The article is aimed at studying the theory of postmodernism, asLittLe studied and insufficiently disclosed in modern science, extremely complex and requiring detailed and in-depth analysis. The article sets the task to consider the problems of the crisis perception of the situation in postmodernism architecture period, existing in the regime of a multicultural polylogue. The issue of changing of architectural styles, reflecting global processes, is considered. The peculiarity of architectural thinking in the 1960-1990 period is studied from the point of view of changing of cultural paradigmatic attitudes. The author for the first time explores the causes of the emergence of a sense of crisis, as well as its effects in the form of growing reflection, irony, the formation of criticism and deconstruction, as derivatives of this state. Insufficient study of this problem requires a detailed consideration of the features of eschatological thinking in the cultural processes of the twentieth century and their reflection in the ideology of postmodernism, which is done by the author for the first time. The problem of confrontation between culture and civilization is analyzed, which is one of the little-studied phenomena of thinking in the second half of the twentieth century. The research touches upon the issues of values reassessment, the emergence of distrust to meta-narratives, skepticism to rationality, the defeat of the ideas of humanism, the death of culture, the existence in the process of global polemics, the loss of unambiguous self-identification and landmarks of contemporary human in the world. The author demonstrates the reasons for the emergence of pluralism, antiauthoritarianism, democracy, autoreflexia as ideologemes opposed to modernism. The article contains an examination of the emergence of neoromanticism, deconstruction, escapism as different directions in postmodernism.

The purpose of this study is to present a model for the development of the expressionist method in the genre of the novel using the example of the evolution of the novelistic work of the Austrian writer of the early twentieth century L. Perutz. The results obtained: the creative method of the Austrian writer is moving from scientific knowledge to mysticism; in the center of all novels created with a large interval, there is always a confused hero, broken by what is happening (in other words, the absurdity of the world), whose state is often conveyed through gestures; the author finally moves away from linear narration to dividing the plot into almost autonomous stories, thematically gravitating more and more to the distant historical past. Scientific novelty: the novels of L. Perutz are for the first time examined in relative detail through the prism of the aesthetics of expressionism.

This chapter presents and evaluates Ali Sedāt’s (d. 1900) Principles of Transformation in the Motion of Particles. In this work, Ali Sedad gives a detailed description of the working mechanism of the whole universe, including topics that range from the interaction of atoms to the emergence of animate bodies and the motion of heavenly bodies. In doing this, he introduces thermodynamics and Darwin’s theory of evolution for the first time to the Turkish-speaking community in a detailed way and discusses the laws behind natural phenomena in a philosophical way. Ali Sedāt’s Principles of Transformation is a unique work introducing the basic principles of the natural sciences in nineteenth-century European circles to the Ottoman world and interpreting them from an Ashʿarite perspective. It shows how an Ashʿarite scholar from the late Ottoman era followed modern science thoroughly but interpreted it critically from its own philosophical point of view.

Cicely Saunders founded St Christopher’s Hospice in London in 1967 as a centre for teaching, research, and care. Its influence quickly spread around the world. Cicely Saunders — A Life and Legacy shows how she played a crucial role in shaping a new discourse of care at the end of life. From the nihilism of ‘there is nothing more we can do’, medicine and healthcare gradually adopted a more purposeful approach to care in the face of advanced disease and at the end of life. This came to be known as palliative care. This biography links for the first time the ideas and practice of Cicely Saunders to the spreading global interest in hospice and palliative care. It explores her deep reflection on the nature of suffering at the end of life, the possibilities of a more informed approach to the medical management of pain and other symptoms, and above all the importance of remaining focussed on the personal and spiritual concerns of the individual patient as death approaches. It is a story of a remarkable personal and professional life and of a seismic shift in twentieth-century medical history.

The article is devoted to the life and work of the Polish writer, poet, translator Josef Lobodowski. It represents his biographical information, his relationship with Ukraine and the traditions of this region. Moreover, the poetry collection “Złota hramota” from the point of view of the Ukrainian question becomes the object of the article. The aim of the work is to systematize available information concerning the life and the creative input of the outstanding Pole, who, while living in Kuban, learned the Ukrainian language and fell in love with the Ukrainian culture and poetry. Josef Lobodowski is called the successor of the “Ukrainian school” in the Polish literature of the twentieth century, because within the scope of his works he appeals to the beauty of Ukrainian nature, Ukrainian history and, equally important, the Ukrainian question. Josef Lobodowski dedicated his articles and poetry to this issue, since he considered it necessary to regulate Ukrainian-Polish relations. In this work, particular attention is paid to the poetic collection “Złota hramota” by Josef Lobodowski, since it may be regarded as a poetic appeal to a modern person, which is partly due to the title of the collection. This collection has a significant historical background and brings us back to the times when the Poles began their struggle for freedom from the Russian Empire and the restoration of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In addition to this, the entire collection is rich in Ukrainian national motives and reveals the national issue and a no less important issue of Polish-Ukrainian relations. However, one should evaluate the contribution of Josef Lobodowski also as a translator from the Ukrainian language who introduced the pearls of Ukrainian poetry such as Taras Shevchenko and Yevhen Malaniuk to ordinary Poles. All things considered, Josef Lobodowski as a poet, publicist, translator and just a man who was captured by Ukrainian history and culture, highlights important and topical questions in his works, as well as contributes to the popularization of Ukrainian cultural achievements on the world stage.

Al-Kindī is well known as the first great ‘Islamic philosopher’. In contrast to his eminent successors, i.e. al-Fārābī, Ibn Sīnā and Ibn Rushd, he adhered to the idea of a creation in time, not to that of the eternity of the world. He appears to have made this choice out of religious motives: certainly he did find support in the philosophical arguments of Philoponus, but one is inclined to believe that he accepted this point of view because of what revelation tells on this issue. However, in those works of his that have reached us, one finds almost no references to the Qur'an. In his philosophical treatises there are, as far as I can see, explicit references to Qur'anic ayas in only three texts; the first two cases refer to Q. 36:78–82, and the third to Q. 6:55. In this article, an in-depth analysis of both fragments will be given and special attention will be paid to the – apparently outspoken, philosophical – interpretation that is given. Moreover, the extent to which al-Kindī designates or does not designate God in terms derived from the Qur'an will be examined. It is hoped that in this way al-Kindī's attitude towards the Qur'an can be determined with precision.

Interpretations of Wuthering Heights often focus upon the grand passions of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and the striking bond between them. But full and detailed consideration of the novel discourages the assumption that Emily Brontë is wholeheartedly endorsing their point of view, or any other. She consistently presents all her characters, Heathcliff and Catherine included, as blind to the world as others see it, and consequently as holding views that do not do justice to the fullness of things. Largely because of their myopia, all are ever at odds with one another, often physically, but usually conceptually, engaging in indecisive wars of words, benighted battles of too limited views. The battles occur as well within Catherine and Heathcliff, whose divided hearts reflect the confused divisions in the world at large. And the reader is fully implicated in the inconclusive conflicts, for his formulations and sympathies are repeatedly betrayed. Wuthering Heights provides him with no standard of judgment that comprehends the restricted ones of the characters, no privileged point of view to relieve his uncertainties. Whatever her intentions, Emily Brontë is clearly not just throwing her being vicariously into the lives of Heathcliff and Catherine. She possesses strong critical impulses and many contrary views, only one of them being that of Heathcliff.

The article analyzes the works of the writer Bolat Kanatbayev "Forty days of July", "Wind from the sea", which left a valuable legacy, although he left the world of literature early, from an artistic, thematic and ideological point of view. It is said that the author skillfully uses such methods as dialogue, characterization, landscape, which he uses to make the problem understandable to the reader. At the same time, for the first time in the history of Kazakh literature, the writer reveals the fate of the oilmen, their difficult and complicated life. The author raises the ecological threat to the Kazakh land through the tragic fate of oil workers and the need to prevent it. One of the units that make up the writer's own style is the peculiarity of the character, which is reflected in the concrete images, the ways in which they are created.

Due to analysis of the medical texts from the same author we can see a realization of the scientific model of the world by choice of an actual discursive space. As his/her aim is to translate his/her point of view to the readers, author can do it directly, in an accessible and easy way, for non-specialists, or indirectly, sharing his/her knowledge, experience and ideas with colleagues. According to the need for analysis of communicative strategies and tactics of the contemporary medical discourse, an actuality of the article is associated with an analysis of linguistic and stylistic methods of creating both types of texts.

Once of the largest event in the world culture of the twentieth century is premiere of the Seventh Symphony by D.D. Shostakovich in Kuibyshev. It took place on March 5, 1942 and is described in detail. The author of the article puts forward a hypothesis about the fixed image of Shostakovich in the citys homosphere, namely as the author of themilitary Symphony. Other works created by him in the reserve capital did not receive a philosophical and cultural understanding. The article also presents a projective idea: Shostakovichs music as a communication and University promoter. The article describes for the first time the internationalization of the almanac and the exhibition Samaras Hommage. The Samara project with this name was presented to Bonn, at The Russian Consulate General, on the anniversary of the end of World War II. Professors from Europa universities were also invited to the presentation. For the first time, describes how to participate in the intercultural project of the writer CH.T. Aitmatov. The author conclusion that the Kuibyshev period of D.D. Shostakovich is significantly shortened and read far from completely, including in a scientific and communicative way.

The production and promotion of high-tech products and new technologies to the global market is an essential condition for the competitiveness of the country. Some states that do not have abundant natural resources have made a stake on the development of advanced technologies. This secured them a place among the world leaders in terms of economic growth and population’s living standards. In-depth analysis of world practices of facilitating innovation is a pre-requisite for formulating the recommendations on the conditions for innovative development and competitiveness of Russia. From this point of view, the experience of Finland and Israel, which have managed to solve the respective problems is very interesting. Besides Finland and Israel, a similar model of innovation development is used in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and several other countries. The advantage of this model is that it creates an opportunity for national leadership at the world market of innovation. The national companies engaged in the development of new technologies create markets for themselves. Namely, they generate new needs and satisfy them, thus, they do not have to follow the market.
