Classicist Development of FATHER-SON Topos in “The Adventures of Telemachus” by Fénelon

This article analyzes the “father-son” topos in “The Adventures of Telemachus” by Fénelon in relation to the cultural-historical situation and philosophical-aesthetic achievements of the 17th century. It explores the complex interactions of mythological motifs and the results of their individual-authorial artistic embodiment in Fénelon’s novel. The basis for understanding the “father-son” topos in a new anthropological paradigm is revealed, focusing on the image of the evolving individual capable of justifying the historical possibility of a more rational social structure. The influence of the philosophical and ethical situation of the era on the interpretive characteristics of the topos in the novel is determined. The evolution of the traditional archaic image of the epic hero is traced with a shift in roles. It is argued that the novel depicts not only traditional mythological tests of strength but also new “psychological” tests arising from changes in the philosophical-ethical situation: loneliness, love, power. The study’s novelty lies in identifying the author’s ideological stance shaping the topos “the ruler’s love for his people as for a son.” The research confirms the thesis of the determining influence of worldview attitudes of the era and cultural coordinates on the historical fate of the topos as a literary phenomenon.

Materialism as a worldview position. The second article is about the missing requirement for scientific theories and the ideological vulnerability of the basic ideas of non-classical physics.

The subject of this study is materialism, understood in the broadest sense of this concept: both as a philosophical doctrine and as a way of life corresponding to a certain worldview position. The aim is to clarify the objective role of this worldview position in various fields of human activity. At the center of the research is the question of the essence of materialistic ideas about the world hiding behind the sensually given reality to man. The study consists of two parts, published in separate articles. The first part is devoted to the origins of the materialistic worldview and the main question of philosophy, and in this, its second part, the question of the philosophical problems of non-classical physics is considered, the root of these problems is revealed, a comparative worldview analysis of the basic concepts of classical and non-classical physics is carried out and the overall result of the research is summarized. The methodology of this research is the principle of materialistic monism, according to which absolutely all phenomena of the human-cognizable world can be based only on something material, "influencing". The general conclusions of this study are as follows: the roots of the materialistic worldview go back to the origins of life, to such a condition of successful vital activity of living beings, which is inherently ideological; this condition, called by the author the Main Question of Life, is the historical forerunner of the Main Question of Philosophy; the worldview position, equivalent to the materialistic solution of the OVF, is inherent in the vital activity of absolutely all living beings; all people in their daily and practical activities are born materialists. In addition, this study clarifies the idea of the essence of materialistic teaching; shows the exclusivity of the materialistic worldview as the only true worldview; provides a refined definition of the concept of matter; proves the need to shift the "center of gravity" of modern materialistic teaching from dialectics to the principle of materialistic monism; formulates the missing requirement for scientific theories to ensure their ideological viability; shows the ideological inconsistency the main ideas of the new, non-classical physics.

Student Youth in the Space of Historical Practices and Narratives (Regional Dimension)

Introduction. The importance of exploring the specificity of shaping the historical memory among young people is due to the fact that it is this age that is crucial in the formation of worldview attitudes and civic identity. In modern geopolitical conditions, when the falsification of historical events of Russia's past takes place, the analysis of the factors of studentsʼ involvement in the space of historical practices and narratives that influence the formation of their historical memory is especially important. The aim of the article is to measure the level of students' involvement in the space of historical practices and narratives on the basis of quantitative and qualitative sociological research data; to identify the factors influencing the historical memory of student youth in the Republic of Mordovia. Materials and Methods. The empirical basis of the study constituted the findings derived from 20 semi-structured interviews with young people between 18 and 25 years old, as well as the results of an online survey held among university and secondary educational institutions learners in the Republic of Mordovia (n = 700). Multistage composite sampling. Results. Based on cluster analysis, three groups of student youth were identified according to the level of involvement in the space of historical practices and narratives. The relationship between belonging to a specific cluster and socio-demographic factors is presented: gender, level of education and place of residence turned out to be significant. Among the factors influencing the level of involvement in historical practices and narratives are cognitive interest in history, family memories, and active use of media. It has been established that the significance of these factors in shaping the historical memory of young people may vary. The most significant factors are historical education (at secondary school, vocational education institution, university), the role of teacher as a mediator of historical knowledge, as well as the continuity and depth of family memory. Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study determine the factors of student youth involvement in the space of historical practices and narratives and supplement the sociological understanding of the processes of constructing the historical memory. The materials of the article may be of interest to specialists engaged in patriotic education, historical education of youth, practitioners involved in the development of youth policy.

Significance of a written text in human activities

Thinking activity is realized in different forms and provides the process of cognition of objective reality and its personal determination. One of the most widespread forms of thinking activity realization, which at the same time allows to present the versatility and uniqueness of a human’s personality, is a written text. A written text can be considered as the final product of a person’s thinking activity, which reflects his personal and intellectual level of development, is a socialization indicator and serves as a kind of guide to the diverse world of personal realization and a kind of the author’s written avatar. The text has special properties that allow to “connect” several complex, multifaceted, dynamic spheres such as the surrounding reality, life and professional experience of a person, their worldview, images of the past, present, future, etc. The connection of language, speech activity and written text, as well as their possibilities to reflect the uniqueness of a person and their activity have been considered. The main communicative tools of a written text have been characterized that allow it to freely overcome time and space, providing the connection between generations and clarifying, bringing to the recipients’ consciousness the author’s personal, conceptual, aesthetic and worldview attitudes, his position, views and the described events assessment.

Феномен справедливості як правової цінності: науковий дискурс сучасного розуміння

The article clarifies the determining features of justice as a legal value through the prism of modern legal understanding. It is noted that justice is one of the most important problems of our time, which reflects the extremely complex dialectical processes of the legal development of global society. As a value, it forms the worldview attitudes of society, people's vision of their future, their eternal aspirations for harmony and perfection of social relations. And also allows to comprehensively understand the meaning and content of modern processes of state and law-making. Four criteria of justice in the legal dimension are singled out: 1) equality; 2) distinction; 3) ideas of humanism; 4) systematicity. The phenomenon of justice as a legal value is revealed and its dynamic nature and relative constancy of the criteria for its definition in the legal dimension are noted, which is caused by real changes in the political life of society, legal matter, economy, etc. It is natural that all evolutionary and transformational processes within society significantly affect the general perception of justice or injustice, as well as the criteria for their assessment. That is, the understanding of justice has a specific historical, socio-cultural and political-legal context, and depends on the constantly changing social life. It is concluded that justice occupies a decisive place in the integral system of legal values. It reflects the practical side of the implementation of law as an effective regulator of social relations, a tool that has a powerful human-creating potential. Through legal means, legal institutions, justice embodies the high purpose of law, its humanistic nature.

Философия природы в мировоззрении В.Ф. Эрна

The article presents the natural philosophical views of the bright representative of Russian religious philosophy Vladimir Fedorovich Ern. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the Russian philosopher opposes two mutual-ly exclusive worldview positions in understanding nature: meonism and ontologism. Meonism manifested itself in radical rationalism, which perceives nature exclusively as dead schemes; utilitarianism, which regards na-ture only from the point of view of momentary practical benefit; cardinal pantheism, which is engaged in mixing nature and God, without actually recognizing their subjectivity; solipsism, for which nature is just a bundle of sensations; and even Kantianism, for which the gap between phenomena and noumena is absolutely fatal. The main epistemological task of the genuine philosophy of logism, according to V.F. Ern, is the elimination of separation from Nature as Being. The most important source of the logistic worldview of nature is the Orthodox East, according to V.F. Ern. The same truth is revealed in nature as in the Holy Scriptures, and the truth can be extracted from nature even without a written revelation. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the philosophy of nature by V.F. Ern remains relevant in the modern world. The Russian thinker paid great at-tention to the search for the philosophical origins of human interaction with nature. In the modern world, a per-son faces serious environmental problems, but this is only a consequence of various variants of meonism, dis-closed in detail by V.F. Ern in his works.

Personality development of the future teacher through the formation of stem competences

The article reveals the specifics of training future teachers for educational activities through the formation of STEM competencies. The article deals with the topical issue of personality development of the future teacher using the STEM approach to the education process. The article examines the influence of the formation of STEM competences on the professional readiness of teachers for modern challenges. The key aspects of the process of forming STEM competencies in the future teacher are highlighted, such as the integration of science, technology, the natural-scientific picture of the world, worldview positions using a transdisciplinary approach to the educational process, promoting the development of critical thinking and creative skills of future teachers. The study points to the importance of considering STEM competencies for the training of future teachers, ensuring their successful integration into the educational environment. In the system of training future teachers, an important aspect is the readiness to work in the conditions of modern realities of educational challenges. That is why the development of STEM competencies in future teachers is an integral part of the modern educational paradigm. By ensuring the integration of science, technology, and life values into the educational process, the training of future teachers becomes more adaptable to the requirements of modern society and real life. This approach contributes to the formation of critical thinking, creative abilities and readiness for the challenges of the modern educational environment in future teachers.

The role of external components of the speech act in a provocative psychotherapy session

The article analyzes the external speech act components in the session of provocative psychotherapy and characterizes their functional roles. The aim of the paper is to study the process of speech interaction between a psychotherapist and his patient from the perspective of implicit pragmalinguistics, to identify relevant factors that realize the speaker’s intentions to influence the listener, to determine the conditions for their implementation. The relevance of highlighting the designated range of problems is explained by the interest to them of both highly specialized doctor engaged in pragmalinguistics, and the general public - people who want to know the process of speech creation, capable of readjusting the thinking process and/or behavior of a person requiring psychological help. The study is based on the classification of external components of an act of speech highlighted in 1975 by D.H. Hymes: speaker, listener, message form, topic, code, communication channel and setting. These components were studied by the authors from the position of latent pragmalinguistics on the basis of medical discourse of the psychotherapeutic genre, so variant denotations were given for the speaker and the listener: the speaker is the sender of the text or the psychotherapist; the listener is the receiver of the text or the patient. The study of the external components functionality of the speech act was based on R. Jakobson’s works devoted to this topic. Studying the external components function of a speech act in psychotherapy, the authors come to the conclusion that each of them is subordinated to the common goal of any speech creation - to influence the interlocutor (in our case - the patient) implicitly, to transform the destructive worldview attitudes and to induce him to a certain speech act. Such an effect is carried out by means of actualization of grammatical forms, common for both participants of speech interaction.

Либеральная интеллигенция в рос- сийском революционном процессе начала XX века как предмет научного изучения

The article explores recent research on the role of the liberal intelligentsia in the revolutionary process in the Russian Empire of the early 20th century. Drawing on the works of Russian scholars published between 2016 and 2020, which coincide with the centenary of the Great Russian Revolution, the study sheds light on the participation of liberal intelligentsia in revolutionary events, and reveals the dynamics of the worldview position of representatives of the thinking elite. The works of V.V. Shelokhaev, V.P. Buldakov, F.A. Gaida, V.A. Shchipkov and others are considered. The authors selected studies that analyze the reasons for the collapse of the liberal idea in difficult historical conditions and the termination of the participation of representatives of liberal intelligentsia in the revolutionary process, which determines the relevance of this study. In the study of the historiography of the issue, studies were identified, in which, firstly, it was shown, that the democratic ideas of the representatives of the liberal thinking elite did not find understanding and response from the majority, since they did not correspond to the values traditional for the society of that time. Additionally, recent studies indicate that there was no tendency towards consolidation among Russian liberal intelligentsia, resulting in a failure to provide clear for the majority and concrete answers to the challenges of the time. As a result, the liberal intelligentsia gradually became an outside participant in the revolutionary process.

Education of a valuable attitude to the Motherland in the context of the formation of the socio-cultural world of a preschool child

Today's realities require the development of effective methods and systems for raising a valuable attitude to the Motherland in preschoolers. Ukrainian society united for the sake of peace, freedom, independence. Our people showed a high national consciousness, love for their native land, the Motherland, showed a high level of patriotism. National education, as an important factor in ensuring state policy regarding national and cultural values, should focus considerable attention on the education of national and patriotic feelings of the younger generation. The analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature showed that fostering a valuable attitude to the Motherland is an urgent problem of modern education, since a democratic, independent state needs citizens with a strong national position, a sense of dignity and responsibility for the future of the native people. In this context, great importance is attached to folk pedagogy as a source of inexhaustible energy of folk wisdom, dignity, indomitability, strength. Purpose. Theoretically substantiate a harmonious system of education of a valuable attitude to the Motherland in preschoolers by means of folk pedagogy. The article discusses the topical issue of the importance of fostering a valuable attitude to the Motherland, which is determined by development trends and the realities of modern society. The author emphasizes the need to form worldview positions of a growing personality by means of folk pedagogy, active involvement of preschool children in the values of our society. Methods. Literature analysis, analogy, induction and deduction, questionnaire. Results. The theoretical aspects of fostering a valuable attitude to the Motherland are analyzed, the need to be based on national and universal values, traditions, culture, and the long-term heritage of folk pedagogy is emphasized. The modern trends of preschool education, which are based on the implementation of innovative technologies and integrated approaches to the formation and development of the child's personality, are characterized, the importance of relying on national culture, the values of folk pedagogy and ethnopedagogy of the native people is emphasized. According to the results of the theoretical analysis, we determined that folk pedagogy is the golden fund of scientific pedagogy, however, priority is given to folk education, which unites character, psychological features, mentality, traditional family culture. Therefore, it is expedient to define the peculiarities of the education of a valuable attitude towards the Motherland in preschool children: - the innate nature of national feelings, which is embedded in the child's psyche at the genetic level and is revealed subconsciously in each individual; - national feelings are most clearly manifested and organically formed in preschool age. Summarizing the results of scientific research on the education of a valuable attitude to the Motherland in the context of the formation of the socio-cultural world of a preschool child, it is appropriate to pay attention to the clarified conceptual meaning of the phenomenon under study. We define a valuable attitude to the Motherland as an active orientation of the individual to the national identity of the surrounding environment, which is due to the mastery of national and cultural values and the ability to implement national and cultural values in one's own activities and life. Originality. The novelty of the work consists in substantiating the main trend of national-patriotic education, which is based on the formation of a valuable attitude of the individual to his people, their culture, traditions, and values. National identity is formed under the influence of purposeful education by means of folk pedagogy and is based on state and national values. Conclusion. Value attitude is the subject's position in the system of social and cultural relations, which characterize the needs of the individual, his interests and ideals. Valuable attitude reveals the desire of the individual, it is always emotionally colored and has a meaningful connection of the individual with the objects of the surrounding world

Влияние идей К. Д. Ушинского на современную практическую психологию

The article attempts to trace the connection between the worldview positions and attitudes of Konstantin Dmitrievich Ushinsky and modern scientific ideas in the field of practical psychology. It is noted that a new round of interest in the ideas of the great Russian teacher is due to conceptual changes in domestic education, understanding the problems and priorities of its development, and the search for new models and strategies for pedagogical interaction. The object of the study is the problems of man, dialogue and artistic creativity in the legacy of Ushinsky and in modern psychological practice. The influence of the ideas of Ushinsky is noted both in the course of accumulation and systematization of knowledge about a person, and in the process of building psychological anthropology. It is considered how the problem of the influence of one personality on another in the legacy of Ushinsky develops in the dialogical approach of T.A.Florenskaya, based on the spiritual and moral guidelines that have been established over the centuries and are inextricably linked with the traditions of Russian philosophical thought. Particular attention is paid to dialogue, which is understood as a creative, spiritually transformative communication. The constitutive principles and basic concepts of a spiritually oriented dialogue are considered. The vector of personal development of a person in the conditions of internal dialogue is indicated and the consequences in the situation of its deformation are named. The influence of Ushinsky's idea about the role of artistic creativity on modern art therapy practice, which combines various types of art with therapeutic, correctional and developmental goals, is shown. The reasons why artistic creativity is necessary for the full personal development of the child are listed. It is concluded that the problems of a person, dialogue, artistic creativity, which worried the great Russian teacher, remain the epicenter in the field of modern scientific and practical research. The ideas of the great thinker are not copied, but continue to live, develop, be rethought and creatively transformed.

ЕПІСТОЛЯРІЙ О. ГАЙ-ГОЛОВКА ЯК РЕКОНСТРУКЦІЯ БІОГРАФІЇ ПИСЬМЕННИКА

The article is dedicated to exploring the peculiarities of creating an epistolary portrait of O. Hai-Holovko against the background of the era. The epistolary heritage serves as an inexhaustible source that remains open and requires careful examination to this day. The article notes that over several decades, Hai-Holovkocorresponded with literary scholars, writers, and public fi gures of Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora, including P. Mykhailyshyn, V. Matsko, V. Chumachenko, P. Soroka, S. Fostun, V. Chaplenko. The analysis of preserved letters from the writer has allowed us to reconstruct, in chronological sequence, milestones in the artist’s life path: childhood and youth, during which the codes of personal behavior were established; the early period of life and creativity associated with turmoil abroad, the search for a better fate; the era of the Ukrainian Renaissance of the 1920s-30s and its suppression by the Bolshevik regime; Bolshevik imprisonment, Nazi Gestapo, and fi nally, emigration. All his life experiences urged Hai-Holovko to reassess his worldview positions, ideas, perspectives, and to embark on the path of struggle for Ukraine’s national lib-eration. Literary scholars affi rm that epistolary sources attest to the writer’s ceaseless service to Ukrainian culture under challenging circumstances. The article not only traces the creation of an epistolary portrait of O. Hai-Holovko against the background of the era but also focuses on the characteristics of Ukrainian diaspora fi gures with whom he communicated and collaborated, among them renowned Ukrainian poets and writers such as Olzhych, Teliha, Samchuk, Malanyuk, Barka, and others. The documentary testimonies of O. Hai-Holovko regarding his relationship with Ivan Ohienko are particularly valuable; they touch upon the latter years of the metropoli-tan’s life, illustrating his missionary activity and serving as testimony to his selfl essness. The study reveals the specifi cs of creating Hai-Holovko’sepistolary portrait against the background of the eras – the horrifi c mass killings of Ukrainians by mos-cow (the Holodomor of 1932-1933), World War II, and the period of his emigration.

Features of Transformation of Worldview Attitudes among Russian Youth in the Context of Geopolitical Conflict

Drawing from nationwide surveys conducted between 2006 and 2023, this study illustrates the specific transformation of worldview attitudes among Russian youth aged 18-24 compared to the general population. This transformation occurs within the context of the global confrontation between Russia and the collective West. The analysis focuses on the clash between two ideological positions: advocates for a Western-oriented path of development for Russia and proponents of civilisational sovereignty, advocating for a unique developmental path for the country. The examination revolves around three groups of indicators:
 1. Perceptions of the country's development path and its position in the world (indicators: perceptions of the necessity and priorities of changes within the country; ideas about Russia's place in the world; assessment of the path Russia is following).
 2. Views on societal structure (ideas about an ideal model for human-state-society relations; desired image of the future Russia).
 3. Life values and attitudes (prioritisation of individual interests versus societal interests; perspectives on actions required to achieve personal goals).
 The conclusion drawn is that the new phase of societal transformations in Russia, beginning with the onset of special military operations in Ukraine in February 2022, presented a significant challenge to Russian society as a whole, particularly impacting the youth aged 18-24. The primary vector of events, marked by heightened confrontation between Russia and the West, conflicted with the worldview perceptions of the youth. A considerable part of the youth was oriented toward a model of country development resembling contemporary Western societies, embracing liberal-democratic principles in state governance, and seeking opportunities to shape life strategies within a transnational environment. However, based on the data from 2023, the potential bifurcation point in the mindsets of the youth has been passed. The emerging divergence in attitudes among 18-24-year-old Russians from the overall trend in societal mood is diminishing. There is a reduced demand for change, reaching its lowest point, and the level of trust in key government representatives is at or below the corresponding indicators for the general population. Instead, there appears to be a shift toward more intricate processes of adaptation among the youth aged 18-24 to the current situation. They seem to be searching for compromises between their previously held attitudes and the changing reality they face.

Стихосбирката „Пролетен вятър“ от Никола Фурнаджиев – авангард и „родно“

The article offers an insight into the entanglement between the avantgarde modernist principles of image and the Bulgarian aesthetic-ideological idea of the “native” from the 20s of the 20th century, realized by Nikola Furnadzhiev in the collection of poems “Spring Wind” from 1925. The reasoning is based on correspondences between the imagery in the paintings of the period and that in the poetic works from the poetry collection. The artistic suggestion achieved on their basis in “Spring Wind” illustrates an important aspect of Bulgarian avant-garde modernism as an aesthetic phenomenon, in which, although not yet fully described, European avant-garde aesthetic ideas and worldview attitudes are connected with the native ideological and aesthetic tradition. As a result of this relationship, in the entire literary field of the period, specific artistic modernist manifestations are obtained, through which Bulgarian literature in the years between the two world wars fits into the general European artistic process of intense search for an existential perspective before the post-war man and the corresponding aesthetic paths for achievement set through the creative efforts of a new post-war generation of artists. The inclusion of Furnadzhiev‘s poetry collection in this artistic practice has a decisive contribution to the expansion of pictorial experimentation and establishes its literary-aesthetic importance.

Image of “Fallen Woman” in Novels of G. Fallada’s “Wolf Among Wolves” and F. M. Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”: Comparative Analysis

The image of the “fallen woman” in the novels of G. Fallada’s “Wolf Among Wolves” and F. M. Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” is examined. Traces of the literary influence of the Russian classic on the poetics of the German writer’s novel at the thematic and character levels are identified. It is established that the key motif in both works is the theme of moral resurrection of the fallen individual. It is shown that, in addressing the problem of the “humiliated and insulted”, both authors incorporate the image of the “fallen woman” into the system of characters in their novels. It is noted that the writers pay special attention to the reasons for her social downfall. Through the use of comparative-historical analysis, parallels in the images of “fallen” women presented in these works — Petra Ledig and Sonya Marmeladova — are identified. The author of the article concludes that the heroines share a number of common features: Christian semantics of their names, moral purity despite physical vice, a tendency towards selfsacrifice, great inner strength despite outward timidity, a desire to show mercy, the ability to motivate their loved ones towards spiritual rebirth and thereby “rebirth” themselves. The results of the study allow to demonstrate the significance of F. M. Dostoevsky’s humanistic ideas for the aesthetic principles and worldview position of G. Fallada in the novel “Wolf Among Wolves”.

Об идейно-мировоззренческих установках П.П. Ершова (на материале приветственных стихов царским особам)

As the research material the salutatory poems to the tsarist persons written by P.P. Ershov on the occasion of the official visit of representatives of the Romanov dynasty to Tobolsk are considered: “To the Sovereign Heir on His Arrival in Tobolsk” (1837; visit to Tobolsk by Tsesarevich Alexander Nikolaevich, the future Alexander II), “To His Imperial Highness Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich on the Occasion of His Arrival in Western Sibe-ria” (1868; arrival in Tobolsk of Alexander II's son). In order to reveal the author’s ideological and worldview attitudes, the salutatory poems are interpreted as occasional works and part of the ceremonial of the official meeting of the members of the tsarist family in the context of P.P. Ershov’s creative biography, life path and in comparison, with the concept of the literary fairy tale “The Humpbacked Horse” (1834). This approach allows to clarify the writer’s attitude to the monarchical power (idea). It is argued that the concept of renewal of national life on sound moral principles, laid by young P. Ershov in the people-oriented world of literary fairy tales and coordinated with the idea of divine responsibility of the monarchical power, finds development in the poems of 1837, 1868.

THE HISTORICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS OF ORTHODOXY IN THE CREATIVE HERITAGE OF P. YEVDOKIMOV

The article provides a general overview of the philosophical and epistemological vision of P. Yefremov’s views on the Orthodox worldview. The subject field of onto­gnoseological, methodological and anthropological components of P. Yevdokimov’s worldview position is outlined. The position of the thinker regarding the philosophical and theological components of the genesis of Orthodox doctrine is determined. P. Yevdokimov’s attempts to define the peculiarities of epistemological traditions of human cognition of the animal world and non­commodity God in the Eastern branch of Christianity are emphasized. The author analyzes the thinker’s reflections on the relationship between denominations in Christianity on the basis of ancient Greek philosophy and the theological tradition of the first five centuries. The author emphasizes the special role of Jewish and Byzantine cultures, as well as the teachings of Plato and Aristotle in this process. The eschatological characterization of Christianity in the views of P. Yevdokimov as a basis for understanding the mystical and sacred nature of the Creator’s dialogue with man and the world was considered. The issues of the methodological dimension of human cognitive capabilities are highlighted on the example of apophatic and cataphatic ways of comprehending the image of God. A descriptive and comparative analysis of these methods is carried out, their weaknesses and strengths are highlighted, as well as the impact of these methods on the Orthodox culture of thinking in general. P. Yvdokimov’s desire to point out the mystical and sacred nature of the dialogue between man and the Creator in the Christian worldview is emphasized. The author traces the creative attempts of the French thinker to include in his analysis a number of new concepts and their author’s content, which form our understanding of the semantic image of his philosophy. The author emphasizes the special philosophical status of man (as a subject of cognition) in the cognitive element of the human spirit, as a witness, commentator, participant and interpreter. The problem of love is revealed through an epistemological component, the important elements of which are the concepts of «heart» and «asceticism». This emphasizes the role of the monastic experience of Christianity in the formation of the Orthodox tradition of thinking. P. Yevdokimov’s view on a special way of interpreting the Holy Scriptures and the patristic heritage – through feelings, as a form of exegesis, which the thinker calls «the instincts of Eastern Orthodoxy» is studied.

THE PROBLEM OF DEFINING THE WORLDVIEW PARADIGM OF GRIGORY SKOVORODA’S PHILOSOPHY (CRITICAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS)

The article attempts to define a worldview paradigm in the philosophy of H. Skovoroda. In historical and philosophical studies, there is a certain difference of opinion regarding the evaluation of the main provisions of the Ukrainian’s enlightener philosophy. Scientists emphasize the manifestations of pantheism, dualism, pluralism and mysticism in the work of H. Skovoroda. This is a palette of mutually exclusive definitions of the main philosophies of the thinker.The conducted critical analysis of the Skovoroda’s philosophical heritage allows us to reveal the deistic direction of his worldview positions. However, compared to the conceptual presentation of deism by the founder of the French Enlightenment of the 18th century, F. Walter, the philosophical deistic positions of H. Skovoroda have their own characteristics. The deistic tendencies of Walter’s worldview are based on the principles of rationalism. They permeate the foundations of his theoretical and practical philosophy. The Ukrainian enlightener’s principle of deism is based on manifestations of the highest divine wisdom. They include rational forms of existence and knowledge, spiritual and practical, moral foundations of human existence.

Философское «поле» конфессионализации в России: русская религиозная философия XIX в. между «официальной» церковностью и политическими теологиями

The article explores the history of Russian religious philosophy of the 19th century as a part of the history of Christianity in Russia. Such a point of view becomes possible if we analyze how Russian religious philosophers criticize the religious attitudes of the “official” Orthodox Church and secular worldview attitudes. Secular attitudes are considered in the article as “political theologies” that “continued” religion in a secular society by secular means and for secular purposes. Criticism of the “official” ecclesiality and political theologies allows us to say that Russian religious philosophers, starting from the 19th century, initiated a process that was structurally similar to the process of confessionalization in the Reformation era. Within the framework of the “hermeneutic wars” they defended their unique type of religiosity, which can be defined as “the religiosity of intellectuals”. It is through the prism of the confessionalization process that consideration of the history of Russian religious philosophy as part of the history of Christianity in Russia becomes possible; confessionalization is associated with religious conversion, which is common to most Russian religious philosophers. It is concluded that the legitimation of one's own religiosity as genuine is the main goal of Russian religious philosophers, and they use philosophy as a means for this legitimation. This legitimation is proposed to be understood as a perlocutionary aspect of Russian religious philosophy, if we consider it according to the approach of the Cambridge School of Intellectual History. Criticism, in the course of which Russian religious philosophers developed confessionalization activities, substantiating the inauthenticity of both “official” ecclesiality and political theologies, is proposed to be considered an illocutionary, warning aspect of Russian religious philosophy.

Религиозные и социокультурные процессы в интеграции современных обществ (аналитический обзор социокультурного взаимодействия религиозных и нерелигиозных россиян)

The editorial article presents some problems of mutual understanding be- tween religious and non-religious Russians in a complicated socio-cultural situation. The value foundations of mutual understanding and dialogue between representatives of different worldview positions are considered as the foundation of social consolida- tion in modern society; the interrelation of morality and religion as its "protective" institute is characterized; the principles of dialogue between believers and non-believ- ers are outlined, the most important of which is the scientifically and pedagogically equipped mutual understanding of believers and non-believers on decisive cultural, political and ethical categories and values; substantiated the most important stages of its development.
