The paper shows specifics and features of understanding of importance of love in society in the legacy of Plato and Aristotle. Explication of the role of love in society in Plato is revealed on the basis of the texts of his two dialogues «Symposium» and «Laws». In the «Symposium», through the speech of Eryximachus, it is emphasized that thanks to love, a complete unity is possible in society as a whole and between people. Love occupies a key place in society and its presence or deficiency leads to certain social phenomena (war, revolution, revival). Love cannot separate people both on a personal and social level. Destructive, destruction brings only hatred. Accordingly, every member of society who wants the society in which he lives to be prosperous and stable, should feel friendly to others, be sensitive and caring to those who need it. Аlso, in the «Laws» the ancient Greek thinker talks about how important it is to teach children — future citizens of the policy — who and how to love or hate. This is due to the fact that if the wrong way of understanding love among people develops, then this can lead to the destruction of society. After all, if love is inherent in justice, then it is not able to create disorder, to make destructive, to one degree or another to be a carrier of deviant behavior. Love is always where there is truth, where there is justice. And where there is a lie, a deception, the place of love no longer remains. She calmly and without resentment walks away from those people who have felt a sense of love, and does not knock again until the lie stops. It is proved that Αristotle is ambivalent about the importance of love for society. To some extent, he continues his predecessors Socrates and Plato, and emphasizes that the state is based on love and friendly relations. Love is not limited only to individual relationships and circumstances, it affects the entire social and cultural life of mankind. At the same time, he opposes them, because he notes the negative consequences for society and the state system of various manifestations of love deviations. Aristotle also emphasizes that social status is not important for close relationships. Intimacy, closeness to each other is higher than those or other social divisions, beliefs and disagreements. Thus, love overcomes social disunity, thereby creating a special community for which the main thing is the good of Оther.

Dialectical Tension

Politocratic communitarianism supports the historic revival of ancient Greek notions of social life in opposition to the nominalist trends in modernistic philosophy of society. The need for a penetrating normative philosophy of society from an integral non-dualistic angle to social life is manifest from Danie Goosen's and Koos Malan's pursuit of the neo-Aristotelian philosophical revival of the Greek polis: their formalistic approach to sociology, the dialectical tension between "normativity" and "factuality", and the juxtaposing of the "general" and the "specific" in their approach to social phenomena. In this article the shortcomings of politocratic communitarianism are traced to its immanentist approach to social theory with all the ensuing dialectical tensions emanating from its social philosophy and its views on the role of the state in society.

In sociology, the interest in order is determined, among other things, by the identification of various factors that labilize and determine it. The factor under consideration, as a subject, is objectively difficult for social analysis and practical application of its results. Among the trigger reasons are legal culture and legitimacy, which are studied in this theoretical work from heuristic and analytical perspectives. It is assumed that legal culture, as a set of values aggregated by society and the state, can itself act as a factor of legitimacy for such an order. The disclosure of heuristic interest is carried out through legal consciousness of a person, a conscious choice of the model of rational (for oneself or the state) behavior, and the work of socio-legal institutions. Identifying the immanent signs of legal culture, we come to a conclusion that the critical mass of socially accumulated and legal knowledge provokes a qualitative leap in the development of both social and legal orders. This development determines the formation of an architecture of not only social but also nomological values, which creates the necessary conditions for the stability of social relations according to the objective rules provided by the legislator. The author emphasizes the impossibility of predetermining the primacy of the values under consideration since social and normative actions ensure the necessary balance of interests that are corresponding in nature, where unsatisfied frustrating expectations are considered as the main problems. Such expectations are associated with the violation of this balance, expressed in the permanent conflict between law and law enforcement, as the quintessence of the penetrating clash of social and legal orders, where society insists on defeating part of the monopoly on violence in the case of citizens’ deviant behavior and demilitarization of the work of legal institutions that is related to the condemnation of non-conformity, and where the state protects the objectivity of the rules of conduct and the extension of their sphere of influence by giving them legitimacy. The considered social order is seen as the basis for such an organization of life in society where the state acts as a moderator, introducing norms as irreducible standards of responsibility of each individual, correcting his behavior model towards rationality through legal culture that ensures legal awareness, conformity and legitimacy of socio-legal institutions. Legal culture laid down by society and supported by the state makes it possible to adopt a rational model of behavior in society and to make it resistant to destructive social phenomena.

This book examines how the perception of terrorism threat erodes civil liberties, sows doubt about the loyalties of immigrants, and heightens the left-right ideological divide. The book presents original analysis of survey data and experiments conducted in Australia, Europe and the United States.Research in the book posits questions that others have largely avoided: How does the threat of terrorist violence undermine multicultural democracies? What are the psychological and social mechanisms that explain how the threat of terrorism can change political attitudes? What is the relationship between terrorism and death threats? What is the role of media in shaping the perception of terrorism threat? And what are the ethical responsibilities of journalists? This book will help readers distinguish between groundless speculation and solid scientific knowledge of the topic. Moreover, it provides concrete recommendations on how to prevent the most negative consequences of the polarization of political attitudes, such as social divisions, exclusivism and conflict. Given the broad geographical scope of the research presented in the book, specifically North America, Europe and Australia, this book will appeal to broad scope of readers.

State Educational

Based on archival documents and previously pub-lished materials, an attempt is made to show the role of the pre-revolutionary education system in the socio-cultural development of the Yakut region. Si-beria was a place of exile for a long time and the state was in no hurry to develop education here. But the liberal reforms of 1860–1870 created the prereq-uisites for the development of the education system. The paper shows the formation and development of educational institutions in the region, provides in-formation on the number of schools and the number of students. The role of political exiles in raising the general cultural level of the local population is also revealed. The author comes to the conclusion that in the Yakut region, thanks to the state educational policy on education of foreign suburbs and public initiative, primary and then secondary educational institutions begin to open, which have had a signifi-cant impact on the socio-cultural life of the region.

In today's global climate of pre-packaged opinions, every effort of original thinking is an act of dissent. To think radically today is to be a heretic: committing ‘heresy’ not in its theological sense, but in relation to its ancient Greek roots, which means ‘choice’. With the rise of the post-industrial global village dominated by media networks and technology-led communication, the ‘epidemic of conformism’ has completely paralysed intellectuals' ability to question. It has now become critical to examine the central role of heresy in the formation of critical thinking and anti-dogmatism. Since the time of Socrates to the present, public intellectuals have aligned themselves with the heretical imperative by questioning organized power and opened up social, political, economic, and cultural life to public scrutiny and accountability. This effort is described in this book through the self-examined lives of philosophers such as Socrates and José Ortega y Gasset, Albert Camus, and Yukio Mishima. They serve to elaborate the context of the author's bold claim that B.R. Ambedkar, the central character of the author's research, is the boldest heretic in Indian political history.

Abstract The main changes in the development of identity of Ukrainians after the Euromaidan revolution and their influence on internal geopolitics of the state are presented in the paper. The authors have made a critical overview of the key psychological and symbolic domains of Galician and Little-Russian identity, drawing attention on their changes in the context of the current geopolitical conflict which led to the loss of territory in 2014. Throughout all the 20th century and nowadays, these identities form the political and cultural landscape of Ukraine and generate a number of social divisions. Apart from those identity issues and their preconditions, the obstacles for the realisation of the policy of Ukrainian nation-building are also discussed. The authors conclude that there is a tendency to strengthen the role of the Ukrainian language and break the ties with Russia in a radical way as well as expansion of the pro-Western attitudes and expectations. In terms of mentality and civilizational values, the widening gap between millions of Russians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians from the East and the population of the central and western regions of Ukraine is also pointed out.

The monetary policy of the Central Bank of Russia is an integral part of the economic policy of the state, that is, the Bank of Russia, together with the government, determines the main parameters of the monetary system. However, the role of monetary policy in the socio-economic development of the state has not been sufficiently disclosed. The use of methods of monetary regulation can be effective only in combination with sound economic measures implemented by the government. The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that it is necessary to determine what methods of monetary regulation can ensure sustainable economic growth, as well as how monetary policy should be combined with national economic policy. For the purpose of research, various scientific methods and approaches were used, in particular, methods of theoretical analysis, economic and statistical methods, methods of comparison, analogy, historical analysis. As a result of the research, it was found that monetary policy is not consistent with the economic policy of the state. The use of the formed budget funds is not always expedient, which leads to such negative consequences as inflation, excessive polarization of the population’s income, and low rates of GDP development. The studies carried out made it possible to determine the main directions of monetary policy and a set of economic measures that can stop the fall of the national currency (devaluation), ensure financial stability and a gradual growth of GDP.

State Tax

In the modern economy, tax risks are far from the last in importance. First of all, this is due to the fact that taxes are the main sources of formation of the country’s budget and thereby create an economic basis for the existence of a state that can perform its functions only if there is adequate funding. The size and condition of the budget, in turn, have a regulatory effect on the economy. Taxation is an integral part of the modern system of redistributing funds between economic entities, and therefore the urgency of the problem of tax risks is beyond doubt. From the point of view of the state (represented by the tax authorities), tax risks are the likelihood of a taxpayer’s non-compliance with tax legislation, i.e. financial losses of budgets of all levels and the state as a whole. In other words, the tax risks of the state consist in the likelihood of receipt of smaller amounts of taxes in comparison with the planned volumes, which can lead to negative consequences, for example, to an unplanned budget deficit. Such consequences can limit the possibility of financing many budget expenditures, which will lead to a slowdown in economic growth as a whole. The purpose of the scientific article was to study the influence of the role of tax risks as an effective threat to ensure the functioning of the state’s economic security system. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the work of both Russian and foreign experts in the field of economic security of the state, as well as materials from the periodicals of leading economists. The main research methods used in writing the work were the method of theoretical systemic economic analysis, the monographic (descriptive) method.

In the twenty-first century, information wars have become so widespread that it makes no sense to hush up their role in shaping public opinion. Objectively, it is necessary to recognize that the contradictions within any society that arise for a variety of reasons can undermine stability, plunge the state into a zone of «high turbulence» with uncertain but clearly negative consequences. Statistics, providing specific digital information, allows you to generate, change, maintain, public opinion, to form a worldview and value orientations. In this regard, it is of great interest to analyze the place and role of statistics in conducting information campaigns aimed at achieving national interests of both individual countries and their unions.
