The article shows that the active development of science, in particular, physics, which deals with unvisualizable and inexplicable phenomena, in the modern world it is especially important to understand the phenomena that are on the verge of human perception. In this sense, the study of the concept of “pointˮ not only as a mathematical object, but as a universal, anticipating the idea of an ontological order, can contribute to the methodology of thinking for new interpretations of scientific discoveries and their adequate description. The author considers the concept of “pointˮ in the mainstream of metaphysical comprehension, and the inclusion in the context of the analysis of the idea of transcendence, to which this concept leads, forms a conceptual scheme for interpreting what does not lend itself to multi-faceted comprehension and explanation. The search for alternative interpretations and additional semantic connotations of familiar concepts, which are characterized by integrativity and syncretism, is especially important in modern scientific research, because allows to enrich the epistemological arsenal and open new aspects of the thematic field of philosophy and science. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the ontological status of the concept of “pointˮ in the problem-theoretical context of modern culture. The point is presented as the beginning and end of being, which is illustrated by the generally accepted cosmological model. The special nature of this concept is demonstrated, acting as a link between the spheres of the immanent and the transcendent.

The article analyzes the scientific potential of the study of such an important phenomenon for the modern world as archaization, on the basis of which the author's methodological and conceptual space for the socio-philosophical study of the archaization of Russian society is formed. The concept of the plurality of modernity, and therefore the alternatives to national modernization, is recognized as a conceptual position. In the framework of the proposed concept, archaization, traditionalization and modernization are considered as modes of tradition - a substance of the sociocultural system that ensures reproduction and preservation of the society’s culture. Under the influence of socio-cultural transformation, the tradition can take the form of these processes, depending on the degree of destruction of traditional foundations and bases of society's life and the adequacy of the implemented innovations, their organic socio-cultural roots. Archaization as a modus of tradition, in turn, under the influence of sociocultural transformation, can develop in the format (modus) of rearchaization and neoarchaization as a result of interaction with the processes of traditionalization and modernization. At the intersection of the development trajectories of modernization and traditionalization processes, a modus of development called neotraditionalization is formed. The modes of archaization (neoarchaization and rearchization) affect the development of social processes in different ways, and therefore archaization is not considered as a uniquely regressive process.

For these Christian histories, humanity endured punishment for its sins in the first half of the twentieth century. Bad ideas, rooted in a failure to adhere to biblical Christianity, bore horrifying fruit. These textbooks condemn liberalism as the root of evil forms of government—socialism, fascism, and totalitarianism—with little distinction among them. They use this period to define fundamental dichotomies—evil socialists versus godly capitalists, deplorable liberals versus admirable conservatives. Efforts to negotiate peace or maintain it—the Peace of Versailles, the League of Nations, and the United Nations—were reprehensible, reflecting a misplaced desire to remediate the human condition. The United States even made such efforts in the New Deal, which these curricula repudiate. Humanism penetrated modern culture through education, particularly in the social sciences. Evangelicals’ understanding of biblical prophecies gave them a unique ability to weigh and condemn the evils of the modern world.

Thought Styles

As we break loose from an urban-industrial way of life and become engulfed in technological, information-based worlds, this dramatic shift in reality pushes many of us towards feelings of intense crisis. The fragmentation of the macro-cultural framework enables a multiplicity of thought-styles to emerge. This rise of social multiplicity, plurality, fragmentation, and indeterminacy leads to aggressive criticisms of traditional modern culture and politics. Yet while there is a break from the rationalized, homogeneous modern world, the `postmodern' world remains ambiguous. Deeply rooted within this struggle for meaning lies language and knowing. Reality is `made real' through language and thought. One way to remain organized is through the manipulation of thought through language. How is a meaningful, stable existence conveyed in a world in which the taken for granted meanings and stability that were `there' in modern settings now appear to be shattered? Our analysis of the Saturn Corporation, USA, focuses on the organizational function of creating and re-creating the roles of producer, consumer, and product in a way that taps into a need for community and affiliation that is acutely felt in this time of rational crisis. Through the mechanism of storytelling, the Saturn advertisements create a grand narrative, weaving a tale that makes the existence of a single, family-like symbolic community between the Saturn corporation and the consumers of its product seem real to those intimately involved in acting out the story.

The article investigates theoretical approaches to the essence of the concept of ‘methodology’ in modern jurisprudence based on the analysis of the views of domestic and foreign scientific researchers. It is proposed under the methodology to understand the set of methods, means, principles and procedures of scientific research, used in the process of scientific knowledge of a particular problem, with the help of which the researcher substantiates the phenomenon under investigation. It is determined that the development of modern legal science requires a well-formed research methodology, since the term ‘methodology’ is often changed with the term ‘methods/ technique’. It is established that there are different and not always unambiguous interpretations of the concept of methodology in the modern world and they are provoked by the rapid globalization development of society, the introduction of new information resources, digitalization, etc. The basic categories on which the methodology is based, which is endowed with a certain apparatus of research, which include: methods and ways of organizing scientific research; principles and forms of organization of scientific research; techniques and procedures of scientific research. It is substantiated that all the components of scientific research constitute the foundation of methodological apparatus and collectively make up a certain tool for the knowledge of the phenomena and processes under study. The significance and difference of the concepts of ‘scientific method’ and ‘method of science’ have been considered and the main requirements for these concepts have been characterized. It is determined that the right choice of research methods will lead the scientist to deep and verified results, provided that these methods will be used together with another elements of scientific research in order to solve certain problems. It was revealed that there are a considerable number of methods, the unity and interrelation of which form the specificity and integrity of the cognitive activity in science, the determining of which are general scientific, theoretical, experimental and specific. The key principles on which the methodology of scientific research should be formed are specified, i.e. the principle of consistency, the principle of development, the principle of unity of theory and practice, the principle of objectivity, the principle of abstraction, the principle of decomposition. The main functions the methodology is based on are characterized. It is defined that modern scientific research is impossible without a clearly formed methodology, which should have a systemic nature in scientific research and be carried out in certain logical sequences.

The article shows that the ontological status of Belarus does not necessarily need to be formulated as the border between the West and the East. Belarus is often regarded as a border area between the West and the East. Hence, different political conclusions are drawn: with whom Belarusians – with the East, in which Russia is always considered, or – with the West, that is, Europe. According to the author of the article, this formulation of the question is in principle incorrect. In the first place should be Belarus, and then all other countries. The territory of any country lies between the territories of some other countries. But for some reason, no ideologists or politicians pay much attention to this fact. It is necessary to raise the question of Belarus as an independent state which for many centuries was a powerful political and cultural entity. Huntington’s definition of a «torn» country does not apply to Belarus. The place of Belarus in the concept of modern world civilizations is not that of a Western or Orthodox civilization, but is of a union of Christian states.

Critical Perspectives

Anthropological analysis of modern culture works by being critical. The job is to make visible—hence available for rethinking—the fundamental yet implicit assumptions that have structured the modern world system. …The point, therefore, is not to proclaim which values are right and which are wrong. Rather, the point is to develop new, critical perspectives on hegemonic values so that we -all of us—can discuss and perhaps revise them.

Early Modern Rome

Abstract In practice, early modern culture was for most Europeans more oral than written. Yet spoken words, especially those of ordinary people, are, for scholars, tantalizingly elusive. Testimonies, recorded verbatim, in judicial proceedings for the city of Rome and other Italian jurisdictions offer rich repositories of oral expression uttered by women and men of diverse ages and social positions. Yet to explore these documents as terrains of speech and oral culture, we must attend closely to the processes by which these words were assembled and transcribed. Everyday talk that we hear in the trials was deeply situated: in the intricate hybridity of oral/written cultures that characterized much of the early modern world; in the layered oral and written formats of judicial process; and in the social and gendered circumstances of the speakers. These frames shaped the orality that we see in the trials, but did not obliterate individual agency in speech.
