Both novels are controversial and difficult to interpret due to their critique of the cultural, philosophical, and religious dimensions of the aestheticization of sexuality and gender from the perspective of human freedom and individuality. Our goal is to discover how both writers address this problem indirectly but openly, using irony, to show the insufficiency of the traditional, aesthetic fulfillment of the human being that we see, for example, in Don Juan. Moreover, it shows something that seems natural as som...

Modern theories of elites not always adequate and timely cover the diversity of elite groups practices with their scientific analysis, especially those who belong to the number of non-political elites – the elites of science, culture and religious societies. Each elite professional community needs its own separate set of criteria of elitism, reflecting the specificity of their occupation. The political elites cease to be the fashion to the elite breeders. Increasingly they are beginning to adopt the criteria of ot...

The article shows the origins of coaching (one of the most effective ways of leadership development) in the Socratic dialogue as it appears in Plato's works. This origin appears in the most advanced way in cognitive coaching based on cognitive therapy. However, it is not only the roots of a young practical science that goes so far into antique philosophy. If we look at the elements of the Socratic method, it turns out that coaching belongs to it not only in the form but - or perhaps more - in its purpose. Formally...

Recent Orthodox Tradition is the perpetuity of Christ’s divine-human life in the Christians from our times understood as part of the Church or of the mystical body of the Resurrected Jesus Christ, the Lord, in Saint Apostle Paul’s own words (1 Cor. 1: 27; Eph. 4: 12). Contemporary theological writings, in their authentic state – as written testimonies of this real experience – are, in their turn, part of this continuous Tradition. They constitute scientific “recordings” of God’s indescribable uncreated unifying Re...

The current study is focused on the influence of Nikolai Yakovlevich Grot (1852-1899) on the formation and institutionalization processes in Russian philosophy in the late 1880s. As the editor of the journal “Questions of Philosophy and Psychology” (Voprosi filosofii I psikhologii), Grot transforms this edition into the first press organ which accepts all the philosophical trends. This article aimed at examinating how Grot perceives positivistic, materialistic, scientific and metaphysical concepts, including the i...

Rudolf Carnap, one of the most accomplished representatives of logical empiricism, finds himself in discussion with Heidegger in the most radical phase of his work. His radical, critical approach is significant for the syntactic period of Carnap's thought development. Heidegger is, according to Carnap, a philosopher who speaks out against the rules of grammatical rules. Heidegger does not perceive Carnap as a philosopher worthy of a long answer. There are only two Heidegger's responses to Carnap. In his intellectu...

The development of modern society at the level of post-industrial relations requires not only the creation of the foundations of the digital economy and the introduction of advanced scientific achievements (hi-tech), but also a qualitative change in the system of training professional personnel. In this regard, the role of universities and, in particular, of faculty members, which are facing new challenges, is growing. It is not so much about changing educational programs, but about changing the very principles of...

Applied ethical frameworks in the field of social theory and practice face the limits of moral philosophy, which are given by the absence of a fundamental philosophical reflec-tion of new emerging phenomena in changing current society. It is evident, that the highly organized society suffers from fragmentation and loss of coherence of various ethical theories lacking their deeper metaethic justification. The authors of the article point to a Judeo-Christian narration in which they see important metaethic bases for...

The history of the last four centuries convincingly testifies to the increased role of the scientific elite in solving fundamental problems and in determining the development strategy of all mankind.

As a result, the role of the scientific elite, which is an advanced class of the elite professional community, increases, and the fate of the developmen...
