The Philosophy of Communitarianism in the Mission of a Sustainable University

Introduction. Modernity is characterized by the framework of the “neoliberal doctrine of world development”, and it defines the main vectors of the development of higher education. The “extinction” of the humanistic meaning of education, the understanding of the mission of the university solely as a contribution to public well-being through technological breakthroughs and business – all this forces us to return to the understanding of the mission of the university. The new study of the university's mission is determined by the influence of the philosophy of communitarianism on the university's activities on the track of sustainable development.Methodology and sources. The study of the problems with which the higher education system is faced, the study of the university's mission in the context of sustainable development of society and the influence of the philosophy of communitarianism and the “capability approach” are based on a systematic approach that allows us to consider the university as an integral, institutionally organized subsystem of society. The sociocultural approach allows us to consider the university corporation as a collective subject of educational, scientific and other activities focused on the values of public and personal welfare.Results and discussion. The concepts of communitarianism try to resist the dominance of neoliberalism. The main idea of these concepts is the moral improvement of society through the revival of traditional values and the education of the individual (A. McIntyre). The philosophy of “capability approach” (A. Sen, M. Nassbaum) has similar ideas on the development of moral qualities of the individual, the denial of the “egocentric essence of person”, the assertion of the priority of the general over the particular. Full-fledged human functioning depends on a set of abilities and opportunities, for example, the ability to get an education, the opportunity to participate in public and political life, to realize their own development trajectory, etc. The greater the set of these opportunities in each person's life, the higher its quality is evaluated. The philosophy of “opportunities” and the philosophy of communitarianism are interfaced with the concept of sustainable development of society. Models of “sustainable universities” that implement practices of interaction with society try to put into practice communitarian ideas, creating a balance of interests of the individual and society, public good and personal freedom.Conclusion. Combining the ideas of communitarianism with the idea of sustainable development could give a new impetus to the development of the university and change the content of its mission, and strengthen its humanitarian orientation.

Перспективы развития сельского зеленого, экологического и этнографического видов туризма в Крыму

This article focuses on rural green tourism, which is widely regarded as the most promising form of tourism in the twenty-first century. Among the common species in the hospitality industry more and more popular are the "green travel" and the rest in rural areas. No exception to this is the Crimea, where tourism is the main industry for budgets. Tourism in Crimea affects the structure of employment and self-employment, contributes to the consolidation and enrichment of all ethnic communities, to the formation of a tolerant attitude of some ethnic groups to the other, the development of moral qualities, to raising the cultural level of the people. The development of rural (agricultural) green, ecological and ethnographic tourism in the Crimea allows, as it seems, to solve many of the problems associated with the territorial organization of recreational facilities. Hopefully, that this issue will finally be moved from the dead point in connection with the reunification of the Crimea with Russia. Unfortunately, the state authorities within twenty-five years have paid little attention to the development of tourism in the Crimea. The villages once thriving have been decaying. In this regard, 90% of the recreational and wellness enterprises were concentrated in the coastal part, many of them have been privatized, others every year got out of the industry as they were not cost-effective. Deep mining and coastal, foothill, or steppe areas of the Crimea, despite the presence of a large number of natural, historical, cultural, archaeological, ethnographic resources have been not in demand. Attempts should be made to attract the attention of the authorities to the problem of development of rural green tourism villages. However, apart from declaring problems Ukrainian authorities were not solving them. Hopefully, this brief analysis of the problems will help the new leadership of the Republic of Crimea to revive many of the tourist resources and to develop new types of tourism in rural areas. Ecological and cultural value of rural green tourism, its alternative value should be a reliable impetus to the revival of the Crimean villages on the basis of careful attitude to the distinctive culture of the various ethnic groups inhabiting the Crimea and, above all, their historical heritage.
