Кирик Новгородец и космологические загадки по-древнерусски

The text of the “Teaching on Numbers” by the monk and mathematician Kirik the Novgorodian (the first half of the 12th century) was introduced into scientific circulation in the 1820s. Initially, this text was assessed as exclusively mathematical-calendar content. As the research unfolded, questions of a textual, historical-mathematical, philosophical, cultural and socio-psychological nature arose. Compared with similar writings of Kirik’s era, his calculations are recognized as accurate, and in methods of calculation on the abacus, he was 400 years ahead of his time. In addition to the “Teaching on Numbers”, the theological treatise penned by Kirik, “The Questions of Kirik”, has come down to our times, written in the form of a dialogue between a pastor and a bishop about the vital problems of service practice. Despite numerous articles and solid monographs on Kirik’s legacy, some postulates of the “Teaching”, as well as vocabulary features, remain undisclosed and mysterious. The first riddle concerns the scientific research and peculiarities of the reconstruction of the lists of Kirik’s treatises, which have come down to us only from the 16th century. A mere mystery concerns the fragment about circuits in the renewal of the elements, which, at first glance, has a natural philosophical content. The question arises: could Kirik, as a thoughtful scientist, simply rewrite these calculations from the prototype text familiar to him, the so-called “seven-thousanders”? Hypotheses are put forward of Platonic, Pythagorean, Gnostic influences on the essence of the fragment, but no supporting texts have been found. The article presents arguments in favor of the hypothesis of the influence of the mathematical teachings of the Pythagoreans on the prototype of the fragment about the renewal of the elements. The Pythagorean thesis about the structure of the corporeal cosmos according to the laws of beauty and harmony, which are based on the principle of commensurability, is clearly reflected in the mathematical calculations of the fragment. Kirik addressed his “Teaching” to lovers of numbers and he himself belonged to the circle of intellectuals. Modern studies of the Pythagorean tradition confirm the intercultural nature of the influence of the Pythagorean tradition on other ideological directions of thought. In Old Rus the tradition was supported by chroniclers and chronologists.

The ecological law has become the organic content of “the law of beauty”. The ecological aesthetic education born in this situation reflects people’s introspection on their own survival and their desire and pursuit of natural beauty in the post-epidemic era. Nature is no longer an isolated and static material existence for people to take, but a whole organic existence. As a human is no longer the master of all things, but a life existence in the ecosystem living with the natural things. Ecological aesthetic education needs multiple bearer, and the cultural and creative design of nature education is born in response to this demand, which has been quickly recognized by people and gradually attracted wide attention. The cultural and creative design of nature education aims to fully explore the concept of nature education in cultural and creative products, and let people feel the existence of beauty in the process of natural experience through design elements.

Thanatological Discourse in Ivan Bunin’s Works

The article analyses the memoir notes of Ivan Bunin and his contemporaries, who knew him closely, which express his attitude to death. Bunin’s notes, drafts and diaries are full of his reflections on the subject of finiteness of human life. In conversations with relatives and friends he confessed that he “is obsessed with the death” and that he “is afraid of it.” The theme of death is the key issue in many of Ivan Bunin’s prosaic and poetic works. In the book “The Life of Arsenyev,” which can be considered the writer’s autobiography, he mentions the fact that the acceptance of death has made him think about the existence of God and the existential dilemma for the first time. Bunin’s fear of death was a kind of a phobia reflected in all his works. The idea of the finiteness of existence is based not only on the perception and feelings of some of Bunin’s characters, but also on the fate of entire social classes. This is why Bunin’s imagery is characterized by a nostalgic, elegiac tone, the “matte silver” colour (according to M. Gorky). The writer rebels against the inevitability of death the way children do (“I will not give in”) and the way writers do by using their works as a line of defense in the struggle over time (“Now you are a thought. You are eternal”). A specific thanatological perception of the world sharpened his attention to Buddhism and to the doctrine of reincarnation. The “law of beauty” for Bunin is based on an eschatological view. That is why he doesn’t write about the future and interprets everything related to the ideal, nature and eternity in a Christian way

Aesthetic worldview is not just contemplation of things, but a special worldview, open to a human in the personal dimension. Thus, the focus of human vision is the uniqueness of everything that happens in the reality. This worldview is the basis for the development of the world art. Speech is important in the creation of the concept. At first, speech has a declarative descriptive nature, and serves as a means for understanding the picture. The emergence of this type of speech occurs unplanned (the scheme: draw-explain). At the second stage, speech is involved in the step-by-step creation of a plan (the child consistently plans the individual details of the drawing, with the help of speech he/she outlines each next step, talking about possible options for the drawing). At the last stage, the child mentally makes a plan or a program of sequential actions, which are subsequently voiced. Keywords: speech activity, coherent speech, visual art activity, preschool age, children of senior preschool age, preschool institution.

Architectural and artistic features of the entrance portal of the church in Velykyi Khodachkiv of Ternopil region

The design of the main entrances in cathedrals and churches has always been one of the main tasks of artists. Realising the importance of the entrance to the Temple of God, the sculptors tried to design it in the form of a portal and give it prominence with an original sculpturesque design. This study covers the features of the architectural and artistic structure of the main portal of the Church of the Mother of God in Velykyi Khodachkiv, justifies its artistic value, examines the technical condition of the newly discovered monument, and identifies aspects of the restoration of the portal. Based on the general scientific and special restoration research methods used, the paper investigated the style characteristics of the portal, identified the main reasons for the degradation of the monument, and developed a set of restoration measures. In the study, based on literary sources and field surveys, an attempt to investigate the influence of one of the main architectural elements of the temple decoration – the portal, on the architectonics of the main facade of the shrine was made. Special attention was drawn to the unexplored Velykyi Khodachkiv Church in the Ternopil region, which is in a dilapidated state with an interesting architectural design of the main entrance. The architectural, artistic, and compositional design of the entrance portal of the Church of the Mother of God the Comforter and St. Joseph in Velykyi Khodachkiv was analysed in detail.

The pedagogical perspective of ethnographic design as a kind of complex interdisciplinary art project activities

The versatility of the national culture, which integrates the achievements of Ukrainian people and has the features of harmonious self-development, requires such a socio-cultural organization of society, which would contribute to the systematic spiritual and cultural development of each individual. National culture, having high educational and educational potential, acts as a powerful factor in the harmonious development of a person, its socialization, individualization, ethno-cultural identification. Every person himself becomes not only the creator of culture, but at the same time its creation. The article deals with ethnographic design as a phenomenon of modern culture in the context of preservation and enhancement of the elements of the intangible cultural heritage, in particular, it concerns the development of traditional crafts. The wording of ethnographic design from the pedagogical point of view as a kind of complex interdisciplinary art-project activity is synthesized, which synthesizes regional traditions of artistic and material culture, modern humanitarian, artistic and technical knowledge, methods of artistic design and technical design, is aimed at creating an ethnocultural subject environment, aesthetically assessed as integral and harmonious. Design based on ethnocultural motifs is a global trend. Recourse to the history, theory, and methodology of design in modern science is not uncommon. The ultimate goal of design, which is to form a harmonious subject environment that most fully meets the material and spiritual needs of man, encourages the need to understand design as an aesthetic expression of culture. Therefore, recourse to social activities related to the transformation of reality according to the laws of beauty is an urgent need of modern aesthetics, namely those of its applied properties, embodied in design, the speed and dynamism of which accelerates in unison with the development of society.

Socialism with an Occult Face: Aesthetics, Spirituality, and Utopia in Late Socialist Bulgaria

This article explores the unlikely infusion of state-sponsored spiritualism into the materialist ideology of Bulgarian late communism. In the 1970s, Minister of Culture and daughter of party leader Lyudmila Zhivkova initiated grandiose state programs to inject the “occult” into Bulgaria’s national culture, art, science, and even political philosophy. Inspired by her Eastern religious beliefs, she sought to “breed” a nation of “all-round and harmoniously developed individuals,” devoted to spiritual self-perfection, who would ultimately “work, live and create according to the laws of beauty.” How are we to explain such a paradoxical lapse into state-sponsored spiritualism in a milieu dominated by materialism as a philosophy and way of life? How did Zhivkova’s occultism inform and transform Bulgarian late socialism? In pursuit of these questions, the article opens with Zhivkova’s intellectual and political trajectories, especially her spiritual formation, as I see her religiosity as the cornerstone of her cultural theory and praxis. The second part reconstructs Zhivkova’s theoretical apparatus, while the third demonstrates how it was translated into a large-scale aesthetic-spiritual utopia, which posited art, culture, aesthetics, and spirituality as a way to revamp the entire communist project. I contend that as quixotic as Zhivkova’s vision was, her policies contributed to the liberalization of art and culture in a period that has long been associated exclusively with stagnation and decay. In so doing, I demonstrate that impulses to attach “a human face” to the communist project endured even after the Prague Spring of 1968.

‘Living Artistically’ under Post-Fordist Conditions

‘Shaping one’s life artistically’ implies the principle ‘I live as an artist when all my actions, and my expression in general, in connection with any content whatever, remain for me a mere show and assume a shape which is wholly within my power’ (Hegel). Drawing on Hegel, the ‘young’ Marx advocated ‘production in accordance with the laws of Beauty’ (‘artistic work/life’), as a kind of work which, inasmuch as it was ‘free’, provided a model for the elucidation of the presupposition of human emancipation. ‘True Art’ appears to be work performed under the umbrella of a ‘free community’, where the division between masters and slaves, working class and capitalists, emancipators and emancipated, is abolished. Does the conception of ‘living artistically’ (still) have a critical emancipatory value, and how can it be formulated under the conditions of a global market economy and post-Fordism, where every critical act, event and activity is appropriated?

The Works of I.A. Bunin: Philosophical Interpretations

The article examines the interpretations of I.A. Bunin’s literary works in Russian philosophy. The author discusses the contradictions between the interpretations of the philosophers I.A. Ilyin, F.A. Stepun, and V.N. Ilyin. Philosophical interpretations make possible the conceptual comprehension of I.A. Bunin’s works. Difference in opinions and assessments derives from the difference of their philosophical views because philosophers project their own philosophical ideas on I.A. Bunin’s works. In the book On Darkness and Enlightenment , I.A. Ilyin reduced Bunin’s narrative to the image of external and sensual experience. I.A. Ilyin demonstrated that Bunin ignored spiritual life. On the contrary, F.A. Stepun found spirituality and metaphysics in Bunin’s works (article “Ivan Bunin”). V.N. Ilyin did not propose any complete concept in relation to I.A. Bunin’s works. He drew attention to some religious-philosophical motives in I.A. Bunin’s works and their connection to world wisdom. On the example of the novel The Life of Arseniev the author of article shows that Bunin has “philosophy of creativity” and creative method, which can be defined as the “phenomenology of spiritual life.” Bunin most often does not describe separately the mental states of literary characters and the surrounding nature, but unites them into a single world in which one penetrates into the other. For Bunin’s description of life phenomena, it is characteristic to “bracket out” reflection, moral and religious assessments (what in philosophy is called “phenomenological reduction”). However, Bunin looked for the ideal of supreme wisdom behind the world of human feelings. He described this ideal in the work The Liberation of Tolstoy . The article proves that Bunin not only described external and sensual experience, but he looked for supreme spiritual unity and saw the way to spiritual liberation in the laws of beauty and harmony.

Aesthetic needs in professional activity of future teacher of music: theoretical aspect of the problem

The paper considers the issue of developing aesthetic needs of a future music teacher in the course of professional training. The author defines notions such as culture, aesthetic culture, aesthetic activity as well as explores the essence of the notion of an aesthetic need of a future music teacher. The paper substantiates the role of art and aesthetic activity as the main factor for aesthetic needs development. The study reveals that there is a reason for the interest to human needs since a large number of branches in material and spiritual culture of society depend on defining the nature of needs and trends in their development. The author emphasises that the functioning of all levels of human life requires needs that would meet human development both physically and emotionally, thus, there should be an aesthetic form of activity because it harmoniously combines both spiritual and functional aspects. The paper substantiates the role of art as the main factor for development of aesthetic needs that can be met in various activities, but it is in art that they find the greatest expression. The author supports the idea that art is a special area of human existence and it combines knowledge and communication, intelligence, a sense of morality, and imagination of people. Involvement of a person in art is a necessary condition for development of aesthetic consciousness since elevation of the spirit and actualization of an essential aesthetic force take place during the process of perception, experience and understanding of works of art. Art integrates a dialogue of a person with the world. Considering the concept of an aesthetic need, the author defines it as an internal need to comprehend certain aesthetic values, development of certain skills, because an aesthetic need is based on aesthetic feelings that are embodied in aesthetic tastes and consist of individual selection of those aesthetic phenomena and objects that best suit views and interests of a person. The paper emphasises that an aesthetic need embodies richness and diversity of spirituality of a person who seeks to fulfill their potential in all fullness of life and if a person has a need for personal fulfillment, they will find the strength and ways to do that. It has been proved that an aesthetic need has semantic and aesthetic properties and has an artistic and perceptual nature, which provides an opportunity to obtain pleasure, enjoyment, joy, delight from beauty. It has been established that the process of perception or direct creativity of art are characterized by a combination of a goal and means, where the means develop into the goal, and the goal is the process itself when spiritual, functional and aesthetic needs of the individual are met, i.e. a person reaches a certain level in their activity when they create products and forms of cultural activity that meet more and more of their needs. The paper outlines that an emerging aesthetic need motivates a music teacher to create conditions and means for achieving satisfaction with their own creative activities, because an aesthetic need is a desire of a future music teacher to harmonize the internal and external world as well as development of aesthetic awareness of the world: to perceive and appreciate the beauty, to live and create according to the laws of beauty.
