The paper aims to make а fair supplement to the concept of "metaphysics of relations" (bу М. Esfeld) with а coгrect coгresponding interpretation of the dispositional natшe of characteristics within Е. J. Lowe's ontology. А reasoning from science to philosophy leads М. Esfeld to the conclusion that "quantum entanglement understood in terms of non-separability of states speaks for the metaphysics of relations that denies the presence of intrinsic characteristics of the related systems". The same naturalistic argument provides rationale for the Е. J. Lowe's claim that "the attribution of а characteristics to а given kind could bе metaphysically contingent" for "the laws of nature can bе exactly what they are revealed to us, only because there are no other substantial kinds that could instantiate objects". As а heuristics for the intentional interpretation ofE. J. Lowe's dispositionalism we deal with the requirements of "time-relativeness" and "relevance to causality" from W. Malzkorn's list of criteria of satisfactory representation of dispositions.

The article is devoted to the New (non-mainstгeam) гealism. The authoг tries to solve the ргоЬ!еm of the disunity that exists within this movement. The disconnection is that the works of ). Benoist and М. Gabriel оr L. Ваkег and М. Feпaris are consideгed as not connected bу one progгam idea. The solu­ tion to this disconnection is offered through theoretical reconstгuction of the approaches of the men­ tioned authors, which гeveals the oгigins of the philosophical program, the main theses, the categorical apparatus. The conclusions dгawn show that all the pгojects discussed in the article develop as а critical response to the estaЬlished language of philosophy.

The article describes the author's approach to the construction of general-level artificial cognitive agents based on the so-called "semantic supervised learning", within which, in accordance with the hybrid paradigm of artificial intelligence, both machine learning methods and methods of the symbolic ap­ proach and knowledge-based systems are used ("good old-fashioned artificial intelligence"). А descrip­ tion of current proЬlems with understanding of the general meaning and context of situations in which narrow AI agents are found is presented. The definition of semantic supervised learning is given and its relationship with other machine learning methods is described. In addition, а thought experiment is presented, which shows the essence and meaning of supervised semantic learning.

The paper deals with the concept of epistemic justice and analyses two types of epistemic injustice - testimonial and hermeneutical. The latter is given priority due to the fact that any individual inteгaction involves an individual as а member of а certain social group or community. This requires а study into collective epistemic attitudes, first of all - collective prejudices which Ыосk epistemic resources required for understanding and discussing personal and collective experience. The paper also looks into two related topics - the proЬlem of expertise and the phenomenon of post-truth. S. Fuller's charitaЫe interpretation of post-truth helps to show that this approach can solve the main proЬlem of epistemic justice - that of unequal epistemic status of knowers. However, the price of such levelling-down is too high and would require а complete overhaul of the expertise system.

The socio-cultural orientation of modernization processes changes the emphasis in the social development of mankind, emphasizes the need to determine the place and role of man in the world. The transformation of the socio-cultural space under the pressure of globalization dictates the need to understand the structure and functions that determine the vectors of development of the world community, changing the accents of evolution. Structurally, the socio-cultural space integrates the social and cultural potential of activities, including !оса! communities. It functionally ensures the reproduction of culture and sociality, sets the permissiЬle limits of reform, guaranteeing the preservation of socio-cultural integrity, implementing the functions of socialization, regulation, information, feedback.

The development of digital and information technologies for social communication has transformed the traditional ways of reproducing ethnic solidarity. This produced an unprecedented moЬilization effect of ethnic self-organization. The article solves two proЬlems: firstly, it offers а classification of ethnic networks based on the allocation of goals and moЬilization guidelines, and secondly, it fixes new ways of constructing them using innovative communication tools. The conclusion is made about the strengthening of the autonomy of ethnic structures of self-organization in the context of the transformation of the global information environment.

The pгinciples of functioning of basic metaphors at various peгiod of the development of sociology аге investigated. SocioЬiological and flow-netwoгk metaphoгs аге compaгed. lt is shown that both Ыocks of basic sociological metaphoгs аге characterized bу а comЬination of internal diffeгentiation and external unity. The authoг analyzes the paгallels between changes in the understanding of human natшe and society, гeflected in the basic metaphoгs. It is concluded that despite the change of paradigms of the description of society expгessed in the change of metaphors, the rules of sociological descгiption гemain the same. And it is expгessed in the same principles of functioning of vaгious master-metaphors.

The article highlights the importance of the ethno-social focus of the research in the analysis of the socio-cultural space of the city. The use of the concept of "creolization" allows us to understand the socioculture of the city as formed on the basis of the ethnic composition of the city in а certain period of time, including а differentiated plurality of ethnocultures, not homogeneous in its structure, but implying an eclectic mixing of cultures into а socio-cultural integrity. Using the example of NovosiЬirsk, the article analyzes the influence of the ethno-confessional composition on the socio-cultural portrait of the city. Using the example of visually identifiaЬle "ethnically marked" objects of urban space (museums, temples) and events (holidays, festivals), the author comes to the conclusion that а complete meaningful understanding of the sociocultural space of modern NovosiЬirsk is impossiЬle without taking into account its ethno-social component.

An attempt is made to consider in more detail the pantheistic views of the German philosopher Wilhelm Joseph Schelling on God and the world. His teaching is based on the idea ofthe all-unity ofbeing. God and the Universe are identified in his system, thereby affirming his highest reality. Proclaiming the identity of God and the world, Schelling does not mean the real world of concrete things and phenomena, but its absolute fundamental principle. But such identification was the relegation of God to the level of finite existence. It was necessary to look for new ways to solve the proЬlem.

The aгticle is devoted to understanding the practices of human self-development in the philosophical and educational conceptions of antiquity. The close connection of self-development and philosophy is aгgued for. А special place is given to the study of the phenomenon of self-knowledge as а necessary foundation for the development and formation of а life stгategy. Self-development as а phenomenon of human existence was not considered as а special object, therefore it has theoretical significance in the philosophy of education.

Wе recall the distinction between appearance and reality, that there are different kinds of reality which we should not confuse, and make а distinction between the world and reality. Against internalism, we argue that the inside is outside. We also argue that artificial intelligence cannot surpass human intelli­ gence. We refer to some contemporary philosophers, the "new realists", often criticizing them for not being true realists, and call for а contextual realism.
