Abstract: The concept of simulacrum (derived from a Lain word simulacrum meaning image, resemblance, vision) is now considered to be of the “olden times”. It goes back to the ancient world at the very least. Simulacrum is an ideal model which becomes overgrown with all kinds of imitations. Sometimes the imitation resembles the original but more often it is no more similar and from that moment on we have to compare the model and a new item.

Abstract: Review: the presented work is a reviewing translation of an article by David Smillie ‘Sociobiology and Human Culture’, professor at New College of the University of South Florida. Smillie’s article can be of great interest to a professional reader since it contains a very useful idea allowing to take a new look at origination of some adaptive cognitive abilities in phylogenesis. For instance, comments of the translator show how that idea could be used in interpreting the logic of language formation. Key words: philosophy, culture, language, information, evolution, phylogenesis, ontogenesis, origin, adaptation, species

Abstract: Secret ritual societies of Tropical Africa are a relict of history and at the same time, an alternative to a modern state institution. The psychological mechanism of regulation of traditional relations can be autonomous and rather tolerant towards the central state institution and municipal authorities, at the best case, but it can also appear to be a mystifi ed foundation for the opposition, separatism and crime. The study of these societies allows us to specify and enrich a wide range of terms and concepts in social anthropology and philosophy of history.

Keywords: psychology, power, Africa, secret ritual societies, age brotherhoods, male and female unions, gerontocracy, totem, traditions

Abstract: The author of the article believes that a creative insight represents certain qualities of a person who creates an artwork. In order to prove it the author tries to show that the means of expression themselves reflect personality of an artist who uses these means to realize his creative quest and to achieve a cognitive, artistic and spiritual insight. The author analyzes the fundamental concepts which are directly related to the study of the thinking activity, in particular, such terms as ‘information’ and ‘idea’. Based on the author, the term ‘information’ better describes the processes of the ready or ‘ frozen’ knowledge while the term ‘idea’ more adequately renders the dynamics of finding and creating something new.

Keywords: psychology, creative work, genius, creativity, idea, information, corporeity, mentality, insight.

Abstract: German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was focused on the idea about the disruptiveness of human existence. In this life all of us have to be either a man or a woman. We do not have a chance to experience the entire, integrated experience of human existence. However, there is more to it than that. The matter is that culture is also becoming fragmentary and kaleidic. People who belong to one cultural layer have difficulty understanding those who belong to another cultural level. This particular article describes how Nietzsche interpreted Antique culture and what mistakes he made in his still genius interpretation.

Keywords: psychology, philosophy, antique times, apolloism, dionyseism, culture, myth, Hellenism, pessimism, tragedy.

Abstract: In his article Suetin describes the relationship between views on reality and development of science till the moment when classical science was created. The author analyzes idea of ancient and medieval philosophers as well as philosophers and scientists of the Modern Age comparing these ideas to the vector of scientific development. The author of the article also touches upon the question about the influence of religion and church and associated lifestyle on the development of classical science. In general, science is viewed as an essential instrument for understanding the reality, however, the classical variant of scientific tendencies is gradually shifting towards pragmatism and adoption of reality to human and society. The research is based, first of all, on ancient philosophy and religious philosophy as well a shistory and philosophy of science. Taking into account constructive factors of classical science, the author of the article analyzes the reasons and consequences of the negative tendencies of science. According to the author, the main problem of classical science is the excess rationalization and ignoration of the sensual-emotional factor and reflexion. Views on the reality do not encourage science any more but rather create obstacles for scientific development. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author views science from the point of vie wof emotional and sensual reflexion. According to the author, without taking into account emotional and sensual perception of the world, science cannot perceive the reality as it is but can only provide means of pragmatic use of the reality.

Abstract: In Western culture positive knowledge is confined to making reality fit scientific conceptions about mechanism or a system as a complex combination of homo- and heterogenic elements. More than that, evolution of mechanic theories and concepts (mechanism-organism-structure-system) quite often makes researches come to the conclusion about evolution of mechanism as well. Thus, epistemological invariant includes mechanical theory (in the broad meaning of the term), energetics and evolutionism, Based on the example of trans-disciplinary sphere between psychiatry, psychoanalysis, psychology, neurology and philosophy (which is called ‘psychophilosophy’ by the author), the author of the article shows how this epistemological variant applies to studying human psyche.
