In this paper, we propose to discuss possible ways to develop the psyche of a modern person, more precisely, the features of the development of the subjective sphere on the example of the development of his spirituality in the conditions of the formation of modern society. The research is carried out in the context of L. S. Vygotsky’s cultural and historical approach to the study of the psyche, further consideration and clarification of which in its entirety was carried out in the works of human dialectics philosophers (E. V. Ilyenkov, A. S. Arsenyev, V. S. Bibler, F. T. Mikhailov). The paper shows that a necessary condition for the implementation of the dialectical approach to the study of the human psyche is its consideration in interaction with the surrounding world. In this regard, the analysis of the activity performed by the subject is presented as having a dual nature, in accordance with the duality of the world in which a person lives. Based on the analysis of the duality of the activity performed by the subject, it is proposed to consider the mechanism of interaction between its two sides: semantic and operational-technical in the logic of Dialogue (V. S. Bibler). The process of mental development of a person is characterized as a constant interaction of two sides of the activity (consciousness), where one of them is a stimulus for the development of the second, which allows us to characterize the entire cycle of activity. The analysis of the interaction process of the content of the performed activity in accordance with the changing meanings of the subject allows us to show differences in the logic of its development. The logic of cause-and-effect relations and goal-setting logic are characterized, each of which is applicable to a certain type of activity: with objects of the material world and living people. As a result, based on the analysis of observed phenomena in life, the factors that contribute to and hinder the mental development of a person are presented.

The article is devoted to finding ways to overcome conservatism in cultural and educational practices, analyzing traditional and innovative cultural and educational experiences in modern education. The authors consider education as a phenomenon that has a dual nature, which is closely related to the development of cultural traditions and civilizational innovations. The article shows that in the conditions of social turbulence, unpredictabi­lity and uncertainty, constant acceleration in technological and social processes, the cultural and educa­tional practices are lagging behind the demands of modern society. Rooted in the core of the cultural and educational matrix, they restrain the development of our society, in which new generations, born in the conditions of information and digital revolution, have come. These generations have a different worldview, values, attitudes towards career, free time, environmental and safety issues. Their vital elements are the virtual world and the world of modern gadgets with all the ensuing consequences. Generational rift exacerbates problems in the education system, which is changing very slowly. New generations need to be taught not traditionally but taking into account their needs and new technologies. The article provides a number of concrete examples related to the points of growth of cultural and educatio­nal innovations, suggests a number of actions that can lead to formation of new higher education mo­dels that meet the demands of modern society, new type of universities called digital or universities 4.0. In addition, the authors draw attention to the fact that culture and education have similarities and diffe­rences in their nature and functioning. Culture and education are interdependent, which does not negate significant differences between them. Culture, by its nature, is a self-constructive system, and edu­cation is built in accordance with a specific goal setting. The authors consider that the best option is the one in which in the processes of interaction and, especially, interinfluence of culture and education, priorities will be on the side of culture.


Back in the late 1950s, C.P. Snow famously defined science negatively by separating it from what it was not, namely literature. Such polarization, however, creates more problems than it solves. By contrast, the two co-editors of the book have adopted a dialectical approach to the subject, and to the numerous readers who keep asking themselves “what is science?”, we provide an answer from an early modern perspective, whereby “science” actually includes such various intellectual pursuits as history, poetry, occultism, or philosophy. Each essay illustrates one particular aspect of Shakespeare’s works and links science with the promise of the spectacular. This volume aims at bridging the gap between Renaissance literature and early modern science, focusing as it does on a complex intellectual territory, situated at the point of juncture between humanism, natural magic and craftsmanship. We assume that science and literature constantly interacted with one another, making clear the fact that what we now call “literature” and what we choose to see as “science” were not clearly separated in Shakespeare’s days but rather part of a common intellectual territory.

Today, worldview, spiritual and moral problems that have always been reflected in education and upbringing come to the fore in society. In this situation, there is a demand for philosophical categories. One of the priority goals of education in modern conditions is the formation of a reasonable, reflexive person who is able to analyze their actions and the actions of other people. Modern science is characterized by an understanding of the absolute value and significance of childhood in the development of the individual, which implies the need for its multilateral study. In the conditions of democratization of all spheres of life, the child ceases to be a passive object of education and training, and becomes an active carrier of their own meanings of being and the subject of world creation. One of the realities of childhood is philosophizing, so it is extremely timely to address the identification of its place and role in the world of childhood. Children's philosophizing is extremely poorly studied, although the need for its analysis is becoming more obvious. Children's philosophizing is one of the forms of philosophical reflection, which has its own qualitative specificity, on the one hand, and commonality with all other forms of philosophizing, on the other. The social relevance of the proposed research lies in the fact that children's philosophizing can be considered as an intellectual indicator of a child's socialization, since the process of reflection involves the adoption and development of culture. Modern society, in contrast to the traditional one, is ready to "accept" a philosophizing child, which means that it is necessary to determine the main characteristics and conditions of children's philosophizing.

Migration is one of the oldest and most used strategies for overcoming negative social issues. Despite the fact that it is historically deeply rooted, environmental migration as a social phenomenon has only recently become the subject research of numerous scientific fields. However, the study of current environmental migration is characterized by a number of issues, such as absence of an adequate definition and multi-causality of environmental migration. In this paper, through conceptual framework, author analyzed two main questions: who are environmental migrants and what reasons cause environmental migration. Due to the destruction of the global environmental balance, as well as accumulated environmental disturbances, it is likely that environmental migration will increase in future and there is nowhere you cannot make more use of scientific and professional projection of the future than in demographic and environmental spheres of human life. There is no doubt that our future is unpredictable. However, the environmental factors influencing the pattern of human interaction with the environment must be taken into account when projecting future development of the modern society. Such is the context in which the complex relation among migration, change and the environment has to be studied. In order to establish the basis for controlling environmental migration caused by negative changes in the environment, it is necessary to adopt a consistent strategy instead of ad hoc activities that are being used. In this paper, author analyzed societal response for the challenges caused by environmental migration, specifically regarding actions related to governing environmental migrations.

The justification of plans and programs is a necessary condition of the relationship between systems of education, both obligatory and voluntary, and the publics they serve. Those who are responsible for the conduct of the educational enterprise in general and the schooling of the young in particular must provide those who support the system, financially and otherwise, with acceptable and defensible reasons for the efforts and activities of the schools. The idea of justification in education rests on the assumption that the process of schooling, whatever its form and content, is subject to rational control and that the authority for the conduct of schools is derived from the principles inherent in the justification offered. A proferred justification is most effective and likely of acceptance when the positions it generates on educational issues fit the general fabric of ideals and aspirations of the society to which it is addressed. If, as we believe, justification is a necessary part of the rhetoric which surrounds legislatively determined and state maintained school systems—i.e., systems whose right to existence is not subject to question or doubt in any modern society and where attendance is required by law—then it follows that it is of even greater significance for voluntary school systems which lack the coercive power of their governmental counterparts—i.e., Jewish education.

Considering artistic creativity through the prism of socio-philosophical prob­lems, the author reveals the reasons and the course of the increasing subordina­tion of culture to the market and capital in the process of evolution of modern society. The article shows that this subordination becomes most intense due to the expansion of the total market of simulacra – a system that is becoming dominant in the 21st century. The dominance of simulacra on the market de­velops to the extent that the main object of not only economic, but all social transactions are signs that have no basis (denotatum) – simulacra. This process of increasing subordination to the total market of simulacra extends not only to the external (sale of the results of artistic creation, which was typical for the previous market), but also to the internal life of culture, including the goals, values, motives of the artist’s activity and transforming co-creativity into alien­ated market relations. This transformation is transforming the market for manuscripts into a market for “inspiration”. The author identifies contradic­tions specific to this process, including the dual nature of the brand, artifact, glamour and the measure of the transformation of cultural phenomena into an “empty sign”.

The subject of this research is modern celebratory culture in the context of impact of globalization processes upon festivities. The author explores a new phenomenon that emerged in the early XXI century – a “global holiday” within the framework of sociocultural transformations related to transition of humanity towards the Digital Age, and formation of the global information space. Special attention is given to the following aspects: creation of media and post-mythological global holidays of the Digital Age, and transformation of the traditional holiday into new metanational forms. The methodological foundation for studying the holidays that received the status of "global" in modern culture became the adaptation of “head page method” applied in sociological, cultural and futurological research and sociocultural monitoring, including overt observation. The conclusion is made that modern culture marks the formation of several types of global holidays that carry metanational character: the first group includes media-produced holidays associated with post-folklore and post-mythology of modern society, or represent celebratory events as award ceremonies in the field of politics, art and science; the second group includes ethnic traditional holidays that received the global status (Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Mexican Day of the Dead, Holi “Festival of Spring”, etc.). The phenomenon of global holidays should be taken into account in creation of the national strategies of cultural policy, and the global holiday itself may become one of the "soft power" tools in the Digital Age.

The study of mysticism must be carried on with more attention paid to the meditative techniques used by mystics and to the problems of perception. In this paper the author presents some remarks on the difference between Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross, and then mentions some recent studies of meditation and some problems of perception. If meditative techniques have become of great importance in psychotheraphy, the organismic approach of the "mindcurers" and their results will permit us to complete phenomenological descriptions of mystic conscious states with more exact information of their physiological conditions. In this way "mystical experiences" in general can be seen as results of meditative techniques and we need not regard "an hysterical predisposition" of the subject as their necessary condition.

The main purpose of the presented article is to reveal the potential of social psychological knowledge for the analysis of radicalisation of young people. In the introduction, the features of socialisation in the modern world are discussed. Special attention is drawn to the role of the Internet in the socialisation of adolescents and young people. It is noted that the dominance of audiovisual information contributes to the reduction of reflexivity and promotes the so-called clip thinking, which has become an integral characteristic of adolescents and young people. It is emphasized that life in the modern society is associated with a number of changes taking place simultaneously at different levels, and uncertainty has become its important feature. Extremism and radicalisation are considered as a reaction to uncertainty, a way to overcome it. The main part of the article is devoted to the analysis of models of radicalization describes in various works. Finally, perspectives of further investigation into the subject are outlined.
