У статті мова йде відносно аналізу категорій «загальнолюдське» та «класове» у широкому філософському та гуманістичному сенсі і відносно аспектів здійснення цих категорій стосовно до категорій «освіта» та «виховання» у вузькому сенсі. Розглядаються проблемні питання методології та діалектики взаємодії категорій «загальнолюдське» та «класове». Показується актуальність розробки принципів «субординованої діалектики» у нових умовах розвитку виховно-освітніх відношень. Також категорії «освіта» та «виховання» розглядаються, з одного боку, як конкретно-історичні, тобто класові, принципи формування особистості, а з другого боку, як конкретно-визначені стадії загальнолюдського процесу розвитку людини.

The global Peter Lombard research reinaugurated in 1990s has resulted in a number of recent publications, but the Master of the Sentences’ theology proper is partially underresearched. In particular, a more detailed exposition of the distinctions 35-41 of his Book of Sentences is needed in order to clarify his doctrine of God’s knowledge and its relation to the human free will. The article builds on the earlier established evidence that, for Peter Lombard in distinctions 35-38, God’s knowledge, in general, is (...) not causative, although some causative power has to be ascribed to God’s knowledge of the good. The last part of distinction 38 and the content of distinction 39 further analyze the capacities and functionalities of the divine omniscience and explain how it interacts with acts of human will. The key question here deals with the problem of alternative states of affairs: whether something may be otherwise than God foreknew. As it is shown, Master Peter agrees that it is possible for created things and events to be otherwise than they are, but insists that God’s knowledge must be in any case exhaustive and infallible. He uses a number of logical tools to defend the thesis about God’s perfect knowledge and the possibility of things happening otherwise, but lacks a strict definition of the notion of “possibility” used here. The study concludes that in few cases Lombard’s posse could mean a potency or a simple logical possibility, or the diachronic contingency, but the overall theological statement is clear: potentially, God’s knowledge can be different or include alternative state of affairs but it cannot change.

The European vector of development of modern Ukraine requires a new reconstruction of national history, which in turn makes it possible to make sure: this choice is not a conjuncture, but a completely natural, historically justified, nationally conscious one. Of course, in such a thematization, the question of the European fate of Ukraine coincides not only with political, but also with social, cultural, historical, religious and other aspects of research. It was in such a broad context that Mikhail Drahomanov, the (...) first “Ukrainian European”, thought. However, unlike modern reform theorists of the Soviet school, he considered spiritual and moral-ethical factors to be the most significant. (shrink)

The focus of philosophical research attention on the theoretical and, where appropriate, specifically applied problems of religion is a phenomenon immanent and unpersuasive. Its relevance is explained by the fact that the reflexiveness of philosophical thinking always determines the search for the answer to the basic worldview questions and aims at grasping the standards of wisdom. The history of human civilization is confirmed by the fact that one of the major worldview issues that bothers man is the question of life (...) and death, the meaning of human existence and the purpose of the world and, most often, in finding an answer to it, humanity turned to a religion that is vividly illustrated by the existence of the great the number of different doctrines and beliefs. It is no secret that a large number of people see in religion and the basis of wisdom, the ideological and axiological potential of its nurturing. Of course, this does not mean that within the human culture there is no attempt to find wisdom outside of religion and even against it. But in any case, it cannot be denied that the search for wisdom on the basis of religious outlook is historically natural, and even dominates spiritual culture in certain eras. (shrink)

The range of issues related to the origins of Christianity, the birth and formation of its doctrine, the existence of Christianity at an early, pre-conciliar stage, the problem of the identity of its founder, always concerned not only Christian scholars, not only those scholars who in one way or another were involved in them in their research, but society as a whole. However, in all of this, in Ukraine these problems are not well developed. Those researchers who are now engaged (...) in them, as they say, can "count on your fingers." For the most part, this gap in Ukrainian religious studies is still traditionally filled with information from former Soviet and contemporary Russian scientific publications, some foreign reprints, and the findings of Russian Christian scholars.

Purpose of the study is to shed light on the role of psychophysiology in the creative process, namely, the style corrections connected with pathological changes in the artist’s organism, deviating from empirical-descriptive methods. Theoretical basis of the study implies the interpretation of the notions style and disease not in their narrow professional limitation but from the standpoint of expanding the parameters of these concepts to philosophical dimensions. Based on the principle of analogy, the research findings prove that non-mimetic creative process (...) manifests itself exclusively in connection with a human from a bodily viewpoint through anthropological mimesis, which can program the propensity to certain capabilities of the individual organism. C. G. Jung was the first who pointed to the productivity of this method in his work "Theoretical Reflections on the Nature of the Psyche". The creativity phenomenon reflects not only "pure" psychology and the intellectual and spiritual component but also its relation to the artist as a physical being. It, outside its belonging to and being conditioned by transcendent factors, includes a quantitative aspect related to the moment of intensity. The disease acts to some extent as a stimulator of the production/change of aesthetic enzyme. In this context, the dialectic method is also effective because the subject of study cannot be comprehensively argued using naturalistic approaches only and requires a semantic explanation too. The essence of it is the logic of contradictions. In this case, the antinomy of matter-spirit plays a conceptual role in the projection on the plane of word-formation. Originality of the research findings is in the expansion of the causal relationship range of the creative process, namely the inclusion of the factor of psycho-physiological pathology into the system artist-work. This factor performs important stylistic functions. Conclusions. In contrast to scientific studies, where 1) style is analyzed separately and 2) the figure of the artist, this study argues the need to correlate these issues, taking them beyond descriptiveness to avoid schematics and one-dimensionality.

The discrete–structural structure of the world is described. In comparison with the idea of Heraclitus about an indissoluble world, preference is given to the discrete world of Democritus. It is noted that if the discrete atoms of Democritus were simple and indivisible, the atoms of the modern world indicated in the article would possess, rather, a structural structure. The article proves the problem of how the mutual connection of mathematics and philosophy influences cognition, which creates a discrete–structural worldview. The author (...) notes that the appearance of writing, symbolic language and the depiction of the picture of the world through mathematics, led us into the sphere of discrete mathematical mathematics.

The article analyzes the main provisions of the Robert Alexy’s philosophy of law as an integrated system, which at the same time remains open for further expansion of meanings. It demonstrates how the main motive of the Alexy’s philosophy of law – «the institutionalization of reason» as a combination of real and ideal dimensions of law in the institutions of liberal democracy – series takes place in the three components of his philosophicallegal system: the theory of legal argumentation, the theory (...) of constitutional rights and non-positivistic concept of law.Alexy’s non-positivist theory of law is based on the premise that there is a necessary link between the legal validity, or legal correctness, on the one hand, and moral acceptability or moral correctness on the other. This relationship is based on the dual nature of law: it has the actual dimension, defined by the authority and social efficiency, and ideal dimension that is moral correctness.The actual dimension of law is based on the need to ensure legal certainty and legal effectiveness. The argument from the ideal dimension of law is that the law imposes the claim to correctness. According to Alexy normative judgment is correct if and only if it is the result of rational practical discourse. Terms of discursive rationality determined through the principles, rules and forms of general practical discourse. Its procedural core makes up the rules guaranteeing the freedom and equality in the discourse, giving everyone the right to participate in it and the right to ask questions, and defend any point of view. The fact that the rules of discourse express the value of freedom and equality is the basis for the justification of human rights. This means that human rights are discursively necessary, and their objection is discursively impossible.Two dimensions of law are combined in an inclusive non-positivism, which claims that the moral defects deny the validity only if the limit of extreme injustice broken. Procedural aspects of connections positivity and correctness are realized in the form of democratic or discursive, constitutionalism, the main elements of which – democracy and constitutional rights.

Problem setting. Consideration of the basic contemporary mental characteristics of the Ukrainian people will make it possible to better understand the global perspective of the newest state building in Ukraine. Recent research and publications analysis. Mentality is thoroughly investigated by many scholars as a sociocultural phenomenon in all its diversity and complexity. Particular attention deserves works that explore the phenomenon of Ukrainian mentality in all its diversity. Paper objective. The purpose of this article is to identify the modern political and (...) mental characteristics of the Ukrainian people based on an analysis of its long-standing and recent historical experience. Paper main body. The article reveals the historical context and specific features of the modern political mentality of the Ukrainian people. The most important mental char- acteristics of Ukrainians are established using methods of historical description and sociological survey. Today, community-centeredness is a necessary mental lever for the process of decentralization, which thanks to the efforts of the central Ukrainian authori- ties led by the President of Ukraine P. O. Poroshenko is gaining momentum in modern Ukraine and has full support from the overwhelming majority of the population. This is the case when Ukrainians are typical Europeans for whom the efficient system of local self-government acts as the basis of the regime of the political polyarchy. The dominant factor in the specifics of the mental basis of Ukrainianity is long-term statelessness. This factor led to the emergence and existence of statist anomie as an integral part of the political mentality of the Ukrainian people. Non-government led to the apparent disunity of Ukrainian ethnic territories in time. The affiliation of the Ukrainian lands to the Austro-Hungarian, Russian empires, Czecho- slovakia, Poland, Romania influenced the traditions, life and culture of various groups of the Ukrainian people. For example, anarchism, collectivism and paternalism are considered to be decisive for the mentality of the Dnieper people, compared with the Galician national consciousness and identification in them is much weaker. On the other hand, the mentality of Galician Ukrainians was constantly in the field of Western European culture. An important role in the mental setting of this branch of the Ukrainian people was played by the Greek-Catholic Church, which is directly subordinate to the Pope. According to the overwhelming major- ity of specialists, the habitants of Galicia have more characteristic features such as respect for property, hard work, management skills, conservatism and individualism. In addition to the regional mental separation among Ukrainians, social mental het- erogeneity has always been manifested. It is a question of the existence of two main types of mental: the Cossack and peasant. The 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2014 Revolution of Dignity showed a complete rejection of dictatorial and authoritarian-voluntarist practices with modern Ukrainian mentality. Conclusions of the research. Conclusions are drawn: the modern political mentality of the Ukrainian people has a hybrid character ; in connection with the process of decentralization, the mental constant of Ukrainianity was updated; will and freedom have become existential imperatives for the vast majority of modern representatives of the Ukrainian people; a new, pro-Western activist type of mentality is gradually being born and spread; the national identity and the state character of the political consciousness of Ukrainianity crystallize.

The essence of social movements as a result of complicated social differentiation is considered. The evolution of social movements in Ukraine since the middle of the 19th century till today is analyzed. A special attention is paid to civil movements of the Soviet times and their future in independent Ukraine. The development of political movements is divided into five periods according to the history of Ukraine. The author underlines that civil movements in Ukraine have always engaged different groups of society, (...) not only nobility and bourgeoisie, but also professors, merchants, workers and even peasants. The division of Ukrainian lands between different states was a destructive factor for social self-organization, but political leaders managed to mobilize citizens even within the conditions of wars and repressions. The social movements of the past made possible the existence of Ukrainian nation as an ethnic and political commonwealth. The purpose of the article is to describe the main tendencies of the development of Ukrainian civil movements. The ethnic, economic, religious and political dimensions of movements are considered. The author pays attention to the development of political movements in Ukrainian lands under foreign occupation: Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian. The reaction of the authorities is also analyzed. A special attention is paid to political activity during the Second World War, when Ukrainian citizens organized themselves to defend their lives and civil rights. The information support of social movements is considered. The propaganda policy and mass communication of Ukrainian movements in different times is described. Modern social movements often succeed the Soviet ones. Some of them transform to political parties, like Narodnyi Rukh and Pora. Some movements are free from politics and are formed to defend nature or special groups of citizens. In the article the role of mass media and Internet in modern social activity is underlined. According to the article, civil movements use Internet to multiply their support. The legislative aspects of civil movements` functioning are considered. The author concludes that Ukrainian civil movements have made a great deal in obtaining independence by our country. (shrink)
