Europäischer Binnenmarkt und mediterrane Peripherie
Authors: Tömmel Ingeborg
Published: November 2018

Das Projekt des einheitlichen europäischen Binnenmarktes verkörpert innerhalb der Geschichte europäischer Integration eine entscheidende Etappe. Es handelt sich insoweit um einen neuen Typus von Integration, als sich die Herausbildung eines politischen Systems abzeichnet, das den nationalen Mitgliedsstaaten eher neben- als übergeordnet ist und das der Wahrnehmung neuer Staatsausgaben dient. Die bereits erkennbare Interaktion von internationalem, nationalem und lokalem Staat hat eine Art Simulation des Marktmechanismus durch staatliches Handeln und damit eine neue Form von Regulation zur Folge. Die zum Einsatz gelangenden Farmen und Typen von Strukturpolitik bewirken dabei weniger die Ausweitung von Entwicklung auf bislang rückständige Regionen als vielmehr die selektive Stimulierung und Modernisierung schon bestehender und relativ wettbewerbsstarker Sektoren sowie die relative Ausgrenzung und Marginalisierung traditioneller Sektoren.
Spanien, Europa und Lateinamerika: Zur Geschichte legendärer Kulturbeziehungen
Authors: Rehrmann Norbert
Published: November 2018

Die in Europa (insbesondere in Spanien) und Lateinamerika mittlerweile begonnene Auseinandersetzung über Sinn und Zweck der für 1992 in Sevilla geplanten »Fünfhundertjahrfeierlichkeiten« (V centenario) aus Anlaß der Entdeckung Amerikas macht deutlich, daß zahlreiche historische Konflikte noch immer virulent sind, weil die Wahrnehmung des »Anderen« noch immer durch obsolete Konzepte und ethnozentristische Prämissen getrübt wird. Wie der gesamteuropäische Lateinamerikadisput illustriert, charakterisiert die sogenannte Leyenda Negra ( »Schwarze Legende«, die Europa als Ganzes von historischer Verantwortung freispricht und dem »grausamen Spanien« den Schwarzen Peter zuschiebt) dabei nicht allein die tatsächlichen und vermeintlichen Grausamkeiten Spaniens, sondern auch einen extremen Ethnozentrismus aufgeklärtester Geister im übrigen Europa, der das »lyrische« Pathos des spanischen Panhispanismus seit der lateinamerikanischen Unabhängigkeit an Zynismus und Arroganz zuweilen noch übertrifft.
Individualisierung und Theorie der Klassen
Authors: Neckel Sighard
Published: November 2018

Die mit dem Namen Ulrich Becks verbundene soziologische Zeitdiagnose der »Individualisierung« sozialer Lagen und Bewußtseinsformen hat neben einer weiten Publizität auch starke Kritik erfahren, vor allem von marxistischer Seite. Sighard Neckel skizziert die Grundlinien und Probleme der Beck'schen Argumentation und prüft die Einwände, die die Individualisierungsthese bisher gefunden hat, um schließlich eine Perspektive zu benennen, in der die Arbeiten von Beck und anderen an eine Theorie kollektiver Akteure anschlußfähig wären.
Fordismus als Fetisch
Authors: Foster John Bellamy
Published: November 2018

Unter der Bezeichnung »Fordismus« wird in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur die Verbindung von Massenproduktion mit durch hohe Löhne möglich gewordener Massenkonsumtion bezeichnet, als deren Vorreiter Henry Ford gilt. Der Artikel bemüht sich dieses Bild von Ford zu korrigieren: die in Fords PR-Abteilung produzierte Ideologie werde mit der Realität verwechselt. Darüber hinaus werden die Widersprüche aufgezeigt, die eine Analyse des Nachkriegskapitalismus mit dem Konzept »Fordismus« mit sich bringt.

Authors: Djabarov R.
Published: November 2018

We know that Prince Volodymyr as Saint of Russia was eventually canonized and proclaimed the saintly saint of God. And in regard to its connection with the Muslim religion, then the domestic authorities from the historical science - such as Karamzin, Tatishchev, Kostomarov, Solovyov, Hrushevsky, Grekov, Tolochko, and even Rybakov and even Gumilev - did not have significant differences. None of them doubted the historical truthfulness of centuries of "trodden" theory of Vladimir's choice of the Great State religion.
The skeptical philosophizing of P. Gassendi as a method of establishing the independence of the science of modern times (religious studies aspect)
Authors: Klymov V.

In rethinking skepticism as a method of philosophizing, which by its characteristics was quite effective in breaking up and overcoming scholasticism and dogmatism, criticizing Fidelism, in shaping and consolidating the foundations of the science of modern times, skepticism, which in its consistent application extended to the sphere of religious-theological, sacred , a significant contribution was made by the skeptic philosopher and naturalist Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655).

Philosophical and cultural dimensions of the transcendental
Authors: Zelisko L.
Published: November 2018

Solving complex spiritual problems of modern life leads us to rethinking its higher meanings, absolute values, essences. Philosophical and cultural worldview, as the supreme form of knowledge and comprehension of the existence of the world and man, now directs the study of the root causes, the essential foundations of the world order, the disclosure of the deep meaning of what is happening to the world, society, culture and man, focuses on the creation of universal explanatory models of things, its individual components. Philosophical and cultural reflection as analytical means of cognition involves the ability to go beyond the real spheres of being and deduces the general cultural categories of the world of thought, such as being and non-being, God and soul, time and eternity, spirit and matter, death and immortality, etc. It is in the sense of reflexive activity of philosophical and cultural consciousness that it is possible to consider any phenomenon of being not in itself, but through the prism of the space of deep cultural meanings, which testifies to the metaphysical nature of culture, which is connected with the world of higher, absolute meanings and entities. In cultural studies, there is a tremendous experience with genesis and historical development of socio-cultural life, in particular, religious and philosophical culture.
Postmodern and Tradition
Authors: Tovbin K.
Published: November 2018

The notion of traditional religiosity often circulates in journalism as a conditional counterbalance to religious innovation - "a great charismatic awakening", neo-pagan cults, quasi-Eastern occultism, etc. However, the positive content of this concept is still vacant. When considering "traditional religiosity," we see, first of all, conceptual centaurism, for "religion" originally represented itself as a kind of counterweight to the "Tradition" [Dugin AG. Philosophy of traditionalism. - M., 2002. - P. 102], a way of its restoration or substitution. Secondly, in the internal analysis of the notion of traditional religion, we see a rather modern, post-Protestant content of understanding of religion as a worldview (which often leads to the centaurism mentioned above), and this post-Protestant view of religiosity is regularly modified following the "demythologization" programs of modern Protestantism
The views of philosophers and Christian authors about the Church as a factor in shaping the sense of responsibility for the fate of society
Authors: Saboduha O.
Published: November 2018

The Church at all times of human existence occupied an important place in the life of society. Under modern conditions, people often feel unprotected, uncertain, and therefore forced to seek support and faith in their happy future. One way of creating a sense of inner peace for a believer is to communicate with God, and the Church acts as an intermediary in this process. Therefore, in our opinion, the Church, as a social institution, is to a large extent responsible for the cultivation of those values ​​which it preaches and which consciously and subconsciously assimilates the citizens. Therefore, we believe that the Church should not be alienated from the problems of society, but, on the contrary, its activities should be oriented towards its modernization and, above all, in the spiritual aspect. For the Ukrainian society in its spiritual life Christian faith was and remains the leading one. In this article, we aim to justify the role of the Christian Churches in shaping the sense of responsibility of our believers.
The theological doctrine of the miracle and the concept of the initial nomology of the universe
Authors: Gudyma I.
Published: November 2018

Factors of a secularized world, among which, alongside with which there is Christian theology, encourage the latter to meet the high intellectual guidelines of the present culture, gain signs of persuasiveness, comprehensiveness, consistency and generally take into account the requirements and norms of common sense. However, trying to reflect reality, moreover, claiming Truth, religion and its ideas arise and function within the limits of subjective and accordingly can not be forced to adjust (such as, in particular, scientific hypotheses and theories). This is largely reflected in theology as its reflective presentation. However, not only the religious intellectual, but also any ordinary believer prefers to find in daily routine such arguments that it would undoubtedly point out that his faith is not an illusion that he meets the highest requirements of historical truth. In this sense, the well-known Catholic cleric and theologian Hans Kyung was not mistaken and even exaggerated, when he categorically reiterated: "Where faith is based on illusion, there is not faith, but superstition"
The etymological reconstruction of the concept of "reincarnation"
Authors: Kompaniec L.
Published: November 2018

The idea of ​​reincarnation, the belief in the possibility of reincarnation is now one of the most interesting topics. She increasingly attracts the attention of philosophical, religious, and above all scientific thought. It is difficult not to agree with the depth of the circle of existential issues that it covers, because it is a whole range of problems of human existence: despair, life and death, hope, immortality of the soul. As a result, on the basis of attempts to follow the ways of their solution, vital projects of cultures, valuable landmarks are lined up. In the scale of religious values, the idea of ​​immortality of the soul is in higher hierarchical layers as a goal and an ideal, a condition for the achievement of the otherworldly, kingdom of God. In the context of this gradation, the phenomenon of reincarnation, as containing the idea of ​​eternal existence of the soul, has a value aspect, succinctly fits into the hypothetical problem of human immortality and, in our opinion, requires more in-depth study.

Secularism, secularism, godlessness: theological vision of the problem.
Authors: Ortynskyy Ivan
Published: November 2018

The religious crisis experienced by the present mankind is neither the first nor the last in its history. But it looks more sharp, more general, and above all - deeper, because it reaches the very roots of religion, God. This crisis is present in the West, where freedom is predominantly dominated and dominated, and where man can develop as it is profitable, as well as in the East, where for decades the communist regime led a persistent and fierce ideological war, trying to eliminate everything that concerned God. It seemed that the fall of the Marxist-Communist system would lead to a violent manifestation of a religious sensation here, responding to the demands of the human spirit. Unfortunately, such hopes were not fulfilled. The atmosphere of a certain freedom soon changed the first signs of enthusiastic religious interest in religious chaos, and finally, as could be foreseen, left a free space for the crazy pursuit of well-being and all the benefits that the Western civilization was embracing. This was the result of a pathetic, even tragic financial situation, which was the consequence of the management of the communist regime and the inevitable legacy of Marxist despotism, which required the complete rejection of religion and its absence in human life.

Nature and definition of a religious phenomenon
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii  M.
Published: November 2018

In their attempts to determine the nature of religion, researchers often refer to the Latin term religio. At the same time, there are several variants of his translation (piety, reverence, conscientiousness, etc.), but, deducing this word from the Latin word religare (bind, bind), preference is given to its etymology, proposed by the Christian apologist Lactania (near 250 - after 325). Since then, religion has emerged as a means of communicating man with God in serving him and obedience through piety. We note that "religion in general" does not exist. Historically, there were and there are only some specific species, confessions. Religious scholars count more than five thousand of them.

Authors: Kovalchuk Igor
Published: November 2018

There are very few monuments of icon art of the 13th-15th centuries, but they give a great opportunity to learn a lot about the state of the Ukrainian Church of that time, about the strengthening of faith, and also about the stylistic quest for Ukrainian artists. The development of the iconography of those centuries in Ukraine marked the Tatar-Mongol invasion. When a person or a whole nation falls into a difficult situation, faith in God grows, spirituality rises. Monuments of culture of the XIII-XV centuries record especially jealous hope in God, the strengthening of the religiosity of different sections of the people. From this time there is hardly any secular art: everything preserved is permeated with Christian religiosity. In these years, such great temples are not already built, as in the early centuries of Christianity in Russia, but small, but well-fortified churches throughout Ukraine are built. There are also various centers of icon-painting. Their masters focused mainly on the ancient art of Kiev, introduced in their samples many local elements. Icons painted in various spiritual centers, in particular in the monasteries, are striking by their monumentality and severity, which reflected that day (See: The History of Ukrainian Art, Vol. 6, vol., 1968).
