Buddhism has lived with the Vietnamese people for more than 20 centuries; The link of communication has tightened Buddhism with the Vietnamese people into an inseparable block. The thought of Buddhism has imbued with the national spirit and profoundly influenced the world view and human outlook of the Vietnamese people. Up to now, many Buddhist researchers have offered different opinions, but they all have one thing in common: Humanity can hardly imagine the fact that about 2600 years ago there was a flesh and blood people with superhuman thoughts have lived on our planet. The human value of Buddhism has been expressed in the worldview and human life with a sharp and vivid view.

Integrative-inclusive moral education can be interpreted as a formulation of a broad and holistic moral education process. Moral education materials can work together with all subjects, school culture, extracurricular activities, and even with the community. It is said that the integrative scientific structure does not mean that the various sciences are merged into an identical form of science, but rather the character, style, and nature of the science are integrated in the unity of the spiritual material dimensions, revelation, secularl-religion, physical-spiritual, and the world hereafter. Integration requires the existence of a relationship or unification or synchronization or greet each other or alignment between each existing scientific fields. Each scientific field cannot stand alone, without greeting each other with other scientific fields. While inclusive education, is a matter relating to many aspects of human life based on the principles of equality, justice, and individual rights. So integrative-inclusive education means that an educational process must cover a broad and comprehensive scope. Integrative-inclusive moral education has a holistic scope.

Integrasi menghendaki adanya hubungan atau penyatuan atau sinkronisasi atau saling menyapa atau kesejajaran antar tiap bidang keilmuan yang ada. Setiap bidang keilmuan tidak dapat berdiri sendiri, tanpa saling menyapa dengan bidang keilmuan yang lain.

The patriarchal culture that is gender biased has been proven to bring a negative effect in the harmony of human life. Men and women ideally must complete one-another and support each other in different ways. However patriarchal culture has made men became the main actors, dominant and hegemonic, and women became the figurant side, on the border and unable to express themselves. This 'sidedness' in the world of informational technology is one of the real facts in this problem. This article tries to prove how women's access to the technological world has been 'walled' since the beginning and how women are positioned only as a profitable object by exploiting their body and sexuality by technological practitioners. In the end of this article, the writer advises the need of a world-view patriarchal deconstruction, a cultural revolution, and a reformation of social structure as a way out of this problem.

Very few studies are available to understand the philosophical views of Rabindranath Tagore in the light of his attitude and realization of Islam vis-à-vis idea of universalism. Fact remains that the Islamic civilization has thoroughly been recognized in the academic circles but its depth and learning have not been studied up to expectation. European historians and philosophers seem to be hesitant to acknowledge the contribution of Islamic civilization over the centuries. Even a majority of Eastern scholars are critical about welcoming the actual merit of Islam. Rabindranath Tagore being one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of poets and writers made a serious study on the philosophy and writings of many Muslim thinkers and ultimately brought to our notice an extraordinary feeling about Islamic ideas and philosophy. Rabindranth Tagore seems to have sought the inner meaning of Islam and developed a kind of value- based attitude towards human life and the universe. It is likely that through his Gitanjali and Religion of Man (Manusher Dharma) in particular were presented with an objective to stimulate and guide men in search of Ultimate Truth and Oneness of God. It is said that Rabindranth Tagore was acquainted with the verses of the Qur‟an in his childhood and in this respect his father Maharishi Devendranath Tagore imbibed in him many theological aspects of Islam as a religion. The paper intends to explore how Tagore was influenced by Islam and as a poet-thinker he nurtured the idea of eternal truth from the Upanishads, the Tripitakas as well as the Bible and through a particular discipline and inner uplift he came to the conclusion that aggregate of essentials of diversity cannot be judged in the light of mere logic and arguments. This feeling seems to have prompted Tagore to find out the inner truth of the universe and side by side to propagate the idea of universal humanism throughout the world.

The article is sanctified to consideration of the modern stateof conception of integral r ationalism, that originates theideological sources from the paradigm of Europe adogmatism. An author distinguishes her ontological andepistemological intensions that direc tly touch themodern mainstream of Interdisciplinary and thinking in complication. Postmetaphysical tendencies areexposed to the walkthrough in philo sophy, science, andreligions that gravitate to rapprochement as a generalmental structure of i ntegral rationalism of new Logos.The world view factors of the European thinking, that entail edthe crisis phenomena in the coexistence of countries ofEuropean Union, are studied, on the basis of adogmatic reflection of historical preconditions of European integration. The present day is the post-metephysical period of awareness of the need for a return to holistic thinking, the focus of which at present is synergetic. Science, remaining "a high-tech knowledge center", paves the way through interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity to the transversal mind, which is still an imaginary horizon of ontological unity of various types of rationality and the definition of reason as such. In theology, there is an acute reformist need for the creation of a "new intellectual non-church religion", which would first of all honor ethical and aesthetic functions that produce the moral safeguards of human life. Each aspect of integral rationalism is in a state of intrinsic imbalance, which is capable of showing the intentions of convergence (or dispersal in the event of deepening of the crisis trends) to each other through a sinergetic antagonism around the idea of the "faith is the entelechy of mind" integral rationalism. Such intentions arise primarily through the awakening of an ontological inquiry into the metaphysical unity of being and being in their hermeneutic circle. The world, immersed in a pathos train (stable perseverance) of globalization with the intention to change the existence in space measurements, made a fatal mistake, not taking into account that such a change is heavy for itself and the change of things, namely, human-being. The expectation that a person under the influence of technological pressure (since it was he who became the driving factor for global development) automatically turned into a "citizen of the world" did not materialize: the regionality of thinking, the location of traditions, nationalism, religious isoletionism, the existence of "poles of influence" on geopolitics and therefore the existence (human) among the technical revolutions is in the forgotten frontier of "globalization-anti- globalism".

One of the important problems of the modern nation-building and state-building in Ukraine is the insufficient inclusion of the creative potential of the Ukrainian national spirit in it, which, in turn, is caused by its weak orientation to self-knowledge by the means of philosophical and religious reflection. Considering that the main characteristic of the human spirit is its active-creative character, that is, its focus on both self-creation and self-perfection, and on the transformation of the surrounding reality, it is advisable to consider how the Christian idea of ​​creationism models the world-view and outlook of the Ukrainian national spirit . His decision largely depends on the incorporation of the collective will and mind of the Ukrainian into building a democratic state on the principles of truth, humanism, justice and good.

In the beginning of Islam no value had been given to the human life in the world. Savages killings of men by beasts, slaughtering them like animals and burning them just for entertainment of friends, were common .Under the Roman civil law slaves, were regarded  simply as things. Their masters possessed the power of life and death over them. The removal of the female womb and premature abortion of pregnancy was not considered illegal or immoral .The sacrificing of human being was also a religious custom. Woman had lost her respect and honour in the world so usually a man was losing his wife in a gambling game .A widow would often commit sittee (suicide) upon the death of her husband in Indian society. Killing wives by their husbands was like a killing of pet animals. The Syrians had been selling their kids to pay the government dues and debt. Every indebted person in Persia would sell himself like a slave. Self-torturing and killing by suicide was also common. Human flesh was cooked and sold in the food shortage of one thousand thirty. In short, the human value reduced to the level of cattle. These evils and cruel practices have been strictly banned by Islam for the preservation of human life.

There is a close link between culture and language. Phraseological units reflect the world view of definite nation, and the idioms with phytonyms make one of the biggest groups of phraseological units. Plants are an inseparable part of human life. They are used for making food, clothes and shelter; moreover, they play an important role in understanding of religious, symbolic, aesthetic components of culture. The article discusses the frequency of use of various phytonyms in English, Russian an Azerbaijan languages. Some idioms with phytonyms have the precise equivalents which lexical, grammatical and semantical structure coincide in these three languages, but most of such kind of idioms lack the precise equivalents, and while translating the most important thing is to preserve their semantics, expressiveness and imagery. The article also provides information about the origin of some of the idiomatic expressions with phytonyms. Key words: idioms, plants, culture, phytonyms, frequency of use of phytonyms, origin of idiomatical expressions with phytonyms

Since the beginning of the development of Islamic education has stood upright on two very important basic sources namely the Al-Quran and the sunnah of the prophet in the sacred scripture contained verses of mufasshalat (detailed) and verses of mubbayyinat (which provide proof of truth) that encourage humans to study and write and to study, think about and analyze the creation of heaven and earth. Islam since its inception shows the importance of education for human life. The first verse received by the prophet Muhammad is iqro "which contains a message about the command to deceive the potential of human reason, and that is at the core of education in Islam. However, it must be recognized that Islamic education at that time did not yet have a formal and systematic form, because the role of education at the beginning of the development of Islam was still limited to efforts to spread Islamic da'wah in the form of monotheism and religious ritual practices. While the teachings of religion that must be obeyed in human life, turned into mere spectacle. All show that the progress of science and technology in the 20th century, apparently not only brought something positive to human life, but also had a negative impact. By looking at various events that identify the lack of understanding of morality above, to provide a strong foundation for humans to come, it is necessary to innovate moral cultivation in the world of education or better known as moral education. In the world of education or better known as moral education. Whereas moral education is not far from implementing Islamic education. Thus the mastery and application of science and technology needs to be developed on the basis of ethics, morality and spiritual (imtaq) in the development of facing the era of improvement of science and technology, national development should also necessitate the importance of the value of faith and piety (imtaq) towards God. So as to create superior human resources according to Islam and be able to deal with the development of the era and era of globalization.

Медикализация человеческой жизни расширяет свои возможности и права в сферах, которые были/есть табу в координатах традиционной морали. В статье анализируется проблема конструирования будущего общества через создание «дизайнерских детей», в том числе для предотвращения инвалидизации населения с помощью биомедицинских ГМ-технологий. В отличие от ученых общественное мнение пока не готово к прогнозированию последствий, рассматривая биомедицину только как эффективный способ борьбы с болезнями. На уровне обыденного сознания нет предубеждений к исследованиям в данном направлении, лишь незначительная часть населения задумывается об отдаленных медицинских и социальных последствиях данных операций. В мире всегда существовали «ученые-еретики», работающие вне границ академий и институтов. Сегодня среди них могут быть и «биохакеры», чьи исследования финансируются частными лицами, заинтересованными в результатах для решения собственных целей и проконтролировать их работу не в силах ни один закон, ни одно государство, Среди ученых всегда были люди, готовые рискнуть всем ради нового слова в науке. В средние века они шли на костер, тем более не остановит научный прогресс наказание в несколько лет тюремного срока сегодня. Изменив этические границы для себя, они будут изменять мораль большинства. Пассивность общества сегодня спровоцирует политиков завтра на принятие решений, способствующих дальнейшей десакрализации человеческого тела в самых разных направлениях. The medicalization of human life expands its capabilities and rights in areas that were / are taboo in the coordinates of traditional morality. The article analyzes the problem of constructing a future society through the creation of “designer children”, including prevention of disability of the population with the help of biomedical GM-technologies. Unlike scientists, public opinion is not yet ready to predict the consequences, considering biomedicine only as an effective way to fight diseases. At the level of everyday consciousness, there are no prejudices towards research in this direction, only a small part of the population thinks about the long-term medical and social consequences of these operations. There have always been “heretic scientists” in the world who work outside the boundaries of academies and institutions. Today, there may be “biohackers” among them, whose research is funded by private individuals interested in the results to achieve their own goals and not a single law, not a single state can control their work. Among scientists there have always been people who are ready to risk everything for a new word in science. In the Middle Ages, they went to the stake, so even less the punishment of several years in prison today can stop scientific progress. By changing ethical boundaries for themselves, they will change the morality of the majority. The passivity of society today will provoke politicians tomorrow to make decisions that contribute to the further desacralization of the human body in various directions.
