The theory of argumentation is supposed to be related to rationality. Traditionally, rationality was defined in terms of logic, and at the same time considered an essential part of the theory of argumentation. But dialectic, in its traditional sense, is also associated with rationality. Thus, rationality reveals the connection between two disciplines, rheto- ric as a theory of adequate communication and formal logic as a theory explaining the preservation of truth from premises to the conclusion. This unity of the two aspects of the dialectic conversation reveals the connection between the formal and material aspects of argumentation as a rational basis of scientific research.

The article discusses the reasons for the emergence of intensional structures in mathematical discourse with the example of the proof of the Second Gödel Theorem on the incompleteness of arithmetic. It is shown that one of the reasons for intensionality is the conceptual structure, including the transition from strictly mathematical formulations to their interpretation. Three stages of intensionality are analyzed - coding, constructing a predicate of proof, and constructing a self-reference sentence. It is shown that the choice between the alternatives at each stage is the source of intensionality

The article presents the problem of epistemic disagreement as part of social epistemology, particularly considering the conditions of rational disagreement (equal weight view). Against this background some versions of epistemic “bootstrapping” are addressed that serve to give advantage to one of the disputing parties. As a result, a conclusion is drawn that the kinds of bootstrapping portrayed are epistemically irrelevant, which also casts doubt on Bayesian epistemology, for it mixes two different types of rational decision making - practical and epistemic.

The problem of the formation of the Russian model of management is interdisciplinary; it requires a whole range of approaches developed in various branches of knowledge. The philosophy of management is intended to serve as a common conceptual and interdisciplinary foundation that provides a holistic perception and understanding of management. It allows to view this phenomenon as a unity of science, practice and art. Among the axiological problems of the philosophy of management, the problems of organizational culture take center stage. To understand this phenomenon, we need a set of basic ideas about human nature, the meaning and form of activity, social reality, relationship with the external environment, the nature of human relations, etc. This notion of organizational culture can only be formed with a philosohical approach that allows implementing the integrating function of philosophy. The paper shows that the values of paternalism and security will be the near future priorities defining the development of Russian organizational culture.

The content characteristics of the concept of sociocultural are identified and analyzed. It is shown that methodological and substantive duality is a basic characteristic of this concept, that defines its development during the XX-XXI centuries. This contributes to a multiplicity of interpretations and allows to relate the sociocultural approach to some other methodologies. The possibilities of interpretation of the concept of sociocultural associated with its duality are analyzed. Its possible use for the analysis of transforming societies is considered.

The article analyzes the existing approaches to the study of weltanschauung security. The synergetic approach and the theory of sustainable development are highlighted among the most developed philosophical approaches to weltanschauung security. The urgency of using the methodology of information approach to the study of weltanschauung security is substantiated. The information approach describes society as a communication network where any interactions are mediated by the processes of information exchange between social actors. In this case, the factors of weltanschauung security is not so much a specific message, but more general factors of information kind: the principles of generation, processing and interiorization of information. Teaching these basic principles of working with information will contribute to the weltanschauung security of the individual, preventing mind manipulation.

The study examines revolutionary waves - the process of spreading protest activity from one society to another. The author reveals the specifics and analyzes the nature of relations within the “red wave” in post-war Asia in the 40s - 70s of the twentieth century. The paper explains the structural, ideological and organizational relationship between these revolutions (uprising, partisan wars) using the world system analysis, demographic and structural theory, the theory of military revolutions, and the neo-Marxist model of B. Moore. These approaches helped to explain the authoritarian, dirigiste an egalitarian Asian “wave”, and also highlighted two ideologically and organizationally separate “waves”

The paper considers the socio-cultural aspects and consequences of international migration. It singles out factors that facilitate and impede the integration of immigrants into the host society and shows the importance of religion in strengthening inter-ethnic relations. The article uses the results of three empirical studies: of migrant Muslims and the population of Novosibirsk.

This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of the concept of «civil religion» as defined by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Robert Neelly Bellah. The historical transition of civil religion interpretations from the universal and natural to the particular and positive has been substantiated. The reasoning of the theoretical insufficiency of civil religion as a multicultural state border is given.

The article presents bioethics as a field of social practices containing adaptation of new moral and social norms. The regulatory function of bioethics ensures this process and leads to institutionalization. The traditional position has been criticized. It reduces the institutions of bioethics to ethical committees. Social institutions are explained in an ideational way as a system of norms and values. Ethoses are shown as primary social structures in the development of institutions. The solution of dilemmas is illustrated by the example of transplantology.

The analysis of state management based on system and structural-functional approaches allowed to identify the current needs of its development, and demonstrate that it performs the tasks of control and regulation, including the transformation of inter-ethnic and rural communities in the regions of Siberia. It is revealed that the state ethnic and agrarian policy does not solve the problem of economic and socio-cultural transformations in the life of communities. It is shown that the optimal solution to this problem would be the regulatory impact assessment (RIA), as well as the construction of theoretical models for the practical implementation of state regulation of transformation processes. The structure of the theoretical model of socio-cultural regulation of transforming communities is proposed.

The paper deals with the problems of using the methodology of the analysis of rural local communities with the help of information technologies. It defines the prerequisites, methodological approaches, goals, stages and expected results of modeling the socio-economic development of the village. It is noted that modelling allows to fuller, better and quicker trace changes in the standard of living of rural residents, identify the dominant economic structures, basic models of socio-economic and socio-cultural adaptation, the processes of innovation in the village, affecting the development of the socio-economic potential of the agro-industrial complex. It also highlights methodological principles, classification functions of institutional and sociocultural transformations in rural areas.

Speaking about the philosophy of mind researchers address the concept of «qualiа». In spite of the fact that this term entered the philosophical discourse at the beginning of the 20th century, the legitimacy of its use is still in question. The starting methodological point of the dispute is whether it is necessary to study the quality nature of consciousness separately or we can treat this problem as part of the language description of the functional activity of the brain. One of arguments in favor of the latter point of view is the novelty of the term. The author provides arguments that the problem field of qualia was formed in ancient philosophy. Rethought later as the problem of universals, the idea of the subjectivity of experience accompanies in the history of philosophy the questions related to human consciousness.

Interest in chance, as a special ontological category, arises with the development of philosophy and science. The history of philosophy has several interpretations of this category: from the complete denial of its existence, to the proclamation of a special type of relationship. In our opinion, chance, despite the diversity of interpretations, has always been an important factor for the implementation of a method designed to determine how tightly philosophy and science can interact. The category of chance is a very accurate indicator of the change of worldview and the creation of new landmarks of knowledge. Turning to the formation of chance as a metaphysical category will help us to identify the main aspects of its influence on scientific knowledge.

It is established that Melissus associated with the concept of “the one” all-encompas- sing “all-one”, uniting in itself, as in “whole”, an infinite number of particles, which in their likeness should be, as “one single whole”. And this similarity means similarity in homogeneous existence. Homogeneity - embracing the entirety of “single” and ”multiple”, “single” and “parts”. Additionally it is established that Melissus considered existing material principles and material elements, which remain unchanged, like “whole” at levels beyond human sensory perception (sight, hearing, etc.). It was revealed that Melissus denied the possibility of knowing the true essence of things and bodies with the help of these senses. The world from the perspective of the infinite, eternal “one” is knowable, according to Melissus, only by reason.

The article discusses the thesis according to which Protagoras’ myth in the dialogue of the same name by Plato originates in its core from the historical Protagoras. Although the author aligns with this thesis’ supporters, the analysis of the myth in the context of the dialogue as a whole, including dramatic features of the latter, allows her to presume that the myth is intended not so much to convey the views of the famous sophist as to contribute to the creation of the satirical image of his through which Plato ridicules Protagoras’ philosophical and pedagogical ambitions.

The article contains a complete list of different texts from the Corpus Aristotelicum translations into Russian during the selected chronological period. It also provides some information about the translators of these texts. As a result of this research the main periods of the history of Russian translations of Aristotle’s texts were defined, as well as the reasons that motivated translators to turn their attention to the ancient heritage, and the target audience of these translations.

It is established that the desire for independence from external circumstances is not a common feature for Greek philosophy in the period of early Hellenism. The strengthening of this feature in the early Hellenistic philosophy was associated with the formation of Hellenistic monarchies. Recognition of dependence on external conditions, primarily on politics and friendship, was associated with the preservation of the policy system.

This article deals with a variety of opinions concerning impassibility of God in the early Christian thought of the first three centuries. Along with obvious similarities of this concept with the stance of the ancient philosophical theology certain differences also present themselves, the most obvious of which marks the presence of theopaschite formulas due to the doctrine of Incarnation. The viewpoints stretch from the rigid insistence on impassibility (Apologists, Clement of Alexandria) to a more flexible approach of Origen and, finally, to the statement that it is possible to speak of the divine suffering in some sense (Gregory Thaumaturgus). With no unified terminology worked out, Patristics of this period, nevertheless, managed to lay an appropriate framework enabling the development of metaphysics of «impassible suffering» of God in subsequent Christian philosophy.

The paper brings light to the conceptual foundations of the following discrepancies between the ideological positions of Hobbes and Spinoza. Rejecting the existence of the unnatural, Hobbes recognized the reality of the supernatural as the alleged result of a violation by the biblical god of what is happening according to the laws that he gave to nature created by him. Spinoza, identifying God with nature, recognized only the eternal natural, i.e. uncreated, and, practically identifying the supernatural and the unnatural, denied their existence. The recognition by Hobbes of the supernatural actually reveals his increased attention to the essential specifics of man, which are manifested in his creative activity, which creates from natural material that, which nature itself does not create. Hobbes gives this specific human ability to God. Spinoza, however, proceeds from the fact that nature itself realizes all its possibilities. He regards man as a part of nature and, accordingly, does not evaluate anything created by man as something superior to what exists in nature.
