretical theology as a result of the movement's institutionalization; and religious studies, practiced primarily from the perspective of the sociology of religion.

Abstract:
Throughout the 20th century, the theory and history of performing arts repeatedly attempted to systematize various phenomena in the field of interpretation of works of academic music. The number of performing styles and types in various researches has risen dramatically, until the beginning of this century when it was reduced to a single concept - to the category of an individual style. This topic was discussed mainly in research papers devoted to the theory of pianism. The results of their observations and conclusions can be applied to the performing arts in general. The article mentions the works of K.A. Martinsen, D.A. Rabinovich, V.P. Chinaeva, A.V. Malinkovskaya and others. The topic of musical perception is addressed both in musicology and in musical psychology. This research offers a new vector for studying of musical perception, linking the features of musical imagery created by the performer and the nature of perception. The following aspects are revelated: patterns that allow us to talk about the types of musical image, the principles of its construction and the types of perception. This is an affective image created on the principle of contrast. It corresponds to the psychophysical type of perception. The contextual image is guided by the principle of connections. It corresponds to the aesthetic type of perception. The integrative image is formed, focusing on the principle of the whole. It corresponds to the symbolic type of perception. A hermetic system of typology is considered to be impossible; artistic practice will largely oppose it. However, these tendencies are able to shed light on the nature of musical perception and allow to continue the scientific discussion of the current topic of musical performance.

Abstract:
The object of this paper is creativity as a cultural philosophical and historical-philosophical phenomenon. The subject of the research is the substantiation of the essence of creativity by Russian religious philosophy on the example of the doctrine of V.S. Solovyov and N.A. Berdyaev. The aim of this research is to identify and articulate the key semantic constructs of creativity from the positions of the above-mentioned thinkers. The article also explores ideas about the nature of creativity and the specific features of a creative subject through the prism of relevant concepts of a socio-humanitarian orientation. A brief historical and philosophical excursion into the understanding of the ontological essence of creativity is carried out, modern ontological concepts of creativity are revealed and an existentially oriented concept of creativity is proposed. The theoretical basis of the research is the original works of V.S. Solovyov and N.A. Berdyaev, as well as various commenting scientific sources. The methodological foundation of the research is a comparative analysis and a method of contextual vision of creativity. The main result of the conducted research is the articulation of key aspects of the understanding of creativity by V.S. Solovyov and N.A. Berdyaev. It is shown that for the first philosopher, the central task of creativity is the spiritualization of the material world through the realization of the unity of Goodness, Truth and Beauty, while the second thinker considers the main mission of creativity to be the establishment of a fundamentally different spiritual being by the subject. The scientific novelty of the research also lies in the comparative characterization of the concepts of creativity of these thinkers in terms of essence, tasks, meaning, material, sources, functions, result and other structural aspects.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the main dramaturgical techniques of creation of the image of antihero in modern cinematography. Similar type of personality is characterized by destructive behavior, controversy and unresolved inner conflict. An antihero tilted towards external and internal destruction suffers from injured pride, and his main goal becomes an attempt of self-affirmation. Despite his negative characteristics, the image of antihero is always complemented with personal philosophy or story preceding its creation, which makes the hero ambiguous and attractive for the audience. The method of research consists in the theoretical analysis of dramaturgical film material. In the context of film dramaturgy, the reflection of human nature allows expressing the multifacetedness and ambiguity of the hero, since behind the negative manifestations of his personality lies the distorted by negative experience axiological system that allows violating the social norm and leads to chaos and destruction. However, despite the negative manifestations, the antihero retains the panhuman qualities, reflected in the need for achieving a certain social status.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the compatibility of the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism and Orthodox Christianity in relation to the class division of society and class struggle. The significance of the study is due to the controversy (often acute) on this issue, which is directly related to the social structure. The article provides a historical and theological analysis of the topic under study on the basis of a critical study of the works of the founders of Marxism-Leninism, their closest associates, historical documents on this issue, as well as historical and theological works. This article attempts to present a systematic analysis of the subject under study. It examines the relationship between the teachings of Orthodox Christianity and Marxism-Leninism about classes and class struggle, as well as their application in practice, and appeals to opponents. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that some documents are analyzed for the first time in connection with the issue under study. Also, in more detail and systematically,
in relation to the available works, the analysis of the relationship between the teachings of Orthodox Christianity and Marxism-Leninism is carried out. The purpose of the work is to study historical documents, as well as historical and philosophical works on this topic. The article concludes that Marxism-Leninism is directly opposed to Christianity in the issue of attitude to the classes of society and the class struggle. In the course of historical development, the intensity of the class struggle changed, but not according to Marxism-Leninism, but depended on the state of morality, religiosity, the development of new trends in the social, scientific and technological development of mankind. A Christian understanding of the essence of the state can provide the basis for the national idea of Russia.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the color meaning in the film of the famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou "Hero", the conceptual understanding of color as the main semantic element of the artistic solution. The object of research is the techniques of visual solutions in cinema. The perception of color in the culture of different peoples differs in certain nuances and depends on many factors, including national traditions and historically established stereotypes. Films by Chinese, Korean, and Japanese filmmakers are interesting from the point of view of color solutions, as they differ in artistic originality and often offer the Russian audience an extraordinary semantic solution of the idea not only at the level of comprehension of the content, but also at the level of a specific color palette.
The author similarly examines the color symbolism of Zhang Yimou's film "Hero". The conceptual content of the visual-figurative series, the originality of the coloristic solution of the film is comprehended. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the study of the color symbolism of Zhang Yimou's film "Hero" in the aspect of the correlation between the perception of the coloristic solution of the visual series and the conceptual content of the film. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the ambivalence of perception of a particular color in visual art, the coloristic solution is predetermined by the conceptual content of each episode, so color becomes the leading semantic concept of Zhang Yimou's film "Hero".

Abstract:
The article provides an overview of contemporary interpretations of the phenomenon which has received in the scientific literature the name of anthropological turn, and applicable to the whole line of research, concepts and practices, the authors of which are authors such as M. Scheler, M. Bakhtin, M. Heidegger, and others. The author considers different interpretations to explain this phenomenon. The article concludes that the anthropological turn is not confined to philosophical and scientific direction of philosophical anthropology. It is a paradigm shift in the thinking of a man and the search for a new language for the development of a new anthropological discourse. This change does not mean the "death of man". It means re-orientation of basic reference points of human existence and recovery of the original ontological foundations of anthropology, on the one hand, and filling a living anthropological content of human ontology, on the other hand. The article explains that virtually all of the authors of anthropological turn were searching not for a new concept of human, but rather his place, and the new way of reasoning on this matter. They were not looking for the final formulization of the essence of a man, but that specific type of existence, which makes the human a human being. In this sense, the representatives of the turn worked on human navigation in dual sense: as the search for human place and the word about him. The specificity of the place consists in the fact that it is not ontologically predetermined and prepared far in advance. This metaphysical spot each is consistently equipped with certain type of practices and thinking. And thus, the word about human each time is structured based on his cognitive, symbolic grounds and landmarks.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the processes of economization as a universal phenomenon affecting the processes of cultural reproduction. The authors associated this occurrence with transformation of the place and role of a subject in economic life. As a result, the modern life observes a global monetization of the various spheres of human activities, including culture, sports, education and science. One of the reasons of such transformations, in the authors’ opinion, relates to the epistemological peculiarities of economic science, one of the basic questions of which remains the correlation between the economic reality and simulated reality. Examination of the communicative nature of economic management allows transferring the economic questions not into the rational-mathematical platitude, but rather anthropological, opening the new opportunities for studying the socio-philosophical aspects of economization. A conclusion is made that the modern economy changes the status of economic subject, forms the realm of subjectlessness that leads to the establishment of technosphere and posthuman economy, where the phenomenon of “alienation of work results” attains the sociocultural connotations. The results of this publication are relevant for further development of the philosophy of economy and economic science in light of the postclassical rationality.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the relationship between aesthetics and metaphysics, as it is drawn in Kant's transcendentalism. In the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment, Kant generally believes that the idea of perfection does not correlate with the idea of a sense of pleasure, and in the first introduction to the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment, he is far from considering the ways of solving the problems of the relationship between perfection and the aesthetic sense of pleasure convincing. But the attitude to perfection changes in Kant's later works, the analysis of which shows that the idea of perfection, in fact, is conceived as a way of founding the whole of aesthetics, its initial category – the beautiful, the meaning of which coincides with the expression of aesthetic perfection if it is genuine beauty.
The metaphysics of perfection contained in the analyzed works of Kant encourages a new look at the categorical apparatus of Kant's aesthetics, formed in the "Critique of the Faculty of Judgment", to expand the idea of Kant's aesthetics as part of transcendental metaphysics. The concept of perfection expresses various aspects of metaphysical research, while preserving its immanent qualities in aesthetics. In predication as an act of modern aesthetic utterance, it is difficult to identify any stages and structures that can be specifically associated with perfectionism. The question of the field of such connections is quite controversial, including in modern Russian philosophy.

Abstract:
The maqam, closely connected at first with the cult-ritual practice, absorbed and reflected philosophical and ethical ideas. These ideas, fixed in the system of maqams, despite their clear canonization, changed; they underwent a certain historical transformation due to changes in the social structure of society itself. However, the main aesthetic function of the maqam, the nature of its emotional and psychological impact on a person, a deep connection with the world around him, remained in the view of Eastern thinkers and musicians unshakable until the XX century. Today, macs should be understood on the one hand as a paradigmatic structure, on the other hand, as a compositional form.
The subtlest gradation of human feelings, emotional and psychological states also determined a carefully developed (theoretically) mode, intonation, pitch system of images, symbols, signs, their connection with specific manifestations of spiritual experiences and emotional states. Certain universal principles of musical dramaturgy are observed in the makam, based on diverse contrast: fret, timbre-register, dynamic, vocal-instrumental, rhythmic. These internal contrasts are infinitely diverse, but they are outlined so subtly, barely perceptible. Instrumental and vocal-instrumental music in Islamic culture was mainly an environment of professional musicians who mastered the art of maqam thinking. Makam represented the unity of the theory of performing practice for musicians.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the process of subjectification from the perspective of M. Foucault: the formation of subjectivity inevitably begins since the moment of appearance of a human and continues throughout his entire life; genuine subjectivity is achieved by an individual in the mature age, but still not in the absolute. At the same time, the subject indicates the achieved a certain existential level individual, who undergone an evolutionary triad of subjectification: individual – personality – subject (A. V. Pavlov). Phenomenological approach allowed intuitively, precisely, descriptively, and analytically establish the differences and lead to clarity the phenomena of conscious life. The scientific novelty consists in the selection of initial point – the period of infancy of an individual, and suggests to focus on the problem of self-identification (finding the true identity) of a subject, which is expressed by J. Lacan in a so-called mirror stage, as well as the triad of Lacanian registers that indicate its peculiarities, and the process of institutionalization of a subject, universally and totally grasping the entire field of subject’s action. The author also plans to examine the proposed by M. Foucault self-practices that thoroughly explain the process of self-positing of a subject, as well as intersubjectivity, when the view and response of the Other is important for the formation of Self.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the anthropological crisis in modern medicine. The object of this research is the anthropological crisis of modernity. The author examines such aspect of the topic as the blurring of customary “natural” image of a patient until the “transformed” and the “subject of biological design” in modern medicine that lead to shift of the principles of its ethical regulation from the traditional medical ethics based on the humanistic orientations of Hippocratic Oath to bioethics aligning itself with the legal rules. A benchmark for this research is the phenomenon of transhumanism. A conclusion is formulated that in terms of the shift of scientific paradigms in medicine, expressed in disposition of its humanistic principles towards naturalistic alongside the existing anthropological crisis in culture, emerges the need for reconsideration of the system of medical education that suggests the increase in the volume of humanitarian disciplines in curriculums of the medical universities. The author’s special contribution lies in the review of anthropological crisis of modernity involving the theoretical apparatus of medicine. The scientific novelty consists in the examination of human image in medicine as an anthropological concept of health in a particular culture.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the emergence and development of Yakut cinema. The object of the study is the Yakut cinema as a phenomenon of national culture. The first appearance of film installations in the Yakut region at the beginning of the XX century is considered. Attention is drawn to the process of mass cinematography in Soviet times. In parallel, the inclusion of Yakut people in the creative process of participating in the first filming at All-Union film studios in the 1930s is traced. Attention is also drawn to the prominent role of the Yakutkino State Trust, which led the development of Yakut cinema. The author analyzes the reasons for the rapid development of Yakut cinema in the post-Soviet period, related to the appeal to the traditions of the Sakha people, the high level of development of theatrical art in Yakutia, artistic and aesthetic needs and spiritual demands of the audience. The article shows the role of "Sahafilm" in the history of Yakut cinema. The characteristic features of the formation of genres of journalistic cinema, the change of repertoire in the early years of Soviet cinematography and during the Great Patriotic War are revealed. The characteristic features of the post-war reconstruction of the technical equipment and training of personnel of the Yakut cinema are outlined. The genre diversity of films shot during this and subsequent times is shown, when, along with documentaries, feature films also begin to be shot. The development of Yakut cinema is traced against the background of all-Union and all-Russian processes. The formation and development of the main institutions of Yakut cinematography, the growth of the skill of its figures are examined through famous films created by them. For the first time, three stages of the development of Yakut cinema have been identified - from the very beginning to the present day: from "silent cinema" to the birth of the national film industry.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the perception of death in public consciousness and its interpretation through the prism of religious and atheistic views. The latter imply the more general social ideas, which manifest as a complex of views, feelings, opportunities for objectification, and suggested ways of interaction, associated with death and caused by the instance of death, or corresponding discourse. The reflection of death in people’s consciousness, in other words the product of social perceptions, is defined by the concept of death. The author uses the phenomenological methodology (phenomenological project of E. Husserl) and hermeneutic methods of analyzing the religious and philosophical aspects applicable to the thanatological problematic. Based on the comparative analysis of the perceptions of death, the author underlines the specificity of each of them, as well as the affiliation to eschatology of a certain type. The religious perceptions are characterized by understanding death as a surmountable quasi-obstacle that opens up a genuine being of spirit. Religious eschatology substantiates the possibility afterlife existence. Within the framework of atheistic perceptions, death designates a return into the state of pre-existence. Special importance is given to the social being and establishment of social eschatology within it. The conclusion is made on the synthesis of religious and atheistic perceptions of death in modernity, which creates platform for the interesting further research in the field of social thanatology.

Abstract:
The object of this research is the problem of impact of the Athos-Byzantine hesychasm upon the personality and works of the Russian publicist of the XVI century Artemy Troitsky. The subject of analysis is his compositions viewed in the context of cultural-historical and religious-social situation of the era. Examination of his life and works is conducted with consideration of scientific results on this problematic in the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and contemporary literature. The author also reviews the sociopolitical aspects of the activity of Russian hesychasts that found reflection primarily in the non-possessors movement. The following conclusions were made: the works of Artemy Troitsky mark unambiguous hesychast influence; his hesychasm in multiple aspects differs from the theological-philosophical doctrine of the late Byzantine hesychasm, Palamism, and established as a result of hesychast disputes Byzantium in the XIV century; Artemy fully remains within the framework of Sinaitism – the mystical-ascetic teaching of Gregory of Sinai; his views indicate a particular moral-ethical and sociopolitical orientation that received its expression in the non-possessors movement.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the conceptual correlation between the criticism of metaphysics and post-secular paradigm. The object of this research is the metaphysical concepts relevant to the philosophical discourse on the post-secular as post-metaphysical. The author meticulously reviews the deconstruction of quasi-metaphysical concepts of the “religious”, “secular”, and “post-secular” in their interrelation in the analytics of the leading contemporary critics of post-secular ad post-metaphysical philosophy: Habermas, Taylor, Caputo, Meillassoux, and Barber. Special attention is given to the history of metaphysics as a factor and environment for the formation of quasi-metaphysical forms of post-metaphysics and post-secularism. The main conclusion lies in the statement that the condition of cogitability and transcendental soil of the paradigm of post-secularism is the criticism of metaphysics. The author determined that the criticism of metaphysics alongside any anti-metaphysics is certainly not the overcoming of metaphysics, but continue to reproduce the metaphysical structure. The deconstruction of the post-secular leads to overcoming the key metaphysical binaries, including dualism of the religious and secular. The author comes to a conclusion that talking about the post-secular implies talking about the various paradigms of correlation between the quasi-metaphysical concepts of the “religious” and “secular”, rather than interaction and transformation of the specific religious confessions and philosophical traditions. The scientific novelty lies in demonstration of the fact that the specific historical form of faith and mind, theology and metaphysics do not align with the quasi-metaphysical and refined forms of the “religious” and “secular” that function within the discourse of post-secularism.

Abstract:
Leaning on the views of the sociologist P. Sorokin upon the cyclic changes of sociocultural systems alongside the views of the Doctor of Art History A. A. Artyukh upon the paradigm shift in development of modern cinematic art, this article examines the formation of the universal formula of pseudo-catharsis within the framework of postmodern aesthetics based on the example of “art blockbuster” of the Latest Hollywood. The author describes how in cinematography of the Latest Hollywood stemming from the synthesis of the “high” and “low” concept films was born the universal formula of “art blockbuster”, which initiated the new paradigm in the development of film industry. As a result of such synthesis, the “art blockbuster” combined in itself the antagonistic cultural values. The author associates sociological views with aesthetical views through correlation between the basic aesthetic categories of the form and content, which correspond with the sociocultural stages of P. Sorokin’s concept. On the example of the synthesis of idealistic harmony and eclectic chaos in the context of “art blockbuster” of the Latest Hollywood, the author illustrates the origination of the universal formula of pseudo-catharsis in postmodern aesthetics. As a result, the “art blockbuster” is consistently able to invoke the cathartic state, which do not lead to “transformation of the mind”, allowing their qualification as “pseudo-catharsis”.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the philosophical conceptualization of evil in the Confucianism. This goal is achieved by solving the following tasks: 1) assessment of Confucianism as a synthesis of the philosophical views of Confucius and Mencius; 2) determination of good and evil as the contrasting concepts in the ethical space, which is based on the ideal of a “person of high nature” Junzi and the real world of a “petty person"; 3) evaluation of evil as the antipode of good, which is based on the sense of duty and regard of moral rules. The novelty of this research consists in the first within the Russian historical-philosophical literature comparative analysis of the views of Confucius and Mencius upon the nature of evil, examination of the genesis of such representations, and their relevance for modern philosophy. Representations on the nature of good and evil of Confucius and Mencius are based on the contrast within the ethical space of the ideal of a “gentleman” (due) and the reality of a “petty person”. The virtue of a “gentleman” is a means of achieving good; and the virtuous life leads to prosperity of the country. Evil of a “petty person” captured by selfish motives, leads to social demise and political disintegration. Mecius applies same moral principles, which govern the individual’s everyday life, to the political sphere of social existence. The thinker underlines circumscription of the monarchs, indicating that even the monarch – if not a “gentleman”, but merely a “petty person” – can be corrupted by evil, in which case the country faced demise.

Abstract:
The study of the cultural activity of the Spiritual missions of the Russian Orthodox Church in various regions of Russia is one of the urgent tasks in the context of the problematic field of the theory of regionalism, cultural studies and socio-philosophical knowledge. Russian settlements on the territory of the Yenisei River basin and the entry of ethnic groups and territories of Yakutia and Buryatia into the Russian Empire has become one of the most important stages of the integration of the ethnic groups of Siberia into a single statehood. The Irkutsk Spiritual Mission received a more perfect organization, institutionalized by increasing the number of missionary camps, which for successful Christian activities carried out among pagans allowed the formation of school educational institutions for the education and upbringing of a new Buryat generation of children in the doctrinal Orthodox canons, and Russian cultural traditions.
In this regard, one of the key tasks of the missionaries was to establish a rational view of further life in new Christian-type formations, which was realized in socio-cultural activities: providing medical care to sick representatives of other ethnic groups, a friendly attitude to people of a different faith and a sincere desire to guide them on the path of righteousness, etc.
It should be noted that the largest share of foreigners in this territory belonged to Buddhists, which was reflected in the influence of lamas on doctrinal issues, including economic ones.
Since Buddhism in the Russian Empire belonged to the section of tolerant religions, direct (administrative) pressure on it was impossible. There remained funds of an exclusively spiritual nature, to which Orthodox missionary work was directed. Today in the Russian Federation, Buddhism, as well as Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as some other faiths belong to the category of traditional religions, which organizationally operate within the framework of the modern Russian Constitution.

Abstract:
The subject of the study is Bernardo Bertolucci's film "The Last Emperor", in particular, the coloristic of the film and the psychology of the image of the main character, which is largely revealed through the color palette and individual artistic details. The object of research is the language of cinematography, cinematographic artistic techniques. Despite the sometimes shocking images and plots, Bertolucci's films were highly appreciated by the international community and domestic film critics due to their artistic solution and topical issues affecting the problems of class struggle and anti-fascist themes.
The author of the article examines the image of the main character of the film, Aisingero Pu Yi, the last emperor of China and Manchukuo. The film is based on real historical events taking place in the first half of the 20th century, so the dramatic collisions of the character are not perceived by the viewer as some kind of abstract problem. Against the backdrop of the complex historical changes that China has faced, many questions of the formation and self-determination of the individual are being raised. The image of Emperor Pu Yi is revealed gradually through a comparison of two storylines and the color scheme of the film, since it is the color palette that helps to subtly and meaningfully convey the psychological content of the character. The main research methods are analytical and comparative-historical. The composition of the film and the dynamics of the change in the color palette of individual episodes are analyzed, which makes it possible to trace the evolution of the image. The author comes to the conclusion that it was the coloristic solution of the film that allowed the creators to convey the national color and historical atmosphere of China of a certain historical period and show a vivid image of the protagonist on the screen.

Abstract:
The object of this research is the interconnection between theatricalization and game. The subject is the human creative factor that allows combining theatricalization and game in a single study. The goal of this work consists in possibility of application of the human creative approach towards the analysis of correlation between theatricalization and game. The author reviews the dual nature of such correlation: in its theatrical-artistic guise and as a gaming modelling of life by the virtue of theatre, as well as introduces and substantiates the concept of creative readiness that is interpreted as a human creative factor. The methodology is based on the works of most prominent foreign and Russian contemporary philosophers, who actively implemented the universal category of “readiness” as a way of understanding the human existence in the process of evolution and as a way of his creative being. In conclusion, the author identifies the for fundamental positions of theatricalization and game interconnection: readiness to create the illusion of reality, readiness to sacralization of the illusionary reality, readiness to group existence in theatricalized game, readiness to sacrificial realization of a role. Theatricalization is formed leaning on the creative readiness, as a new illusionary and gaming reality that strives to replace the actual reality.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the phenomenon of Hubris syndrome, viewed as one of the characteristics of authoritarian governing. Special attention is given to the analysis of the role of public interests in establishment of ethical and organizational culture of hubristic ruling. The cause of this correlation lies in the fact that the commonness of interests forms the foundations for identification of the subject and object of governing in the process of theirs social interaction. The author concludes that Hubris syndrome represents a typological property of any regime, but its manifestations under the conditions of authoritarianism gain its own specificity. The Hubris syndrome phenomenon is important for examination of the authoritarian thinking, as well as authoritarian personality in general. It allows understanding the mental, worldview, and other determinants that have impact upon the formation of authoritarian type of governing. In addition to that, such phenomenon did not receive sufficient reflection within the Russian social philosophy.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the problem that may be considered scientific, sociocultural or institutional, namely looking for an opponent for dissertation on philosophical sciences. Such work allows beholding the evolution of philosophical world, as well establishing the range of questions that concern modern researchers. It is a known fact that currently, the philosophers are not as much interested the works of their colleagues, and thus, image of the empress of the sciences can change. Eventually, the philosophy becomes mosaic, but the search for opponent helps observing what is important for national philosophy and philosophers. Determination of certain development trends in philosophy is important for consolidation of the philosophical community, strengthening the influence of philosophical science upon other fields of knowledge. Search for opponent converts to area studies and analysis of multiple works of the compatriots. Overall, this article correlates such search with a positive moment – studying the insights of the philosophers and cognition of the philosophy itself, alongside its scientific resources and potential. For solution of the set tasks, the author applies the systemic methodology that allows viewing the world of modern philosophy in relation of certain trends and patterns. The article demonstrates the difficulties in looking for an opponent for dissertation on philosophical sciences associated with the extra-scientific and intra-scientific issues; analyzes the state of modern philosophy focused mostly in universities; establishes the features of development of the philosophy, and gives characteristics to the status of a philosopher in modern world.

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to methodological questions in ethical regulation of neuroresearch. Neuroethics has emerged recently within the framework of the neuro-trend in modern technoscience; its regulatory capabilities are yet to be discovered. Sciences that study human brain and behavior orient towards existing institutions of ethical regulation, which do not consider the complexity and specificity of the emerging threats and risks. The author examines the circumstances for formation of the research ethics and points of intersection with neuroethics. Research ethics is viewed as a part of bioethics, which not only assessed the potential harm for the examinees, but also the social and anthropological consequences of scientific and technological development. The author provides a “narrow” understanding of research ethics as a system of rules within the framework of particular disciplines, and as a clinical research practice. Based on the historically established ethical regulation of clinical research and the forming beneath our eyes rules of modification of human genome and artificial intelligence, the author demonstrates contradictions and trends of the separate regulatory systems, which should be taken into account to prevent risks in neuroresearch and prediction of social implications of the spread of neurotechnologies. Ethical examination became a part of a complex system of international control of clinical research, which leads to fading of the value component aimed at protection of research subjects. The author underlines two factors that form the types of harm peculiar to neuroresearch: orientation towards technological realization and vulnerability of mental sphere as a subject of research. The conclusion is made on inefficiency of application of the calculation of harm/advantage in ethical assessment of neuroresearch. Leaning on the experience of bioethics, neuroethics requires development of the own systems of rules that would become the institutions of neuroethical regulation. For preventing formalization of ethical control, it is essential to advance extensive socio-humanistic assessment of new achievements in neuroscience, as well as neuroethical education for the scientists.

Abstract:
The processes taking place in modern science tend to integrate various scientific disciplines in studying any scientific phenomenon. This explains the search of methodology based on the techniques of different sciences involved in formation of the subject of research, which in this article is represented by the digital music art. Interpreted as a branch of music art with digital specificity, digital music art incorporates electronic music presented by specific, algorithmic, and electronic music. A signature characteristic of digital music art consists in its interdisciplinarity, which suggests the combined effect of separate parts of the system and leads to self-organization, which corresponds with the scientific tasks of synergetics. This substantiates the relevance for elaboration of interdisciplinary methodology for studying digital music art in the context of research mechanisms developed within synergetics. The scientific lies in the analysis of digital art through the prism of the qualities inherent to synergetics. The disciplines united by digital art (mathematics, set theory, probability theory, information theory, combinatorics, game theory, cybernetics, computer science, acoustics, sociology, communication, and biology) are interdisciplinary, which means that in ensemble with other disciplines they form a complex interdisciplinary knowledge of structure of digital music art. At the same time, the disciplines that comprise scientific framework of digital music art are attributed to different sciences: humanities, natural sciences, mathematics, social sciences, and technical sciences. In this context, the research of digital music art is simultaneously of interdisciplinary and multiscientific nature. The author established a peculiar impact of interdisciplinarity upon digital art, which generates the qualities inherent to synergetics – nonlinearity, disequilibrium, openness, chaotic nature, entropy, indeterminacy, and dissipation.

Abstract:
The article characterizes the substantial level of sacralization of values in the spiritual culture of the Greater Altai. The main emphasis is placed on identifying the grounds for the sacralization of values. It is established that the world order is one of the bases of sacralization and simultaneously performs the function of consolidating cultural carriers. The key thesis of the research is the thesis that spiritual culture cannot be fully comprehended without reference to sacred values. In addition, the sacralization of values is considered as a condition for ensuring spiritual security and continuity of values and norms between generations of cultural carriers. The assessment of the spiritual potential of the culture of the Greater Altai is of great importance. The main conclusions of the study are the following provisions: 1) the sacralization of key values is carried out at the essential or substantial level, while the stages of sacralization are mainly "tied" to the religious and mythological development of culture and its value-normative system; 2) sacralization encompasses those value structures that acquire importance in human existence and are a factor in the integration of cultural carriers and their generations; 3 sacralization is the process of identifying specific value-semantic structures – they are attributed symbolic meaning, and they are also correlated with certain cultural codes, signs and texts.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the content and direction of the modern cultural processes that lead to the qualitative changes of local cultures, as well as the global cultural space as a whole. The goal of this work consists in determination of trends and prospects of the modern cultural dynamics. The authors examine the essence and content of the processes of globalization and unification of cultural space, virtualization and simulation of sociocultural reality, formation of quasi-society on the basis of Internet communication, features and peculiarities of functionality of the new “galactic of the social-network communication”. Methodology of the study includes the general development trends of the modern culture; its near and future prospect are analyzes from the perspective of the philosophy of life, symbolic interactionism and system-structural approach. A number of conclusions was made during the course of this work: with regards to modernity, can be acknowledged the homogenization of cultural landscape, emergence of the generalized cultural field as a result of globalization – a planetary trend of cultural dynamics. A positive impact of these processes can be observed from the perspective of the philosophy of life of Georg Simmel, according to which the flow of life sweeps away the created by it, but having become confined cultural forms, and leans towards the new, previously unknown. The signs of formation of that new detects another important and noticeable direction in transformation of the modern culture – virtualization and concurrent simulation of the entire sociocultural reality that grasp the economy, politics, social sphere, cultural and leisure, and mass communication. Virtual reality gradually obtains the status of primacy in relation to reality; and the manipulations with the symbols of things substitute the actions with the things themselves. The third trend in cultural dynamics that has powerfully asserted itself is the formation and rapid development of the “galactic of the social-network communication” that generates the quasi-society.

Abstract:
At the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, have emerged multiple works dedicated to the analysis of so-called “cultural trauma”, in other words, a psychological trauma that affects the formation of one or another collective (national, religious, class, etc.) identity. These research used the various, and at times, conflicting methodologies: behavioristic, psychoanalytic, and constructivist. The author attempts to combine all of the valuable achieved within the framework of modern methodologies, having revised the initial prerequisite of examination of cultural traumas. First assumption of the author is the hypothesis of non-communicative nature of language, according to which language is formed as a “strategic computational system” that originally was indented for interaction between people (N. Chomsky and others). The second – is a creative, essential for the establishment of personality and community character or repressed to subconscious traumatic factors (Freudism of the 1920’s – 1930’s). The third – is a “selective” character of any culture, which transmits or suppresses the existing at its disposal meanings and values (Foucault and others). As a result, the author suggests to view the cultural trauma as a process of complicated interaction of the conscious (representative, communicative) and the subconscious (strategic-intellectual) factor. Notably, at the conscious level, it would always be the traumatizing external circumstances, “hostile environment”; while at the subconscious level – about the frustrated self-abnegation, inability to “become different”. Both levels are necessary for the establishment of collective identity.

Abstract:
The subject of this article is the comparison of the philosophy of freedom in its relation to the philosophy of state and society in the Russian and Western European classical liberalism. This comparative analysis in aimed ad identification of specificity of the Russian liberalism as a peculiar tradition within the framework of pan-European liberal movement. Based on interpretation of the concept of freedom within the framework of European liberalism, the author highlights the three traditions of European liberalism: Anglo-French that reduces freedom to its external manifestations; German that focuses on the dialectics of external and internal freedom; and Russian tradition of the liberal philosophy of freedom. The main conclusion lies in the proof of succession between the liberal philosophy of John Locke, Enlighteners and John Stuart Mill, which leads to the author’s assumption that the pinnacle of educational understanding of freedom is the liberalism of J. S. Mill. The author’s contribution to the study of problematic of the history of liberal philosophy is the determination in the philosophy – the chief theoretician of the Russian liberalism of the XIX century – B. N. Chicherin of the two new meanings of the concept of freedom, which are absent in the German philosophy of tradition that Chicherin leans upon: the social freedom and the freedom reproved in the absolute personal nature that may be referred to as spiritual. The article concretizes the interrelation between the philosophy of freedom and the philosophy of state: the Western liberal philosophy of state is interpreted as a mechanicalism, while the Russian interpretation of state is understood as teleological.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the theory of interconnections between architecture and tectonics of the XX century and the transformations taking place in social space, and thus, in the individual mental life of a person. The study was conducted based on the works of one of the most prominent representatives of anthropological approach in the architectural philosophy – the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk. His philosophical concept Sloterdijk builds through determination of the essence of consciousness of a modern human, which reflects the phenomena of social restructuring along with the transformations in sociopolitical and cultural life. The article examines the analyzed by the philosopher strategies and patterns common to urban development and architectural engineering of the XX century. Methodology contains the descriptive characteristics of P. Sloterdijk’s architectural philosophy in the Russian-language scientific literature; hermeneutic analysis of his works; and comparative analysis of his ideas with the theories of other prominent representatives of the architectural philosophy. The scientific novelty is substantiated by the insufficient knowledge on Sloterdijk’s architectural philosophy in the Russian-language scientific literature. In conclusion, the author systematizes and generalizes Sloterdijk’s key ideas pertinent to interconditionality of architecture of the XX century with the sphere of psychosocial, as well as compares his philosophical concept with the content of theories of other architectural philosophers.

Heidegger’s Thesis on ancient Ontology: Being as Production

Abstract:
The article deals with Heidegger’s interpretation of antique ontology, in which Being was conceptualized in terms of production. What is this interpretation and why is it so important? Until recently, it has been difficult to answer these questions, since the texts in question have only in recent years become publicly available, and therefore have not yet been fully absorbed in Heideggerian-studies. Consequently, even the very useful works that cover the subject of production-theme in Heidegger focus more on the question of technique and do not consider the formation of this problematic, and therefore do not deal with it substantively. In the years 1921-1924, Heidegger was closely involved with Aristotle and lectured on his favorite philosopher for four years. It was during this period that he began to interpret Being in Aristotle as being-made, being-produced (das Hergestelltsein), and then extended this interpretation to the whole of ancient and medieval philosophy. This is a very remarkable moment in terms of methodology that characterizes Heidegger as a historian of philosophy. In this article, the author examines Heidegger’s interpretation of ancient ontology, revealing its weaknesses.

Abstract:
The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the analysis of indicators of mental and physical health of a person and their mutual influence is little disclosed in the philosophical literature. There is a problem of studying the achievement of well-being in philosophical terms and the factors influencing it, including the connection of existential fullness (fundamental existential motivations) with various positive aspects of the functioning of the individual that make up well-being: autonomy, competence, personal growth, positive relationships, self-acceptance, life goals.
In this regard, we have undertaken a study related to the study at the theoretical level of the relationship between existential fulfillment and well-being. The purpose of the study: to identify the relationship between the components of life well-being and existential fulfillment.
The degree of existential fullness shows whether there is a lot of meaning in life, whether a person lives in inner harmony, whether his decisions and actions correspond to his essence. Life well-being is a subjective feeling of wholeness of satisfaction with one's being.
The study revealed significant connections between the components of such personal constructs as life well-being and existential fulfillment. As a result of the theoretical study , the following conclusions were made:
The first fundamental existential motivation concerning the possibility of existence in the world is largely related to self-acceptance and competence. The second fundamental existential motivation concerning the value of life is largely related to self-acceptance and positive relationships. The third fundamental existential motivation concerning self-esteem is largely related to personal growth. The fourth fundamental existential motivation, crowning all the previous ones and concerning meaning, is essentially related to life goals and autonomy.

Abstract:
This study is a comparative lingocultural research. Its main goal is to identify the peculiarities in the interpretation of the concept of "politics" in Russian and Chinese linguocultures using the semantic context of this term. We compare how different aspects of the concept of "politics" are perceived in each of these cultures and analyze them within the context of cultural features, language nuances, and historical factors. In this research, we employ various scientific methods for analyzing and comparing the understanding of "politics" in Russian and Chinese cultures. These methods include comparative-historical analysis to study the historical context, generalization method for data classification, and semantic analysis method for understanding meanings and connotations. These methods help us better understand the similarities and differences in how different cultures perceive the concept of "politics". While there are numerous studies dedicated to comparing concepts in the Russian and Chinese languages, there is currently a lack of linguocultural studies that analyze the understanding of "politics" within the Russian and Chinese linguocultures. This underscores the scientific novelty and significance of this research. The results of this study will have a significant impact on improving cross-cultural understanding between these two ethnic groups. Furthermore, these results can be used in the development of educational programs in the fields of regional studies and comparative cultural studies, as well as in the process of teaching relevant languages.

Abstract:
The object of the research is the processing of Yakut folk songs stored in the fund of the first Yakut composer M.N. Zhirkov (1892-1951) in the National Library of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The subject of the study is the manuscript "100 Yakut songs". Some of them were published in the collections "Sakha Yryalara" (1948) and "Yakut folk Songs" (1958). Special attention in the comparative aspect is paid to the already published samples, in particular, in the music collections of A.V. Scriabin and F.G. Kornilov. The article examines the internal content of the treatments of the songs included in the manuscript "100 Yakut songs", expert reviews, testimonies of contemporaries. The article for the first time raises the problem of co-authorship of tunes and completed treatments, some of which are folk tunes. Samples characterized by a developed melodic structure are considered as the result of the melodic creativity of amateur authors, as well as the impact of musical professionalism of the European type. As a result of the analysis of M.N. Zhirkov's handwritten heritage, it was found that many treatments of Yakut folk songs were performed by him in collaboration with Moscow composers G.I. Litinsky and G.G. Lobachev. Also, for the first time, a comparative analysis of the corpus of song treatments from M.N. Zhirkov's manuscript "100 Yakut songs", which is stored in the collections of the National Library of the RS (Ya), was carried out.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is youth oeuvre of the prominent Russian composer of the second half of the XX century Boris Tishchenko. The symphony “Crainquebille” was composed in 1958 based on the eponymous acute social story by Anatole France on misadventures of a Parisian greengrocer, a “little man” who was caught up in the wheel of justice. In 1993, the composer renamed the symphony “Crainquebille” into “French”. Special attention is given to symphonic dramaturgy, programmability in music, and interrelation between music and literature. Tishchenko creates a virtuosic concerto for the orchestra within the framework of the classical symphonic cycle, imbues it with the novel compositional techniques, experiments with orchestral colors and timbres, gradually carries the main theme through the entire work, and is apparently fascinated by speech intonation and the word conveyed through the instrumental motif. It is concluded that Tishchenko decided to make virtually no changes to his early symphonic composition; the quality of the material created during his second year at Leningrad Conservatory contributed to emergence of a remarkable and novel symphonic opus written in a modern relevant, orchestrally imbued, rich and bright language. The novelty of this research consists in the fact that this article is the first reference in Russian musicology to the “French” symphony of B. Tishchenko, as well as a comprehensive review. The author reveals its content, analyzes difficulties of performing, and cross-cutting dramaturgy.

Abstract:
The problematics of civilization development and the place of human being in it is a significant area of research, which is additionally actualized nowadays in the conditions of the outlined transition to a new stage - the civilization of cognitive technologies. According to the assessment proposed in the article, three stages of civilization development should be distinguished: agrarian, machine, and the civilization of cognitive technologies, which is currently being formed. It is characterized by the main need in the form of artificial cognitive systems for intellectual control of machines for the production of material goods, and the result of satisfying this need is the replacement of human beings by artificial cognitive systems in the intellectual control of machines. The following several questions are key in the context of the mentioned problems: "What are the functions of human beings in the existence and development of civilization?", "Do these functions change?", "Are there inalienable ones among them?", "What can become the basis for the further development of civilization?". The functions of human beings within civilization are the generation of needs and work to satisfy them. Generation of needs is an inalienable function of human being in civilization, which determines the determining role of the evolution of needs in the development of civilization. The main role in the evolution of needs belongs to social mechanisms of compulsion (motivation) to consumption, which influence not only the satisfaction of social needs, but also stimulate excessive consumption of material goods and intellectual activity. Further development of civilization will preserve the position of human being as an initiator of this development only in case of successful implementation of social coercion mechanisms. The condition for this is social integration: preservation and expansion of ties between human beings, counteraction to the fragmentation of society.

Abstract:
The object of this research is the problematic raised by the representatives of political-legal doctrine of Eurasianism, which retains its relevance, despite the fact that the history of classical Eurasianism ended over 70 years ago. Geographical position of Russia along with its spatial-temporal orientation, or using the term of Pyotr Nikolaevich Savitsky “topogenesis”, foredooms the national political-legal ideology to pursuit of new ideas and concepts attributed to this characteristic of the country. The subject of this research is the relevance of classical Eurasianism, namely the ideas of its founder N. S. Trubetzkoy with their anti-extremist vector. The author also compares the ideas of N. S. Trubetzkoy and L. N. Gumilyov, and determines the common anti-extremist position. The main conclusion consists in proving the author’s hypothesis on anti-extremist nature of the ideas of N. S. Trubetzkoy and L. N. Gumilyov. A vivid testimony is reflected in the essence of Trubetzkoy’s “revolution of consciousness”, which rejects “fascinating intentions of Romano-Germanic civilization”, declaring itself “the center of the universe”, while it is necessary to understand that all cultures are equivalent to the fact that there is no highest and lowest cultures. N. S. Trubetzkoy claims that the “revolution of consciousness” lies in toppling the idols of egocentrism, in other words, the national haughtiness and chauvinism. Another conclusion is proof of the hypothesis on anti-extremist nature of Eurasian ideas of L. N. Gumilyov. He advanced arguments for polycentrism according to the theory of ethnogenesis, which is based on natural science. The idea of ethnoses itself, as the main point of Gumilyov’s theory, speaks of the evident anti-nationalistic and anti-extremist character of his theory, which again proves the author’s hypothesis.

Abstract:
The development of opera genre in Europe and Russia in the XIX century is of particular interest for the Chinese and Russian art historians. The subject of this article is the history of European and Russian opera in the XIX century. The object of this research is the works of the leading opera composers and the novelties introduced by each of them into the opera genre. The goal consists in examination of the following aspects of the topic: specificity of emergence of opera in Russia in the XVIII century, establishment of the national opera schools – Italian, French, German and their prominent representatives, as well as peculiarities of the Russian opera tradition of the XIX century. The novelty lies in determination of similarities and differences between the European and Russian opera in the XIX century from the perspective of of Chinese art history. The author's special contribution consists in the attempt to discuss the subject matter in the context of Chinese art historians who take interest in the peculiarities of opera of the XIX century.
