It is known that Ivan Ogienko in his numerous scientific and theological works paid much attention to the problems of cultural development, to clarify its significance in the life of society. However, he did not leave the deep theoretical developments devoted to culturological issues. This does not mean at all that he was not interested in the theory of culture as a branch of knowledge, engaged in the scientific and philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of culture. However, there is no reason to say that he tried to reach the level of comprehension of universal laws of development of world culture, as was done by his contemporaries and predecessors - M. Ya. Danilevsky, K. Leontiev, M. Berdyayev, A. Spengler, A. Toynbee and others. There is also no reason to prove that I.Ogienko directly addressed the works of these and other prominent philosophers, historians and sociologists of culture, although it is likely that his acquaintance with their ideas is indirect. But despite this, it seems advisable to translate I. Ogienko's argument about culture into a cultural-conceptual analysis plane

This article examines the main lines of contemporary thinking about analysis in philosophy. It first considers G. E. Moore’s statement of the paradox of analysis. It then reviews a number of accounts of analysis that address the paradox of analysis, including the account offered by Ernest Sosa 1983 and others by Felicia Ackerman (1981, 1986, 1991); the latter gives an account of analysis on which properties are the objects of analysis. It also discusses Jeffrey C. King’s (1998, 2007) accounts of philosophical analysis, before turning to views of analysis that are not aimed at addressing the paradox of analysis, including those associated with David Lewis, Frank Jackson, and David Chalmers. In particular, it comments on Lewis’s argument that conceptual analysis is simply a means for picking out the physical state that occupies a certain role, where formulating what that role is constitutes a conceptual analysis of the relevant notion.

Conceptual Overview

Contemporary analyses of אלהים as generic concept tend to be based on psychological theories of concepts. This article, by contrast, attempts to show what a philosophical analysis of the concept of generic אלהים in the Hebrew Bible is concerned with when approached from the perspective of the classical or definitionist view of conceptual structure. However, rather than offering a conceptual analysis of generic אלהים in any given context, the discussion features a general meta-conceptual overview of the classical theory and the pros and cons of applying it to the concept in question.

Selection Of

The subject of this research is the conditions, under which in the transitional periods that are defined by the author as “sociocultural transformation”, is carried out the selection of cultural-dominant characteristics forming the essence of the next gradual stage in the dynamics of culture. These conditions are determined based on the analysis of the dynamics of culture of the European (Euro-Atlantic) civilization. The author considered such transitional periods as Late Hellenism, Renaissance and Reformation, avant-garde and postmodernism, which represent the sociocultural transformation between Antiquity, Middle Ages and Modern Age respectively. The method of philosophical interpretation of the cultural phenomena of European (Euro-Atlantic) civilization became the key method for this research. The main conclusion of this work consists in description of  such semantic vectors of sociocultural transformation as relativization of meanings, paralyzation of meanings, principle of doubt and uncertainty, and separation with the preceding cultural tradition. These semantic vectors orient towards upward tendency of cultural development.

The article examines Immanuel Wallerstein’s views, set out in a number of his articles, on some processes of cultural development. The multidimensional nature of the concept of culture, the phenomenon of national culture, and the opportunity of constituting a world culture are studied. The article also focuses on the issue of universalization of culture and on correlation of this process with the globalization. Connection between the fundamental topic of his research, the world-system approach and its applicability to an analysis of the modern world, and the interpretation of specific problems of cultural knowledge is shown.

Methods for gaining qualitative understanding, in the specific sense defined by Jonathan Kvanvig, of sets of information instantiated in documents, in the context of library/information research, are reviewed and compared. A number of methods are relevant to this kind of study, including critical and systematic reviewing, meta-ethnography, historical analysis, philosophical analysis, content and discourse analysis, and grounded theory. It is concluded that, while such studies are carried out in library/information research, there is no agreement on the most appropriate methods. It is suggested that the most appropriate methodology is based on critical interpretive synthesis, carried out in the style of ethnographic, chronological or conceptual analysis.

One of the aspects of the complex linguo-cognitive description of the concept UDACHA (LUCK) and the features of its linguistic representation in Russian speech is presented in the article. Attention is paid to the discourse actualization of models of conceptual metaphorization of the word luck as a basic representative of the concept of the same name. The aim of the research is to analyze cognitive models and conceptual schemes of metaphorical reification and animation of the concept UDACHA, actualized in contexts. The research material was extracted from the Russian National Corpus and collected in the course of the Internet monitoring conducted by the author of the article. The method of research is the procedure of conceptual analysis adopted in the Nizhny Novgorod school of concept research. The question is raised that the rethinking of abstract entities through concrete-sensory representations is generally characteristic of the folk-mythological perception of the world, presented in the “naive” picture of the world, reflected in natural language. It is shown that in metaphorical models of reification, luck is figuratively represented as an inanimate concrete-sensual object, as a point localized in space, as a substance, as a container (receptacle), as a physical environment. It has also been established that in metaphorical models of animation and / or personification, luck is metaphorically represented either in general as a living, actively acting entity, or as a supernatural or human being. It is concluded that in the Russian linguistic consciousness, the cognitive schemes of the linguistic conceptualization of the world are active and stable, which arose at the early stages of the spiritual evolution of the Russian world and have a centuries-old tradition not only in Russian, but also in world culture.

The philosophical analysis of the content of the modern university's work leads to an understanding of commercialization and professional localization in the training of specialists. The ways of determining the essence of a modern university are grounded: elite, mass, niche, regional, pragmatic, ecological, and others. It is argued that the commercialization of education is conditioned by an increase in the level of technology impact on the dynamics of cultural development, globalization and informatization of society. Accordingly, traditional notions of academic freedom and the value of science and education are inferior to considerations of pragmatic feasibility and utilitarianism. The idea of ​​the perniciousness of such a trend in education that threatens the personality deformation and the possible risks of global catastrophes is upheld  in the paper.

The article presents a conceptual analysis of the intercultural model of development of modern cities, with an emphasis on the selection strategy and activity of axiological approach to developing models of modernization of a modern city, marked specific features of urban culture - multicultural, multipolarity interests, values, needs and opportunities for groups. Revealed that about the virtualization of the social space and the introduction of information and communication technologies, which express a qualitative difference between the interaction of the urban population as a unit of sociocultural stratification of the culture of a particular regional community, are determined by particularly significant factors influencing the formation of the modern sociocultural space of a multi-ethnic city. The tendencies of participation in the formation of the sociocultural space of Ukrainian cities by wide circles of the public with the active and consistent participation of citizens in exercising control over cultural policy are characterized and organizational conditions for sustained feedback from the public and authorities. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the practice of sociological support of the development processes of multi-ethnic Ukrainian urban communities in the context of the implementation of the European intercultural strategy are considered. The emphasis is on solving the problems of a sociological study of the needs of the urban community in the information environment and the complication of sociocultural relationships between the subjects of the processes of modernization of the cultural urban environment. The need for a systematic combination of sociological approaches based on the integration of the concepts of the city’s public space, the resource concept of the city, the concept of socialization, the socio-cultural capital of the city, the concepts of sociocultural identification and urban identity is stated. The author 's case was the conclusion that the processes of maintenance practices for the development of multi-ethnic Ukrainian urban communities in the context of the European strategy for intercultural indicate significant prospects of sociological studies of social and cultural development of the Ukrainian regional multicultural cities. The article emphasizes that the following areas are relevant: the development of research criteria for potentially productive sectors of the development of the sociocultural urban environment and the factors of activation of interested social groups in the context of the implementation of strategies and objectives of the concept of interculturalism.

Empirical Approaches

Many leadership researchers aim to advise organizations about how to select and develop ethical leaders, to tell business educators how to teach people to be ethical, or to describe ethical leadership. Yet for these tasks, empirical approaches that address questions about ethics with surveys, experiments, and case studies are insufficient on their own in answering the question, “what should a leader do?” I first argue that descriptive approaches to leadership ethics, such as conceptual analysis, case studies, survey research, and lab experiments, cannot on their own tell us what a leader ought to do when he or she faces a morally difficult circumstance. I then show that the question “what should a leader do?” can be addressed through philosophical analysis. Though philosophers disagree about the nature of morality, most agree that there are truths about morality and that we can make progress in learning about how to live and lead ethically. To close, I consider and respond to the objection that philosophical approaches to leadership ethics are intolerant or authoritarian. I conclude that philosophical approaches to leadership ethics are essential to our evolving understanding of what a leader ought to do.
