The purpose of the article is to identify the essence of dance as a means of assimilating the sociocultural experience of the individual. The methodology of the research is based on interdisciplinary and systematicity characterizing the culturological knowledge. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is to formulate the problem of dance in the cultural dimension and in finding out the essence of dance as a means of assimilating socio-cultural experience due to the socio-cultural orientation laid down, which contribute to the full comprehension of the world of culture. Conclusions. Correlation with the eternal foundations of the world and with the most modern innovations makes dance a kind of model of cultural processes. Being a non-verbal system, the language of art performs an indirect function, however, dance - non-national, universal in its linguistic characteristics - does not need translation and therefore is capable of performing a unifying function. The educational and therapeutic possibilities of dance are important in the process of including the individual in the system of social relations; dance is an effective means of overcoming human disunity, acting as a standard of deep orientation towards the surrounding people, and develops the harmony of social understanding deeply rooted in a person.

The Right

“Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own”— this can be considered the basic philosophical principle of social relations just because it asserts the right of everyone to leave the territory of any state and therefore to escape the jurisdiction of any state. Although conditions in the world must change substantially for this principle to be always practicable, the import of its proclamation is the recognition that state sovereignty over the individual can be limited in the future.

More than any other, the food industry is extensively and inextricably involved in the “growth/zero growth” or “quantity/quality” dilemma. For food, as man's own source of energy, is the determinative element in mankind's formula for survival. As the apparatus for supplying this source of energy, the food industry thus plays a crucial role in the resolution of the crisis that could eventually determine the fate of mankind. The food industry, both in regard to the individual consumer in the store, and the world population as a whole, will have to give even greater attention to the quality of its overall contribution in terms of the ends achieved by its products. Such a change in emphasis implies a greater degree of social purpose and accomplishment, but does not mean an erosion of the profit factor. For without profits, private business—the food industry included—cannot continue to function as the most effective means of allocating resources that man has yet developed.

Historical Transition

The problem of the balance between society and personality, awareness of ‘individuality’, ‘personality’, as well as ‘publicity’ (publicness) are ranked among the central philosophical issues. There are many interpretations of them. And these matters remain critical in today’s ‘individualised’ society. Based on a philosophic-anthropological approach, and using comparative-historical methods, the authors trace the cultural-historical transformation of the subsistence of an individual in society from Antiquity to the present. An individual is characterised via such conceptions as ‘social type’, ‘individuality’, ‘personality’. The author’s interpretation of these concepts does not always coincide with the generally accepted one. In particular, the individual is often understood as an ‘ensemble of social relations’, i.e. as synonymous with the social. Furthermore, the authors define the term ‘social type’ as an expression of the societal, the term ‘individuality’ as a holograph or verge of the world, the absolute, mankind, whereas the term ‘personality’ is understood as an individuality rendered ‘in-being-with-others’. The main developmental trend in the relationship between the individual and society is the long cultural-historical transition from an individuality ‘outside the world’ to an individuality ‘in the world’. The authors justify the idea that an individualised society is not a society of individuals. Furthermore, the transformation of the conventional conception of publicness is revealed, the ephemerality of publicness in contemporary society in general, and particularly in virtual space, is highlighted. Publicness is substituted with cocktail parties, ‘cloakroom communities’, and shindigs. The article deals with the construction of virtual identity in the social media of the younger generation. At the end of the article, the authors conclude that in the contemporary world of multiple identities, a person has to look for life values, once again facing the problem of choice and a new understanding of freedom.

The Individual

Contra conventional wisdom, this introductory chapter proposes that the Civil War dead were understood in relation to four epistemic predicaments that shaped not only an American but a broadly Western modernity in the late nineteenth century: (1) a growing sense of the eᶊentially mediated character of all experience and a loᶊ of faith in the coherence of the individual subject; (2) the increasing dominance of the image in political and social relations and in shaping how Americans knew the world; (3) an erosion of traditional and nationalist views regarding the meaning of historical change and of the present’s relationship to the past; and (4) a newly secular emphasis on complexity, contingency, and chance in the workings of the world. These social and intellectual dilemmas provide an organizational scheme for the book, which is structured around four cultural archives: eyewitneᶊ accounts, visual art, histories of the war, and narrative fiction.

The Way

The purpose of education is to help the individual better to meet both present and future life situations. The process by which this purpose is realized continues throughout life and the means of education includes every phase of our environment which tends to modify the way in which we react to a given situation. Clearly the school is only one of the means of education. Within the school various forms of student activity are rightfully assuming an ever increasing importance, but at present most teachers look upon the recitation as the most important educative factor in the school. The function of the recitation seems to be to pass on to the next generation an accumulation of experience which school authorities believe to be essential to the welfare of society and in so doing to develop certain desirable abilities and capacities in the individual. Unfortunately in our attempt to realize this function we have separated our subject matter from its useful relationships and in the child’s mind it is a mass of material almost wholly unrelated to the world in which he lives, and our very attempts have defeated our purpose. This paper discusses certain fundamental principles which will compel a closer relationship between mathematics and out-of-school life and will therefore make the recitation a more effective means of renlizing the aim of education.

Listening to the Landscape for an Ecosophic Aesthetic

Listening to the landscape means hearing the world differently, this article contends. Since its theorization in the pictorial figuration of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, landscape has been conceived as a spatial extent delimited by the gaze of a spectator. In the late 1960s a more complex and sensitive approach to landscape, including reflection on its sound and acoustic aspects, began to emerge. Despite this new focus, a certain oculo-centrism still persists. The ecosophical approach — which complicates and goes beyond the antitheses of subject/object, ethics/aesthetics, nature culture — that is put forward here promotes a new aesthetic dimension focused on listening. Based on the notions of presence, holism and non-separation, this approach makes it possible to combine the individual and the collective imagination with social relations and natural processes.
