“Beilis affair” is one of the most resonate events in Kyiv of the early 20 th century. It was a subject of a huge number of investigations. However, a special analysis of the role that the members of Kyiv Theological Academy community played in this affair has not been made yet. Facts and data available require further reflections and deeper interpretations. For this, both a time span and a thematic content should be expanded. Thus, the author tries to reveal the (...) specifics of the discourse wherein the members of the community were predisposed to interpret both “Beilis affair” and “Jewish question” as a whole. The materials published in “Kyiv Theological Academy Studies” journal throughout all years of its existence in pre-revolutionary Russia constitute the main source of information. In the study, the author tries to widen another researcher’s idea that “Beilis affair” became a unique case of the dialogue between Christians and Jews. The article shows that the foundations for this dialogue had been created in the previous years by many Kyiv Theological Academy community members, such as Andrii Khoinatskyi, Fedir Ornatskyi, Vasyl Pevnytskyi, Afanasii Bulhakov, Dmytro Bohdashevskyi, Olexandr Voronov, Mykola Stelletskyi, Viktor Ivanytskyi, Hryhorii Malevanskyi, Akym Olesnytskyi, and others. This experience as well as perfect knowledge of the European and world context, which the members of Kyiv Theological Academy intellectual community such as Olexandr Hlaholiev and Pavlo Tykhomyrov had, enabled them to make a real impact on the establishment of the dialogue between Christians and Jews in particular in the “Beilis affair”.

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.

В статті дається аналіз методики викладання геоцінностей у процесі вивчення соціогуманітарних наук, зокрема таких як, соціальна філософія, культурологія, психологія, соціологія, історія та інші, які мають ряд підрозділів і субструктурних елементів соціогуманітарних наук. Кожна з вище перерахованих наук вивчає свої специфічні особливості геокультури, яка об’єднує іноземних студентів, проте вносить свій певний національний колорит. Саме культура є тим об’єднавчим механізмом, який може згуртувати іноземних студентів і інтегрувати їх у певну спільноту.

The research analyzes peculiarities of militarization/demilitarization of the world as one of modern tendencies of international relations. Authors emphasize that despite the existence of a bipolar international system and tough confrontation between the two superpowers, the international community attempted to limit inflence of the military factor in international relations. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the collapse of a bipolar system, there was hope that the process of demilitarization would become more intense, making the world less aggressive and (...) more secure. Such expectations, according to the authors, were not unfounded, because at the early 21st century the clearly processes of demilitarization were observed. Russian aggression against sovereign Ukrainian state is considered by authors as the event that could become a turning point which will certify the beginning of militarization processes. According to the authors, this can be explained by several reasons, as the aggression has shown the following features: the rules of law fail to operate against the brute military force; any nonnuclear country in the world has no guarantees for its own security; reliable guarantee against the aggressive actions can only be provided via state’s own military power; there are still many security threats in the world, so the military factor should not be neglected. The situation is reinforced by events in the Middle East, the intensifiation of international terrorism, etc. Authors emphasize that it is still quite early to talk about trends to militarization in the world, as too little time has passed already. While still the series of events shows that many of the foundations for future militarization have already laid. However, the authors stress that development of events in Ukraine and the Middle East will have crucial inflence on the transformation of the impact of military factor in international relations. With the successful resolution of these conflcts the returning of the international community on the path of demilitarization can be expected. In the case of escalating of mentioned conflcts, it will lead to a signifiant increase in militarization of the world. (shrink)
