Role Of Religion

Theoretical approaches to the co-adaptation of science and religion in Catholicism are revealed. The metaphysical substantiation of the existence of the supernatural is shown. The multifaceted arguments for the defense of the idea of creation are based on references to the limited and historical underdevelopment of human practice, evidence of the presence of uncontrolled, almost undeveloped, and therefore incomprehensible phenomena of nature, society and the human psyche. A characteristic feature of theological knowledge is not systematic, but spontaneity, at their basis is the rational substantiation of the irrational. The process of cognition for Catholic theologians presupposes the dominance of faith and the silence of reason. This understanding of the process of cognition and the role of science has changed over the course of historical time. Under the influence of the growing role of science, Catholic theologians began to highlight in certain issues not only the possible combination of religion with scientific knowledge, but also to prove the beneficial influence of religion on science. In the Catholic understanding, this points to the leading role of religion in the emergence of science. At the same time, scientific knowledge strives for objective significance and maximum accuracy. The Catholic doctrine of creation not only recognizes subjectivism, but also identifies theological faith and inner experience with the criterion of truth. A comparative analysis of scientific and theological knowledge shows that their purpose, methods and criteria of knowledge are essentially opposite.

Role Of Religion

In the article, the author reveals the metaphysical systems of the irrational justification for the existence of the supernatural. It is shown that diverse arguments in the protection of the supernatural are based on references to the limited and historical underdevelopment of human practice, the evidence of the presence of uncontrolled and therefore incomprehensible phenomena of nature, society and the human psyche. A characteristic feature of theological cognition is not systematic, but spontaneous, irrational at its basis. The process of cognition for Orthodox theologians involves the domination of faith and the silence of the mind. A similar understanding of the process of cognition and the role of science has changed over time. The logic of the structure of religious consciousness shows that the mind in this process plays only an auxiliary role along with the intuitively gained faith. With this understanding, the role of faith significantly increases and the role of knowledge diminishes and therefore thought of a person, his scientific search is completely ignored. At the same time, the idea that cognitive activity should be focused above all on the comprehension of God is embedded in the consciousness of a person. Under the influence of the growing role of science, theologians began to point out in some questions not only the possible combination of religion with scientific knowledge, but also to prove the beneficial influence of religion on science. In theological understanding, this indicates the leading role of religion in the emergence of science. The task of religion is the knowledge of the supernatural through the suggestion, conviction of people in its reality. Scientific knowledge strives for objective significance and maximum accuracy, excluding all personal and subjective. Religion not only recognizes subjectivism but also brings theological faith and inner experiences to the rank of criteria of truth. Science is characterized by dynamism and development. It relies on rational knowledge. Religion is conservative, static in nature. Its support is irrational consciousness. Science is based on experience. However, the basis of religion is a belief in supernatural, mystical experience. The comparative analysis of scientific and religious knowledge indicates that their purpose, methods and criteria of knowledge are essentially opposite.

AbstractThis article is part of a special issue on the five Muslim democracies. It aims at understanding the role played by religion, and particularly by religiously oriented actors, in Turkey's democratization processes. The first section analyzes the different theoretical approaches to the role of religion in democratization. The second section analyzes the different phases of Turkey's political history since the 1980 coup, taking into account both democratization processes and the role played by religious actors in the political system, and trying to understand the possible relations between the two phenomena.

Role Of Religion

Building an ethical culture is challenging and a basic requirement of the companies to embed transparency in their systems, creating a positive image; serving the internal and external communities. This paper based on detailed interviews of 12 family owned businesses over a period of 16 months explores how these companies build the ethical culture, identifying the ethical culture sustainability triggers, challenges and role of religion in such practices. The values, culture, community and social norms are identified as major ingredients of a sustainable ethical culture development and implementation of the ethical policies and procedures require institutional and structural mechanisms for effectiveness in family owned businesses. The findings at numerous occasions are in contrast to the literature, whereas, in other instances are similar. The religion, society, family image, the entrepreneurs themselves and their family members play a vital role. Non-interference in private matters of the employees, whistle blowing, code of ethics, training and awareness creation and a number of other factors play a leading role in ethical culture development in family businesses.

Role Of Religion

Despite the increased attention to religion in international relations, questions remain about the role of religion in the foreign policies of states. Extrapolating from theories in the fields of international relations and comparative politics is a fruitful strategy to explore religion’s potential avenues of influence on foreign policy. There are also potential methodological tools of analysis in these fields, which can be fruitfully applied to understand the role of religion in foreign policy. Contributions from the field of religion and politics may be used to frame applications of such theories as realism, constructivism, liberalism, and bounded rationality to specify further hypotheses about religion and foreign policy. The potential of these theoretical approaches from international relations to the analysis of religion has not yet been exploited fully although it is clear that there are promising signs of progress.

The concept of multipolarity has come a long way from its categorical rejection by Western politicians and scholars to the strong necessity of taking into account the realities of a multipolar world even by US closest allies. The article is devoted to the analysis of the official discourse, normative and positive concepts of the study of polarity, including system models of international relations, an empirical assessment of the current distribution of power in the world, as well as forecasting the further development of world dynamics. An analysis of the political discourse on polarity over the past 25 years is made and the most significant political figures are highlighted - defenders of multipolarity (BRICS and EU countries) as well as adherents of the unipolar world (NATO countries). The basic theories (mainly of a normative nature) that conceptualize both unipolar discourse (hegemonic stability theory) and multipolar one (theory of multipolar world) are shown. The intellectual segregation between two main approaches to the study of international systems is provided - abstract verbal models of systems vs empirical (quantitative) system research. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the real distribution of power in the international arena. The main approaches and related methodological challenges are considered. Analysis of the relative shares of USA, Russia (USSR) and China in world power based on Composite Index of National Capability (CINC) is provided. The assessment of material potential is complemented by a multifactor (more than 30 parameters) comprehensive study of both “hard” and “soft” power of three countries. The main theoretical approaches to the concept of multipolarity are clarified. The empirical analysis revealed the formation of a “new bipolarity” (USA and China) while maintaining the leading role of the Russian Federation in the field of high politics and global security. It is predicted that China is gradually “trying on” the role of a new hegemon and is already less interested in a radical revision of the current world order. The strategic adaptation of the closest US allies to the realities of a multipolar world is shown.

Цель данной работы состоит в определении механизмов формирования научного знания. Процедура и методы исследования: авторами был проведен анализ существующих концепций развития науки. В процессе исследований использовались методы сравнительного анализа. Результаты исследования: проведенный анализ показал, что процесс познания в неклассической науке зависит от взглядов субъекта познания, который не отделяется от объекта. Они создаются под влиянием как научного знания, так и представлений других форм сознания. Вследствие этого парадигмы неклассической науки формируются как на основе знаний классической науки, так и на основе мифологических, магических и т.п. представлений, которые вносятся в процесс познания через индивидуальные и коллективные взгляды субъекта исследования. Неклассическая наука стала новой мифологией. Теоретическая и практическая значимость: проведенное исследование позволило обосновать новую роль философии, которая заключается в создании оснований для формирования интерсубъектного знания в форме неоклассической науки. The aim of this work is to determine the mechanisms for the formation of scientific knowledge. The authors analyzed the existing concepts of the development of science. In the research process, comparative analysis methods were used. The analysis showed that the process of cognition in non-classical science depends on the view of the subject of knowledge which is not divided from the object. Their creation is influenced by both scholarly knowledge and vision of other forms of cognition. Due to this paradigm formation of non-classical sciences is based on knowledge of classical science, and mythological, magical vision which are introduced into the process of cognition by individual and collective views of the subject of research. Non-classical sciences have become new mythology. The study made it possible to justify the new role of philosophy, which consists in creating the foundations for the formation of intersubjective knowledge in the form of neoclassical science.

Role Of Religion

<p>Managing diversity according to democratic values is especially relevant in addressing religious plurality. The challenge of finding factors that bring together communities with different worldviews under a same social project presents a number of features, in the case of the Muslim community, that seem to underscore the potential for conflict that their integration into European societies has. A good way to test whether there is such inconsistency may be to compare the dynamics and needs of the Muslim population - in this case, in the Basque Countrywith the principles underlying the role of religion in contemporary democratic regimes. This is the aim of this paper, where the theoretical approaches to the role played by religious beliefs in modern societies enter into dialogue with the daily life of a religious minority that claims its place in the public space.</p><p><strong>Published online</strong>: 11 December 2017</p>

The article states that post-neoclassical rationalism, which is approved, not only significantly expands, but also complicates the worldview of a modern person, changes his outlook positions, causing the need to develop new methodological approaches and value-purpose objects in scientific knowledge. Today there was a need to rethink the issue of methodological benchmarks in the humanities research, which is actualized by the leading role of humanitarian knowledge in the socio-cultural development of modern society. To study this issue, the following research methods are used: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive and generalized, and modelling ones. On the basis of scientific reflection, the essence of methodological approaches in the humanities research, which are diversified and acquire new meaningful characteristics in the conditions of changing the paradigm of humanitarian knowledge, is considered. The theoretical and methodological positions in relation to the value dominant in humanitarian knowledge, which is oriented towards subjectivity and existentialism and provides in-depth reflection on artistic phenomena, are singled out. It is noted that in the humanitarian methodology the following research methods are found: ideographic method (research of individuals, events), methods of hermeneutics (interpretation of meaningful personal actions), qualitative analysis (understanding of the phenomenon, and not its calculation), method of phenomenology (knowledge of the causes and essence of artistic educational phenomena), methods of self-understanding, allowing to understand subjectity and spirituality of a person, humanitarian expertise, humanitarian design, existential dialogues, etc. The article outlines promising vectors of the epistemological environment of artistic pedagogy, which serve as the basis for developing new scientific strategies at the methodological, theoretical and methodical levels.

Introduction. The paper considers the problem of spirituality that is learned by representatives of religion and scientists of different areas of scientific knowledge. The special significance of the problem lies in the fact that its correct comprehension helps forming spiritual culture of a person and society. The aim of the study is comparison of understanding of spirituality by representatives of science and religion. Materials and Methods. The following methods were applied: system analysis; abstraction; generalization; theoretical modeling; comparative analysis. Results. The main difference of the views of scientists-materialists and representatives of religion is that scientists consider spirituality as a result of scientific education. In Orthodox Christianity spirituality is comprehended as a result of an action of the Holy Spirit and a work of a person on himself aimed on forming such qualities as faith, hope, love, humility etc. Discussion and Conclusion. Among the representatives of the religion substantial controversies are practically absent whereas among scientists there exist rather heterogeneous views on the problem.
