The article deals with the problem of the intensionality of mathematical discourse in the light of the theorem of Löb. Proceeding from the fact of equivalence of the Löb theorem and the Second Gödel incompleteness theorem, as well as the fact of the intensionality of the latter, the problem of demonstrating the intensionality of Löb’s theorem is formulated. It is shown that this intentionality has an implicit character, explained by the “weirdness” (as expressed by G. Boolos) of this theorem.

The paper considers the possibilities for the axiomatization of disquotational truth theory in perspective of the general S. Shapiro’s non-conservative argument against deflationary concept of truth. It shows that in a generalized formulation, Shapiro’s argument cannot be automatically extended to any axiomatic formulation of the disquotational theory. It also shows that the epistemological justification of the suitable class of substitutions for the T-scheme is the key to constructing an adequate axiomatic disquotational theory.

The paper treats the “ought implies can” principle as a normative dilemma in relation to epistemic and moral obligations. It shoes that the standard interpretation of this principle as a contraposition is not the only possible one or heuristically interesting. The author draws on the examples of obligations and actions of different types to show how it is possible to shift the focus from the modality of possibility to the modality of obligation. It allows to explain a number of actions not adequately described in traditional moral theory. It also helps to understand the links between moral and epistemic imperatives.

Suicidal behavior in the modern scientific world is considered from the perspective of different disciplines (sociology, anthropology, philosophy, etc.), but psychiatry stands out in this list, because it can directly impact the suicider. Antipsychiatry, considered as a space of problematization and criticism of psychiatry, concerns both the foundation of psychiatry and individual situations related to the implementation by psychiatrists of their functions. This is why the phenomenon of suicide attracts the attention of one of the prominent representatives of the American anti-psychiatrist movement - T. Szasz. The key point in suicide analysis for T. Szasz is that suicide is considered as a phenomenon closely associated with mental disease, thus, it is medicalized. In this case, it becomes much more important, why suicide as a phenomenon turns into an object of study of psychiatry. T. Szasz refers to this transformation as a transition from a sin-and-crime to an illness-as-excuse. He fairly points out that the emergence of an explanatory suicide model within the framework of psychiatry made it possible for suiciders to change their category from those accused and rejected from Christian burial and rights of inheritance to those affected by a disease, and requiring medical treatment. Besides, T. Szasz emphasizes the situation, in which suiciders find themselves in a mental health institution. The main feature of this situation is restriction of personal freedom and the ability to have a life worth living.

The author analyzes the place and role of the humanities in the modern structure of scientific activity from the point of view of utility. You can see that discussions of this kind are characteristic not only of domestic, but also foreign science. There are numerous examples of substantiation of general cultural, ideological and narrowly utilitarian understanding of the usefulness of humanitarian knowledge in a modern university. The conclusion offers our own interpretations of the answer to the posed questions.

The article deals with the problem of the epistemological status of the complementarity principle in socio-humanitarian studies. It clarifies the content of the principle of complementarity and the possibility of its application from the point of view of its methodological significance for studying the interdependence of language, world view and the picture of the world. It is shown that the authentic application of the principle is possible within the framework of a constructionist epistemological model, subject to a number of methodological requirements for the organization of the research process. To correlate the complementary description languages in the designated problem area, the interdisciplinary conceptual apparatus of cultural studies seems productive.

The paper considers institutional mechanisms and substantive approaches to managing the processes of migrant integration into the host community. The analysis is carried out in the framework of studying practical models for regulating the transformation of polyethnic communities and uses data from several countries in the European Union. It is shown that the models of practical regulation of integration processes are based on the understanding of integration as a two-way process and are primarily expressed in changes in social institutions and relations between them. Thus, at the supranational level a combination of directive and recommendatory forms of influence on integration policies is significant, at the national level - the principles of individual and inclusive approaches within the framework of the introduction of a set of regulatory policies of the “mainstream”, at the local level - integration initiatives of the municipal level and interaction with the non-governmental sector. Of special note is the significant role of monitoring integration processes and integration policies. It has been noted that integration practices in Russia are based on understanding integration as a one-sided process and contribute to the realization of its cultural function, while in the EU countries - to its structural and social functions. The paper offers the conclusion about the possibility of applying some of the considered mechanisms and approaches in strategies for managing and regulating migration processes in the Russian Federation.

The article shows the role of language as a factor in the formation of interethnic attitudes of young people in different socio-cultural conditions by comparing models of national politics in the republics of Sakha (Yakutia) and Khakassia, as well as the results of empirical research. It is revealed that “soft” (permissive-recommendatory) and “hard” (directive-obligatory) regional models of language legislation in the education system lead to contradictory results. The “soft” model is more integrative in the aspect of interethnic relations, but strengthens the assimilation processes of the titular ethnic groups. The “hard” model leads to opposite results.

The article discusses the main provisions of the conception of collective rights in the model of multiculturalism by William Kymlicka. Despite its pronounced individualistic position, liberalism contains acknowledged theories that prove the importance of collective rights. According to W. Kymlicka, this category of rights does not contradict the ideology of individualism, but, on the contrary, is an expression of political rationality. This is so, because collective rights complement and develop the mechanism for protecting the interests of a particular person.

De Bruijn’s effect describes how distortions are formed in the work of public institutions, if their management relies on a system for quantifying efficiency. The article details the demonstrations of this effect in the higher education system. It is shown how quantitative indicators in evaluating the work of universities can distort strategies of their natural development. The limitations are considered that must be considered when using performance evaluations as a tool for university management. It is concluded that the de Bruijn’s effect creates the conditions for the spread of simulative practices and false interactions in universities.

The paper presents the main results of empirical research which focuses on Russian students’ values. The study was conducted in 2017-2018 in State University of Management and was based on the survey method. The all-Russian sample of 1 600 respondents was collected. The paper deals with the situations that disturb young people, youth's ideas about happiness, education of their future children, life goals and credo of young people, their views on the future. The results of the study reflect the ambiguous attitude of young people to instrumental and terminal values.

The prolonged domination of the neoclassical economic school led to the emphasis on the role of formal, quantitative factors and laws. There was a certain narrowing and abstraction of a set of analyzed indicators, exclusion of cultural, social, religious factors as having no causal potential. However, the socio-economic motivation of a person is extremely complex and ambiguous. A full-fledged analysis of economic processes cannot be done without taking into account non-economic elements - religion and culture.

The social well-being of people of different nationalities is considered as an important component of the ethno-social situation and the qualitative characteristics of the urban inter-ethnic community. Such a community is justified as a significant object of ethnic policy at the municipal level. Based on the generalization of the results of mass sociological polls conducted under the leadership of the author, the paper describes the social well-being of the population of Novosibirsk: the level of general well-being and degree of satisfaction with certain aspects of life, identity, state and dynamics of inter-ethnic relations, as they are seen by different ethnic groups. It records, on the one hand, the existence of favorable social well-being and a benevolent attitude of the majority of residents towards members of other ethnic groups and, on the other hand, certain anxieties related to the social status of residents and the development of inter-ethnic relations in recent years. The author also highlights the tasks of the municipal government that are solved by monitoring the social well-being of the urban inter-ethnic community.

The article explores the processes of socio-economic and socio-cultural development of rural local communities in the form of specific models that demonstrate the true nature of transformation processes in agricultural regions. Using the system analysis, it establishes the features of development, relations (internal and external) and community development functions. The paper also singles out the mechanisms affecting stabilization and sustainable development of the village: industrial, economic, socio-cultural, and institutional. Rural local communities as a system have a structure, that is, they have an internal composition, the relative position of elements (some modifications of the structure are possible with the same composition of elements) and are a kind of static model of the system.

This paper discusses the main criteria for contrasting “rural” and “urban” territories and communities in order to identify which of the classification criteria of the territories are more random, historically transient, and attribute-constant properties that are essentially related to the specifics of economic and social organization of rural areas, therefore retaining their relevance as markers of rural social space.

The main trends of socio-cultural development of ethno-local communities of Tatars living in rural areas of the Novosibirsk region are analyzed. It is shown that the main mechanisms of representation of ethnicity are the reproduction of traditions in the field of culture, the preservation of language and religion. It is concluded that the reproduction of ethnicity becomes conscious and selective. At the same time, there is a change in the content of all markers underlying ethnic identity.

The views of M. Mandelbaum on the historiography of philosophy have undergone a certain evolution. The paper shows the epistemological foundations of Mandelbaum’s historical and philosophical position. From the standpoint of critical realism and its application to social sciences Mandelbaum shows the advantages and disadvantages of the monistic or holistic approaches, partial monisms and pluralism. He considers A. O. Lovejoy's history of ideas to be the most reasonable pluralistic conception, although its use as a historical and philosophical methodology is limited. Intellectual history, which replaced it, should be called a partial monism, however, according to Mandelbaum, it gets a number of advantages if it begins to use a pluralistic methodology. In this version of methodology, the history of philosophy and intellectual history can be identified. The paper also presents some objections of analytic philosophers against this identification.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the pedagogical content of Seneca’s tragedy. The article provides a solution for the problem, which is contained in the controversy - on the one hand, Seneca as other Stoics believes that the passions negatively affect the soul of human being, on the other hand, his tragedies portray plots overrun with passions involving murder, perfidy, betrayal and other crimes. The author suggests that this feature of the plot of dramatic works of Seneca cannot be explained by simple respect of the tradition, according to which the passion is the main driving force of both the ancient Greek and ancient Roman tragedies. The author shows that Seneca intentionally uses certain artistic techniques to achieve the pedagogical effect.

The model of the co-evolution of the social, mental and functional orders is used for a sketchy explanation of the relative stability of the Western European Middle Ages (until the beginning of the 16th century). It is shown that the stability of the medieval order is based on finding the relevant supporting structures for the main objects of concern for rulers and elites: mobilizing military force, maintaining a decent level of their well-being and subordination of the lower exploited strata. Multiple conflicts between the emperor, kings, princes, knights, townspeople (bourgeois) and the peasantry did not undermine, but strengthened the established order, as far as rivals tried to occupy the best places in the same social structure.

The article discusses the main elements of Goethe’s spiritual influence on Hegel’s philosophical constructions and the influence of the Hegelian system on Goethe’s whole worldview. The views of Goethe and Hegel on history, nature, free human spirit and philosophy itself, as the basis of productive human culture, largely coincided genetically from a single temporal and sociocultural flow. The relations between Goethe and Hegel make it possible to distinguish between the notions of “philosopher” and “thinker”: the so-called “professional” philosopher has a tendency towards systematicity, and with a thinker the systematism develops into integrity.

The article identifies the place and role of violence in the texts of French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The main task is to identify the origins of the theme of violence in the philosophy of Sartre. It is noted that the first ideas on violence appeared in earlier works of Sartre, and later they were developed in his political philosophy. It is shown how Sartre interprets the concept of violence, defines its framework, and also highlights its positive and negative evaluations. It may cause some difficulties since Sartre sometimes gave ambiguous interpretations of the same things but ultimately, he recognized that human freedom is always somehow limited. The degree of influence of K. Marx’s ideas on the development of the theme of violence in the philosophy of Sartre is determined. With the topic of violence being close to such topics as freedom and alienation in the political philosophy of Sartre, an analysis of his efforts on their understanding is presented.

Currently, there are a s number of positions on periodization and stages of the evolutionary development of pragmatism. In contemporary philosophy and the history of philosophy there is no stable consensus as to who of the modern philosophers can be unambiguously ranked among pragmatists and neo-pragmatists, and also, from what point can one speak of the onset of the neo-pragmatist stage of development of this tradition. The lack of a unified approach, ultimately, makes it difficult to understand the content of pragmatism itself as a philosophical position due to the impossibility of linking to it any key figures and prominent researchers. The article discusses the main provisions and approaches to the periodization of the stages of the evolution of pragmatism, adopted in the scientific literature, and offers arguments in favor of some adjustments regarding the chronology of neo-pragmatism.

The methodology of history determines what the authors will write in their books. The methodology of history is a subject of social philosophy. However, after analyzing the leading works printed before 1955 on the history of the Urals and Siberia of the 17^th century we came to the conclusion that historians did not mechanically illustrate the conclusions of social philosophy. At the end of the 19^th century V. I. Lenin, relying on Karl Marx, drew a conception of the «new period of Russian history». In the 1930s this scheme has become mandatory for all Russian historians. However, it quickly became clear that not all of its elements could be found in the Siberian history of the 17^th century. The reasons may be related to the lack of sufficient autonomy for the merchants, great tax oppression, opportunities to benefit from social status, and military operations. Retaining full loyalty to the official position, in their concrete studies, researchers of Siberian studies turned out to be great empiricists and preferred to point out historical facts even if the facts contradicted official schemes. In addition, in the 1960s there was a change in the key formulations of the scheme, towards recognizing greater complexity and variability of the historical process.

The multi-ethnic and multi-confessional nature of the Russian Federation sets the task of forming the Strategy of the state national policy. In addition to state structures - the Presidential Council, the Federal Agency for Nationalities - the scientific potential must be included in this process. The joint work of various experts in the field of ethnopolitics provides conceptual grounds for the competent solution of interethnic issues and the integration of Russia's social space.
