В публикации анализируется роль традиций в познавательной деятельности, представляющей собой сложный, часто противоречивый процесс познания мира, на основе исторически сложившихся традиций. Важное место отводится традициям этноса, формирующими его мировоззрения, поведенческие установки, отношение к окружающему миру, образ жизни. Представляется необходимым рассмотрение этнокультурных традиций как важнейшую форму познания мира представителями этноса, в ходе которой вырабатывается его ментальные особенности, понимание социальной реальности, формируется соответствующий образ жизни. The publication analyzes the role of traditions in cognitive activity, which is a complex, often contradictory process of understanding the world, based on historically established traditions. An important place is given to the traditions of the ethnos, which form its worldview, behavioral attitudes, attitude to the world around it, and way of life. It seems necessary to consider ethnocultural traditions as the most important form of cognition of the world by representatives of an ethnos, in the course of which its mental characteristics, understanding of social reality are developed, an appropriate way of life is formed.

Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi was a philosopher who influenced our era with his ‘humanist’ thoughts, his invitation towards everybody to friendship and brotherhood and his ideas about love and humanism. The museum, opened in his name in 1926 in Konya, Turkey, has been converted into a special place, describing Mevlevi’s way of life, telling the history of the Mevlana Dervish lodge and exhibiting related works with religious historical values.

Prema Shah’s “A Husband” and Rokeya S. Hossain’s “Sultana’s Dream” present two complementary versions of women’s world: the real in Shah and the imagined in Hossain aspire to make the other complete. The worldview that each author projects in their texts reasserts the latent spirit of the other one. The embedded interconnectedness between the authors under discussion reveals their unique association and bond of women’s creative unity towards paving a road for the upliftment of women in general. The paper seeks to find out the historical forces leading to the formation of a certain type of bond between these two authors from different historical and socio-cultural realities. Shah locates a typical Nepali woman in the protagonist in the patriarchal order while Hossain pictures the contemporary Bengali Islamic society and reverses the role of men and women. Hossain’s ideal world and Shah’s real world form two complementary versions of each other: despite opposite in nature, each world completes the other. Sultana moves to the world of dream to seek a new order because Nirmala’s world exercises every form of tortures upon the women’s self. Shah exposes the social reality dictating upon the women’s self while Hossain’s protagonist escapes into the world of dream where women control the social reality effectively and successfully. Overall, Shah and Hossain complement each other’s world by presenting two alternative versions of the same reality, creating the feminist utopia.

Thesis / Purpose of the article ‒ Books are (still?) one of the most important transmitters of thoughts and knowledge in time and space, and they provide a very important form of bond and communication among societies. In the economic dimension throughout the world and in individual countries, books have been marginal for hundreds of years. The global book market accounts for just over 0.5% of the global trade market, with an estimated annual value of USD 26-28 trillion. In Poland, this indicator is slightly higher, but still marginal. Methods – the author’s own experience, observations, and tracking of what is happening on the book market have allowed for capturing the most important trends. Conclusions ‒ The importance of the book and the role of reading are unquestioned. The book market is struggling with many problems (lack of a fixed price for a book, laws regarding books, a drop in sales, readership, diminishing importance of bookstores, etc.), which have additionally been aggravated by the pandemic.

The role of economic policy based on the neoliberal theory in depression of Ukraine’s economy is considered. It is proved that in Ukraine a plutocratic system has been formed, the basis of which is interpenetrating and mutually complementary interests of subjects of criminal economy and officials of power structures of all levels. Instead of the promised economy of general welfare and equality, the economy of absurdity and paradoxes is reproduced in society. Ukraine’s economy, once one of the most developed economies in the world, turned out to be the most backward in Europe, its people – the poorest, and its oligarchs – the richest (per US$100 thousand of GDP) in the world. There is no doubt that the reproduced system is unnatural and leads our society to a disaster. It is substantiated that Ukraine needs a decisive turn to a fundamentally new way of life, and consequently – to a change in the socio-economic structure of society. The answer to the existing problems and contradictions is to find a new system of theoretical knowledge, what is inherent in science (including social one). According to the author, to ensure the transition from depression to the growth of the national economy, our country needs to change the model of the market economy, with an emphasis on domestic economic development with a significant expansion of domestic demand, increased consumption and investment. This will contribute to economic sovereignty of the country and increase its export opportunities. An important place in this process should be given to the comprehensive plan for radical reconstruction of the national economy, with an emphasis on the re-industrialization of all spheres of the economy, rational allocation of productive forces and retraining of workers in accordance with the requirements of ITD. To do this, it is necessary to develop a long-term program of strategic development of the country, which should be based on the national interests.

Originally, hermeneutics was the interpretation of important texts. In the 19th century, hermeneutics transformed into a science about the meaning and interpretation of all expressions. In the 20th century, Martin Heidegger radicalized hermeneutics, indicating that understanding (the essence of hermeneutics) is not a technical or intellectual operation, but a way of being. The central point of reference in the article is the hermeneutic philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur. The central idea of Gadamer’s philosophy is understanding, which is connected with the so-called “rehabilitation of practical philosophy”. In such philosophy, the question concerning wisdom and thinking about the best possible way of life occupies an important place. Gadamer in his philosophy indicated the conditions of understanding. One of the main elements of his concept is hermeneutic experience, a negative experience, meaning awareness of the finite nature of all understanding. Complementation of Gadamer’s concept could be the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. He believed that there is not a correct method of interpretation and the best way to understand is the “conflict of hermeneutics”. Ricoeure discerned two forms of hermeneutics: “hermeneutics of trust” and “hermeneutics of suspicion”. The idea of hermeneutics is developed as an art of understanding, indicating the conditions and possibilities of interpreting texts, symbols and metaphors. An interesting addition to the philosophy of Gadamer and Ricoeur is Hans Blumenberg’s concept of metaphorology. He identified three basic positions of metaphors and the functions they perform: traditional, understanding a metaphor as inaccurate; pre-conceptual speech; and the unavoidable and irreplaceable nature of a metaphor. Under this concept lies the science of images through which man grasps himself and the world. Blumenberg explored the functions of various metaphors depicting truth (light, nudity), human life (sea travel, hiking, climbing) or the world (clock, machine, organism). Absolute metaphors, in addition to presenting the picture of the whole of reality, also play the role of orienting patterns, directing action. They contain certain value systems that determine attitudes, expectations, longings, interests, and indicate important or indifferent things or spheres, incline to certain actions or omissions.

The two books recently authored by Ernest Gellner and Akbar Ahmedon the subject of Islam and postrnodernism have attracted interest amongMuslims and non-Muslims. To me, it is a landmark in the continuing dialoguebetween Islam and the West. Has the rise of postmodernism in westernphilosophical thought meant an easier accommodation of Islam into contemporarywestern society, or is Islam intellectually at odds with the epistemologicalfoundations of postmodernism? These are some of the importantquestions addressed by Gellner and Ahmed. In view of the increasing culturaland intellectual globalization, not to mention the economic side, takingplace today, the place of Islam in contemporary thought and society can nolonger be safely isolated from "western" thought and culture.Unlike previous encounters, where victory was decided through militaryconfrontations, or in times of peace, where coexistence is maintainedthrough the separation of borders limiting influence and interaction, ours isa time when cultures and civilizations are interlocked. Hence, it is of theutmost importance that Muslims define their thought and philosophical positiondearly in relation to the West, if they insist on maintaining their identityand way of life in a world that is increasingly westernized. Part of theMuslim ummah's legitimacy derives from the sovereignty of its individualnations existing in the world community and from the intellectual strengthof its religious and philosophical position. Muslims cannot compromise onthat if they are to maintain their viability as an ummah in the contemporaryworld. Recent intellectual dialogues on Islam and the West, therefore,should acquire an important place in the Musim minds and agenda if theyare not to witness the further erosion of Islamic values and beliefs.In view of the importance of the discussions on Islam by Gellner andAhmed in their recent works, I now tum to an analysis of their books.Gellner on Islam, Rationalism, and PostmodernismAs opposed to previous binary polarities in history, Gellner believes thatour time is characterized by a competition between three irreducible ...
