the role of culture in the globalizing world as the basis of creativity of all individuals and each ethnos. In this regard
we can say that culture dictates politics and politics dictate culture. Being both an object and subject of culture, human
being is a spiritual core of the process and the importance of his role cannot be exaggerated. Peoples’ languages play
an important role, too, because they develop the national culture and constitute the global culture and civilization.

The Identity Problem in Post-Modernistic Feminism
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 9.
P. 61-75.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58686
Abstract:
Based on English texts, the author of the article describes and analyzes transformation of feministic theories
under the influence of the global social processes and intellectual innovations during the age of Post-Modernism. The
article considers the social and discursive grounds for new feministic conceptions (the third-wave feminism). Neoconservative
political reaction to the seconds-wave feminism during the 80th as well as further development of globalization
played a particular role among other social determinants of this process. Globalization resulted in activation of
women of the Third World and formation of ethnic feministic conceptions centered on the multi-identity problem (on the
basis of ethnicity, gender and social class). According to the author, discursive grounds for post-modernistic feminism
included internal contradictions in the theories of the first- and second-wave feminism and criticism by anti-feminism,
post-modernism, ‘black and colour’ feminism, feministic post-colonial theory and simply ‘other-minded’ feminists. The
author also describes and analyzes the ‘new feministic movements’ of the X generation with their basic features being
the refusal from the theory, values and mass political actions of the second-wave feminism; individualism; hedonism;
and adoption of the concepts of the flexible or hybrid personal identities. This, in fact, shows that feminism does not
exist as the theory and mass movement any more. The article introduces many English texts written both by the representative
of the third-wave feminism and Western feminism researches.

The Role of Philosophy in Solving the Global Political Issues and Fighting Violence: Ancient
Ideas and Modern Age
// Philosophy and Culture.
2011. ¹ 9.
P. 85-96.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58688
Abstract:
The article analyzes the social and political views f the Antique philosophers and their relation to modern
political issues. The study of the most important provisions of philosophy by Plato, Aristotle, stoics, Cicero, Seneca
allows to conclude that at early stages of its development the European philosophy was already aimed at fighting
all forms of violence, nursing social interests, responsibility for the fate of a state institution and desire to serve
to the common well- being and humanity. Due to that, in ancient Greek and Roman texts one can discover the approach
to philosophy as a practical knowledge to be applied to political life and state construction. Such a view on
the role of philosophy in the society promoted the tradition of critical analysis of statehood, politics, violence and
creation of the ‘perfect state’ model. Performing its functions (critical analysis, prognosis, cultural up-bringing) modern political philosophy, just as Ancient philosophy, greatly contributes to solving political issues, fighting
violence and forming new systems of values that responds to the challenges of the globalizing world. Dialogue
with the Ancient legacy can help a lot in achieving these goals since it would allow not only to better understand
the genesis and nature of many modern theories, but also to bring into focus the positive but unused potentials of
previously existing philosophies.

Ethno Confessional Tolerance as a Factor of Socio-Political Stability of a State
// Philosophy and Culture.

P. 97-102.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58689
Abstract:
Our government carries out its activity in conditions of unstable, dynamic, complicated and contradictory
word, multi-variant development of events and unbalanced international relations due to the crisis. The analysis of the
current confessional situation in our countries allows to define a number of tendencies characterizing the processes
within the religious organizations as well as their relations with the government and influence not only on internal
confessional and inter-confessional relations but also on political and economic relations in the world.
The problem of ethno-confessional security as the object for sociological analysis suggests the study of its antipode —
ethno-confessional threat which also has its own system of indictors and criteria.
Sociological analysis in this sphere must be characterized by a wider frontal approach and complete and true information
on peculiarities of this or that process related ethnical and religious identification, ethno-confessional interactions
and relations. It would allow to make the best management decision.

in the ontological and the sense. However, according to the author Ancient philosophers already believed that
it was possible to understand a human only through a symbol. It is the symbol which reveals the mystery of a human:
the human is interested not only for what is real but also for what is hidden and twinkles in a symbol.

secondly, preservation of the maximal privacy of the community which protects from the ‘alien others’ who are distant
and confusing for the community, and therefore, dangerous.

The Renaissance Culture as a Space of Representative Relationship between

// Philosophy and Culture.

P. 152-163.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58695
Abstract:
The article studiesthe phenomenon of Renaissance from the point of view of the representative relationship
between human and God. Generalization of accumulated experience in researching the Western Europe Renaissance
discovered the unique integration of religious and social basis of that period in culture. Analytical review of the spectrum
of modern interpretations and original conceptions of philosophers-humanists allowed to describe the features
of perfect human and perfect God during the Renaissance culture. Dialectical relationship between human and God
are concretized in the ‘Son of God’ concept discussed in a number of N. Kuzansky’s works. In works by philosophershumanists
God is revealed and understood only through the ideal (representative) relationship with the human. According
to the synthetic conception ideal representation is typical for all relations where the sides try to go beyond
their own limits and to display itself through the other. The study of Renaissance in Western Europe from the point of
view of the ideal relationship helps to define the conceptual grounds for the mechanism of revival in culture of Renaissance
as well as cultural ideals showing search and reestablishment of relations between human and God.

Abstract:
The risk conception has become one of the key concepts of the modern social structures dynamics and
prediction of their development trends. The basic factor of growing interest towards the risk issue is the society’s
concern about negative consequences of the forced development of modern technical science and technologies. One
of the methods of conceptualization of this issue is the theoretical frame describing the processes of communicating risks as a range of initiatives aimed at finding the effective mechanisms of involving public into solving difficult
tasks and social learning. Productivity of trans-disciplinary strategies aimed at combination of scientific resources
and the sphere of ascientific knowledge of social actors is shown in the sphere of biomedical technologies. One of
the forms of the most adequate implementation of trans-disciplinary approaches to communicating risks is the
so-called humanitarian expertise.
