Philosophy and Culture - rubric Cycles and tides in the global world

Abstract: throughout many centuries the white man has been considered the lord of Earth. Superpowers and economic giants have been mainly located in the Northern hemisphere, inhabited by the white population and ruled by white leaders. However, the white men have gained their control over the most parts of Earth just recently. They started to gain it 300-400 years ago when Europeans went beyond the borders of their own continent. Europeans discovered the New World, immediately conquered the Indians and occupied both North and South America. They became familiar with the trade route to India without touching Islam reigning in the Mediterranean region and continued to colonize Asia and Africa.

Abstract: The author examines the problem of evolution of the social and cultural institutions that emerge within the framework of implementing the project of “Information Society”. The subject of this research is the development trends, which ensure the process of humanization of the society. Information society is designed at two levels – the level visionaries and technical specialists, and the level of global politics, presented by the state leaders and transnational corporations. In both cases, the project of information society is the version of scientist utopia; however, the most noticeable trends underline the dystopian character of the nearest future. Therefore, it is so important to identify the trends towards humanization of the society, which became the result of the processes of establishment of information society. To the number of the determined humanistic trends of the development of information society the author refers the following: qualitative increase of the level of cooperation and self-organization of human communities; voluntarism and collective action; quality change in the monetization models of intellectual property and exclusive rights of the author; transition towards post-capitalistic exchange logic, for example, digital daronomics; growing control of civil society over the political sphere; information permeability of margins; work release; increasing the number of creative industry employees and scientific workers. The scientific novelty lies in actualization of the discourse of strong humanistic utopia in the context of social transformation, caused by the development and implementation of digital technologies.

Abstract: The object of the study is the process of globalization, the subject of the study is its impact on the structure of the art market and national artistic cultures. Based on the idea of a dialogical cultural model, which was adhered to by V. Bybler and M. Bakhtin, the author justifies the use of the term "dialogue of cultures" to characterize the processes taking place in the space of the modern art market. Special attention in the study is paid to the analysis of its structural transformations: according to the author, inclusivity, which primarily consists in the decentralization of the internal structure of the art market, is a key characteristic that allows to periodize its development into classical and modern stages. A special contribution of the author of the study is an in-depth analysis of exhibition projects: "Magicians of the Earth" by J.-Y. Martin, as well as "Cities in Motion" by H.-W. Obrist and H. Hanru. It is established how these projects aroused the interest of Western collectors in the exotic and changed the share of representation in the art market of non-European art. The main conclusion is that the process of globalization of the art market acutely poses the problem of deformation of the perception of cultural heritage: the appeal of the Western world to traditional cultures in the forms of cultural and art tourism leads to fragmentation and differentiation of once integral national artistic cultures.

Abstract: The author of the article studies the role of Fortune which influences our personal perception of the world and makes us strive for perfection. In an ontological aspect, it is one of the images of the antique idea of fate. In an anthropological aspect, it defines the role and the place of human in his society.

Abstract: The author of the article assumes that the problem of socio-cultural contradictions is one of the most important topics discussed by the world society and scientific community. Socio-cultural aspect of globalization as a complex socio-cultural process requires a special approach. If we study certain aspects of globalization in a framework of concrete disciplines, without taking into account the entire spectrum of socio-cultural transformations, it will lead to simplification and unilateral interpretation of one of the most complex phenomena which sources can be easily found in previous epochs but which influence on modern civilization has grown rapidly. Wide use of methods of integrated disciplines including global studies allows to take a new look at the efficiency of chosen guides. In this respect, considered opportunity to achieve certain forms of interaction between natural, social and cultural processes as conditions for further existence of the humankind may appear to be one of the basics. It shows that previous issues of philosophy and culture are growing more important today. However, it would be possible to describe the nature of the process of ‘condensation’ of interaction and entirety of the world, which also shows itself in agricultural and economic inter nationalization, intensification of information and communication connections, ethnocultural relations, only by the means of interdisciplinary research.

Abstract: The subject of this article is the concepts of nature and human in the works of the authors – representatives of environmentalism, and the philosophers and sociologists whose ideas were included into the context of the environmentalistic thought. The goal of this research is to demonstrate how these authors solve the task of overcoming the classical cognitive opposition of nature and culture, which allows the representatives of such direction to observe the entire system of human activity and the prospects of social development from the new angle. Special attention is given to the examination of the peculiarities of the modern European understanding of nature, which in many aspects determined the sway of living of a European person, as well as the logic of development of almost all elements of the human life. It is also illustrated how the modern European model of world perception, based on the subject-object model, is being surmounted within the contemporary environmentalistic thought. The article explores the philosophical grounds of the new ways of understanding of nature in environmentalism, as well as highlights the major disputes related to his topic. The scientific novelty consists in description of the philosophical foundations of environmentalism that are yet to be completed, and currently presented by several programs with certain advantages and disadvantages. The conclusion is made that within the framework of environmentalism there is an active process of search and formulation of the new principles of human and social existence, which imply the new ways of understanding of the human-nature relations, and the new types of social activity that include nature into the other contexts of human activity.

Abstract: The present article is devoted to the problems of the modern mankind. The author of the article makes an assumption that today's people are the last representatives of the humankind we are used to knowing, in other words, they are the humans of the epoch of Apocalypse. Such a situation is caused by the rapidly growing population of the planet, urbanization, scientific discoveries and consumer ethics of modern people. The research methodology involves analysis, synthesis, comparison, historical perspective and analysis of case studies. The novelty of the article is caused by the fact that so far very few researchers have studied the modern world in terms of the end of the world. The author of the article makes a hypothesis that the world is not only coming to Apocalypse but is actually experiencing Apocalypse already. However, the author assumes that it is some kind of a transfer of the humanity to a new stage of their development.

Abstract: The origins of scientific research globally planetary processes date back to V.I. Vernadsky, who considered scientific thought as a “planetary” (global) phenomenon. The development of modern globalistics and global studies, including an evolutionary perspective, is deployed in the light of scientific ideas, and in his writings the doctrine of the noosphere from the very beginning was formed in planetary perspective as a world noospheric globalism and in connection with this article discusses the modern transformation of the doctrine with the concept of sustainable development. The scientist predicted a fundamentally new process — the globalization of science, which is considered in the context of development and globalistics and global studies. The author of the article also discusses the status and location of global research in modern and future science.

Abstract: This article is dedication to examination of social development in interpretation of the philosophical concept of global constitutionalism. The author substantiates the position that between the notions of “globalization” and “social development” there is a link that allows accumulating the achievements of socio-philosophical concepts of the past and modernity regarding the question of determination of the basis of organization and activity of the society, as well as directions of its development. The accumulation of socio-philosophical knowledge allows identifying the global constitutionalism in the context of social development as systemic, carrying progressive character, process of globalization of socio-political, state-legal, and financial-economic organization and activity of the society on the international and national levels; while globalization itself as a natural status (stage) of development of the government-organized society of the capitalist era (its imperialistic stage). The conclusion is made that the social development within the framework of philosophy of the global constitutionalism, is completely subordinated to the logic of preservation and development of the world capitalist system, which allows retaining power and property in hands of the global ruling elites represented by the global ruling class.

Abstract: The subject of this article is the philosophical analysis of the artificial and natural in structural crises and social development. The goal of this work consists in the answer to the question about preservation of the natural component in social development and crisis phenomena, as well as role of the natural within modern social dynamics and anthropogenic crises. The author also analyzes the achievements in the area of overcoming crises and leveling of the cyclic fluctuations. The important part of the conducted analysis consists in the philosophical bases of economic theories that are associated with the cyclic development and crises phenomena. For the purpose of obtaining the set task, the article examines the key concepts of the leveling of cyclic fluctuations and practical results of their realization. In the result of this research it is determined that when humanity learns to overcome the structural crises of misbalances of the same type, the unresolved philosophical alongside moral-ethical issues, change the form of origination of the crises, but its conceptual content remains consistent. Naturalness of the crisis phenomena that takes its roots in human nature, in many ways supersedes the leveling of the cyclic fluctuations. Moreover, only the crises associated with the current level of development of society and technologies are relevant during the each of the eras of social development.
