The article offers a comparative study of the concepts of “historical mood” in the works of V.V. Bibikhin and P. Ricoeur. The efficiency of the comparative study can be founded by the common intellectual context, the common influence of such authors as Aristotle, Augustine, M. Heidegger, on P. Ricoeur and V.V. Bibikhin. It is also important to note that both philosophers combine the perspectives of the phenomenological method, historical hermeneutics and they both turn to the ontology of understanding. The article shows how the paradoxical nature of time leads to difficulties in interpreting the historical time, and explains the conceptual findings, that were proposed by Bibikhin and Ricoeur to overcome this paradox. Whereas Bibikhin prefers to comprehend time as the time of the present event, i.e. time-kairos or pora (in Russian), Ricoeur follows the logic of retrospective analysis of the time-narrative. Still, the time paradox can be solved by the appeal to the a priori perfectum (Bibikhin) or the time of memory (Ricoeur). Then it is explained how the phenomenon of the colouredness of the historical time is rooted in some fundamental mood: for Bibikhin it is joy and indignation, while for Ricoeur — anxiety and hope. The proposed analysis of the concepts of pora (in Russian), kairos, patina of time, new Renaissance, colour of time (Bibikhin) and intrigue, historical mood, historical anxiety, truth}, hope (Ricoeur) leads to the question that the fundamental philosophical task — as long as philosophy is associated with the striving for the truth — is to understand the historical time of the present.

Comparing the legal systems is a specific method in which due to its important function is considered as a separate branch in law. None of the branches in law can place its knowledge merely on ideas and findings within the national borders. Several basic objections have been given regarding the definition and purpose of comparative study in civil procedure. In addition there are specific problems regarding studying practically the similar systems in a legal system like differences in purpose, definition and concept. In different legal systems like civil law and common law systems in which there is a divergence, even the judicial system`s organs and judges` appointment and judicial formalism are different, which add to the problems of the comparative study. Reviewing these differences could lead to a better understanding of these legal systems and recognizing the common principles in making use of each other`s findings considering these differences and indicate the obstacles of comparative study in this regard.

Abstract Throughout human history bereavement has always imposed its undeniable and inevitable impact on the life of those affected by it. Despite all discrepancies what can be considered the common ground in bereavement among all nations regardless of cultural, ideological, religious and ethical values is the fact that bereavement infuses an indispensable change into the lives of those encountering it. The comparative study of Burial and The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World by Iranian and Colombian authors, respectively, points out the unconventional reversed handling of bereavement which results in obtaining insight into the human capacity to mature. Both authors make their characters inseminate their barren lives with grief to produce a change which is drastic and flourishing in Gabriel Garcia Marquez and soothing and stabilizing in Bijan Najdi. Through the course of the stories the childless couple in Najdi and the villagers in Garcia Marquez are gradually exposed to the truth of their lives ironically by the corpses coming up their ways quite unexpectedly and learn to develop new identities, attaching themselves to and possessing the bodies. This comparative study sheds light on how the revelation they experience inculcates a joyful, fluid mobility in the villagers and stability in the couple’s life. The study of these texts reveals the absolute notion that the actual change originates from the world within and what lies in the world without is dead.

ANYONE who has attended an academic memorial service or a funeral has directly experienced the tradition of memorial preaching. I define this largely, and include any sermon about a dead person not a saint, whether or not it was given at a service linked to burial. I have not included purely secular addresses, though they are closely related. The subject lends itself to comparative treatment because memorial preachers of different periods have tried to bring out the significance of a person's life and death in the light of the religious and other values of the society to which both preacher and deceased belong. This provides the common basis without which comparative history is uninstructive.

Abstract The present article deals with the literary image of a Gothic man who happened to be in Edessa in the 5th century AD as a part of Roman auxiliary troops. He is reported to marry there a local girl under pretext of being a celibatarian. Having left Syria for Gothia, it turned out that he was married and had children. The Syrian wife became a slave and suffered a lot before returning miraculously back to Edessa. From the comparative study of the sources it becomes clear that the Gothic auxiliary troops were summoned to Edessa in connection with the advance of the Huns. Notwithstanding the common equation of Goths and Getae, the Gothic soldier in question was Germanic and not Getan (Dacian). The last question is the character of the marriage gift he presented for his temporary marriage.

The origin of the comparative study of Talmudic law lies in the Talmud itself, where we find instances in which the Sages formulated theirhalakhotin comparative terms, or took cognizance of non-Jewish legal positions.There are two aspects to comparative legal studies in modern Talmudic research: first, that of pinpointing the influence of one system upon another; and second, that of obtaining a clearer and deeper understanding of each system by emphasizing the common and the unique elements in each. The first aspect is very much a matter of chance, and even when it is applicable, the results often constitute details which are not capable of being formulated in general terms. The second aspect—that of mutual clarification—is, however, generally applicable, and may be employed with profit in numerous instances.

В статье актуализируется необходимость создания Словаря лексических общностей этнокультурного ареала АнатолияКавказИран , возможного благодаря накопленному к настоящему времени языковому и этнографическому материалу, отражающему многовековые этнические и лингвистические контакты означенного ареала. Лексикон подтвердил бы прозорливость В.И. Абаева, по мнению которого в означенном регионе при всем языковом разнообразии существовала единая кавказская этническая культура. Несмотря на то, что по каждой из языковых семей ареала имеется множество работ генетического, типологического и ареального характера, систематизация выявленных в течение XIX начале XXI в. иранскокавказских сходных элементов может практически подтвердить значение так называемых контактных зон определить направление заимствования, время, место и реальный исторический и этнокультурный фон внести ясность в сравнительносопоставительное изучение заимствований сходного субстрата в языках ареала обосновать новую типологию, обусловленную взаимопроникновением отправных систем. Предлагаемый обзор исследований открывает еще одну страницу в изучении раннесредневековой истории этноязыковых контактов языкового ареала АнатолияКавказИран. The article actualizes the idea to create The Dictionary of the common lexes of AnatoliaCaucasusIran ethnocultural area which is necessitated by the accumulated linguistic data and ethnographic material that testify to the centuriesold ethnic and linguistic contacts of the specified area. The lexicon would confirm the assumption of V.I. Abaev, according to whom,despite its longtime linguistic diversitythere was a single Caucasian ethnic culturein the indicated region. Each of the language families of the area,profoundly studied in many works of genetic, typological and areal nature, will contribute to systematization of the data revealed and cumulated during the XXth early XXIst centuries. The IranianCaucasian similar elements will in practice confirm the significance of the socalled contact zones determine the direction of borrowing, time, place and the real historical and ethnocultural background clarify the comparative study of borrowings from similar substrate in the reviewed languages justify new typology due to the interpenetration of starting systems. The proposed research opens another page in the study of the early medieval history of ethnolinguistic contacts of the language area of AnatoliaCaucasusIran.

Chapter 8 deals with the riddling epigrams of Book 14 of the Greek Anthology and discusses the common methods employed by the poets to disguise the solution of the aenigmata. It traces the origins of some riddles, together with their specific techniques, back to comedy and contextualizes the epigrams within the Greek and Latin ‘riddling tradition’. The comparative study of the most relevant sources (the Greek Anthology, Athenaeus’ Deipnosophists, and some manuscripts whose content still needs to be explored) leads to the conclusion that the Byzantine poets who composed riddling epigrams (Cristopher of Mytilene, John Mauropous, John Geometres, Michael Psellus, Basil Megalomytes, and Eustathius Macrembolites) could have been inspired by lost anthologies of riddles composed at different periods.

The Common properties (community property) is an asset that the husband and wife acquired during the household lifes, which both of them is agree that after united through marriage bonds, that the property produced by one or both of them will be common property. It shows, that if there's an agreement between husband and wife before marriage (did not to unify their property), then the property produced both will not become a joint treasure. Thus, if a husband or wife dies, or divorces, then the property owned by both of them can be distributed in accordance with their respective shares, another case when the two couples are not making an agreement, then the property gained during marriage bonds can be divided into types of communal property. In Islamic law, this kind of treasure is not contained in the Qur'an or Sunnah. Nor in Islamic jurisprudence. However, Islamic law legalizes the existence of common property as long as it is applicable in a society and the benefit in the distribution of such property. In contrast to the positive law, this property types have been regulated and described in the Marriage Law, as well as the Islamic Law Compilations, which became the legal restriction in the affairs of marriage in force in Indonesia. In this study, the author tries to compile the existence of common property according to the Islamic law reviews and positive law.
