Full textAbstract:
Having attempted to understand the concept of revolution, which is one of the most controversial concepts in science and philosophy, the author explores the meaning of the concept in different theoretical and practical areas. In order to reassert his thesis (it is unjustified to restrict the concept of revolution to political and social area), the author reminds us about the frequent discussions about industrial, technological, scientific, cultural, sexual and spiritual revolutions. After a detailed reflection on different meanings of the concept of revolution in these areas, the author concludes not only that the philosophical concept of revolution theoretically excels the sociological concept of revolution, but also that the spiritual concept of revolution is superior to the philosophical concept of revolution. Warning us about the moral and spiritual crisis of today?s world, about the ever-increasing evil, the author reaffirms the significance of the spiritual revolution. He believes that the flame of many small, individual, spiritual revolutions could save the world from the threatening disaster.

Full textAbstract:
The present article falls within a number of papers about research on specification of philosophical novels. The aim of this article is to analyze author’s function as a narrative category in classical philosophical novels (Franz Kafka "The Trial" (1925) ”The Castle”(1926), Jean-Paul Sartre "Nausea" (1938), Hermann Hesse "The Glass Bead Game" (1943), Albert Camus ”The Plague” (1947)) and a novel of Latvian prose writer Ilze Šķipsna „Neapsolītās zemes” [Un-Promised Lands](1970)). The analysis is based on theoretical ideas of structural narratologists Gerard Genette, William Labov, Seymuor Chatman, Wolf Schmid, as well as philosophers Edmund Husserl, Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Ricouer and semioticians Yuri Lotman (Юрий Лотман) and Umberto Eco.The real author can ”enter” the text only indirectly—as an image, with the help of the storyteller, and the way how this ”entry” happens is determined by the narration of the real author or narrative (communication) skills of the author. Thus, the author and implied author are functionally different concepts: author as a real person develops the concept idea, his intention is to define the concept under his original vision; narrator, in its turn, communicates with the reader, representing the concept, and his aim is to select appropriate means of communication with regard to reader’s perceptual abilities.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the author proposed a terminologisation of the concept “non-fiction book” in the framework of Ukrainian theory of publishing. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the emergence in Ukrainian publishing space of the concept “non-fiction book”, which is widely used by publishers, authors, booksellers, literary managers and readers, while the term “non-fiction book” is not clearly defined in Ukrainian academic sphere and is absent in Ukrainian dictionaries. The main objectives of the study are: to summarize results of interdisciplinary discussions over the concept “non-fiction” in Ukrainian and foreign scientific discourses; to clarify the features and peculiarities of different professional approaches; and to define the semantic framework for interpretation of the concept “non-fiction book” in Ukrainian publishing. In the study, the author applied the following research methods: bibliographical method (to study the literature sources); conceptual analysis (to work out the basic terms and concepts); analysis and synthesis (to study the nature of the usage of terms and to identify their features); synthesis (to shape the own definition of the concept “non-fiction”). Having considered the various foreign definitions of the term “non-fiction”, the author came to the conclusions that it is predominantly used in two major senses – a broad and a narrow. In a broader sense, “non-fiction” is a literature that does not contain an artistic fiction. In this sense the term is widely used by the booksellers, authors and readers. In a narrow sense, ‘non-fiction” is a literature that is based on real events, documents, facts and biographies, interpreted by the author through artistic means without distorting the actual events of the story. The concept “non-fiction book” refers to the publications, the content of which is based not only on documents and facts, but also includes the author’s interpretation. The proposed terminologisation of the concept “non-fiction book” in the framework of Ukrainian theory of publishing can be used in further academic research in the relevant fields of study.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the conflict between engineers as the professional community and their employer (state or capital owner), which starts its history from the beginning of the 20th century. The author deals with the concepts of engineering philosophy and attempts to define the modern concept of “engineer” with a purpose to understand the new role of the engineer in modern society. The article demonstrates the problem to define the concept of engineering and its connection with the concept of power, which inevitably leads engineers to competing relations with their employers. The article also examines the modern context of engineering, in its connection with science and capital, explores the tendency to merge the concepts of capitalist, employer and engineer. In addition, the author shows the contradictions of relations between engineers and society, expressed in the decisions of scientific policy, in particular, in the concept of “responsible innovations”. Strengthening the role of the professional community of engineers is shown in the context of a comparison of the conflict between engineers and capital owners and bureaucracy in the early 20th century (Author uses works of T. Veblen and E. Layton), and in the beginning of the 21st century (works of modern Western and domestic authors). The article touched upon the topic of influence on the society of modern blockchain technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The legal term of “constitutionalization” is relevant and in demand at the present stage of the constitutional development of the Russian state, as evidenced by the increasing frequency of its use in scientific works. The modern use of the term of “constitutionalization” has many meanings that are not always specified by the authors. In this connection, the definition of the essence and content of this concept has theoretical and practical significance. Theoretical analysis. The author made an attempt to theoretically comprehend the concept of “constitutionalization”, including the lexemes of “constitutionalization of the legal order” and “constitutionalization of the legal system”, based on the analysis of works by foreign and domestic authors, formalized some common essential and substantive attributive features of the phenomenon of “constitutionalization”. Empirical analysis. It is noted that in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the current Russian legislation, the judicial practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the term of “constitutionalization” has not found its reflection. As for the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, in some of its decisions this concept is mentioned in connection with the substantiation of the role of the Strasbourg and Luxembourg courts, the influence of their legal positions on the constitutionalization of the European legal order. Results. The author defines constitutionalization as a complex construct, with the acquisition of constitutional meaning by all phenomena and processes of legal reality occurring in society and the state being its attributive-relational, essential, target feature. Based on the etymological, semantic, systemic and structural analysis of this phenomenon, the author presented it as a multi-level, multi-aspect system, identified qualifying features and design features, levels, phases, stages.

Máslo, Lukáš Augustin. "Equality in Exchange: A Rehabilitation of The Classical Concept." International Journal of Social Sciences 11, no. 1 (2022): 13–28. http://dx.doi.org/10.52950/ss.2022.11.1.002.
Full textAbstract:
The author makes an effort to rehabilitate the classical concept of the equality in exchange which lies in the foundations of the theory of just price and the scholastic criticism of usury. The author supplies a proof that the non-equivalent contract of “exchange” is 1) a contradiction in terms because it represents a combination of a basic contract and a super-contract which contradict each other; and 2) an act of commutative injustice because the contractor negates implicitly within the super-contract what he declares explicitly in the basic contract. The following objections are being settled dialectically: objection of an isolated exchange, objection of voluntariness, objection of Paretovian efficiency, objection of rating, objection of greater evil. The author presents a proof that the just price in an isolated exchange is equal to the reservation price of the seller. The author contends that requiring a transfer from anyone becomes commutative injustice if this requirement is accompanied by 1) external direct pressure or 2) external indirect pressure or 3) deception. The external indirect pressure is defined by the author as a situation when a subject makes a transfer a condition for his consent to a basic contract within the super-contract. The contractor consents to the non-equality in “exchange” only if he wants to give a gift anyway. Since the injustice originates in the agent and benevolence of the sufferer does not cancel the injustice, the non-equivalent contract of “exchange” is an act of commutative injustice even if the sufferer wants to give a gift out of his benevolence. The author claims that the state can adopt four different positions in the question of non-equivalent contracts of “exchange”: 1) to prosecute the perpetrator, 2) to declare the unenforceability, 3) to tolerate the private enforcement, 4) to enforce. Since the enforcement and toleration go against the purpose of the state, the author puts forward the following legal solution: the state declares the non-equivalent contracts of “exchange” unenforceable, nevertheless, it does not automatically prosecute the subjects which commit injustice for making such contracts but, on the other hand, it protects the subjects which suffer injustice if they ask for it.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the author tries to find the best strategy of defining scientific and semiscientific concepts in philosophy. In the first part of the article, the main types of definitions are analyzed. The author dived into the details of each of them and found explicative and ameliorative definitions to be best suited for scientific and semiscientific concepts. The ameliorative method, however, appears to be slightly more preferable because it provides us with more theoretical tools for philosophical analysis. The second part of the article demonstrates the advantages of the ameliorative method using the «innateness» concept as an example. The author has chosen «innateness» because it has plenty of various definitions in science and philosophy today. If such a complex case can be solved with the ameliorative method, then we may conclude that this method is productive. The author found the ameliorative analysis of «innateness» to be a rather fruitful method of work with the mentioned concept. Therefore, the ameliorative approach to formulating definitions is concluded to be the most appropriate for philosophers and scholars when working with scientific and semiscientific concepts.

Full textAbstract:
The author discusses two concepts of responsiveness in his paper: the concept of active society, developed by Amitai Etzioni, and the concept of responsive public administration by Mateusz Stêpieñ. The author finds both concepts potentially inspiring in the context of theoretical proposals to overcome some dysfunctions of representative democracy. The author of the paper also proposes to include the concepts of responsiveness in the framework of the so-called transformation trend of theories of democracy, which perceives politics as the transformation of individual preferences through rational discussion. The author observes a certain convergence between the concepts of responsiveness and the main assumptions of deliberative democracy (falling into the above transformation paradigm). Both concepts attempt at finding a ‘golden mean’ between liberal and republican visions of state community, while significantly ‘supplementing’ liberal democracy concepts, especially those where politics is reduced to a process of an auction of interests. Etzioni’s concept is more philosophically oriented and can serve as a theoretical foundation for more general considerations on the functioning of a democratic system and the relations between authorities and citizens. A more practically oriented concept of responsive administration can inspire the analyses of a desired model of self-government administration, whose role in the context of relations with the citizens of local communities is sometimes equal to that of local authorities.

Full textAbstract:
The appropriation of concepts long established as salient contributions to gender theory and research recently has come under scholarly scrutiny. In this article, the author contributes to this dissection of crucial gender concepts by assessing the recent academic appropriation of the reformulated concept of “hegemonic masculinity” and how this appropriation engenders gendered knowledge. The author first briefly revisits the concept of hegemonic masculinity as reformulated by Connell and Messerschmidt. Following this, the author examines selected studies to illustrate how hegemonic masculinity has been appropriated differently, how this dissimilarity is significant for the production of gendered knowledge, and how several new directions in the appropriations extend gendered knowledge on hegemonic masculinity. Finally, the author discusses the relevance of all his conclusions to the wider debates over the concept of hegemonic masculinity and posits how these conclusions arguably impact future feminist/gender research and theory construction.

Full textAbstract:
I am enormously grateful to the readers of this journal for their kind attention to this work over the past 30 years. Conceptual analysis, the subject of my article, is primarily about clarifying meanings of those key concepts that are central to our collective work. Given the number of nebulous concepts in environmental education, and in education in general, this work has never ceased to be important — though, sadly, it is often neglected. Take, for example, a concept currently in vogue, social learning. Two ways of approaching this sometimes fuzzy concept would be, first, for authors to provide a clear articulation of the term, in their own view. What exactly does the idea of social learning involve for an author, and what are the implications for its use in the particular context in which it is used? This is a lot like clarifying one's own assumption about a concept for the benefit of the author and reader alike, and something we should be able to expect from all authors. Second, researchers can analyse the scope of a concept's usage within a body of literature, such as Rodela (2012) has done with social learning. This kind of analysis can provide a kind of heuristic for other researchers to navigate the extant usage of a key concept, and to point in future directions.

This study consists of an elaboration on authorship in cinema by employing the conceptions of the ‘author’ and the ‘reader’. Within the scope of this elaboration, for a better understanding of the ‘cinematic-author’, first, the literary origin of the concept of the ‘author’ will be examined. Then, ‘Who is an author in cinema?’ will be questioned both through the on-going debates about the conception and what the concept itself means to me. Finally, the focus of the study will shift to the concept of the ‘reader’ and its interdependent relationship with the concept of the ‘author’; and it will be stated that, unlike post-structuralist ideas, it is not necessary to kill the ‘author’ for the birth of the ‘reader’.

The article deals with the topic of assessing the quantitative increase in the array of legal norms. Topicality of the research topic is due to the negative consequences of legislative inflation, expressed in the creation of new legal norms and the novelisation of the current legislation. The author focuses on the ratio of the number of legal norms and the volume of social relations. The article defines concept of the regulatory density. The author pays particular attention to the scale of legal regulation density. The author identifies three degrees of legal regulation density: low, medium, and high density of legal regulation. As a basis for the differentiation of the density of legal regulation, the author highlights the gaps in the legislation. The goal of a legal density scale is to manage regulatory risks associated with the high costs of legality and administrative barriers to doing business.

The paper discusses possibilities and ways of studying concepts in teaching foreign languages to students-interpreters. The author notes that modern didactic research has interdisciplinary nature, analyzes the theory of the concept from the point of view of linguistics, cultural studies and psycholinguistics. The author also notes the fact of creation of linguo-conceptodidactics as a new scientific direction. The paper presents a linguodidactic understanding of the concept, analyzes its structure and semantic content. The author describes in detail the process of foreign language concepts acquisition and presents it as a sequence of several stages. The acquisition of foreign language concepts is associated with the development of concept competence. The paper notes that the acquisition of foreign language concepts should go in parallel with the acquisition of foreign language lexis. In addition, it is necessary to use authentic materials in teaching foreign languages that allows forming a conceptual picture of the world of native speakers. Acquisition of foreign language concepts is especially important for students-interpreters who study several foreign languages and are faced with the problem of translating foreign concepts and phenomena of foreign language reality. The paper presents how conceptuality can be realized in teaching foreign languages. The author gives a practical example of studying the English concept Travel, offers examples of exercises and tasks for mastering it, as well as mnemonic techniques for memorizing lexemes that represent the concept. In the paper is stressed, that the concepts should be included in the content of foreign language teaching to students-interpreters. This contributes to the development of correct ideas about foreign language reality, understanding the facts of the native and foreign language culture, i.e. cultural reflection development.

 The article considers the justification of its own theoretical approaches to accounting and balance policy on the basis of legal, scientific, and theoretical positions of their organization and proposes author definitions of the terms "accounting policy" and "balance policy".The authors prove that the concept of "accounting" and "balance" policy coincides in part, at least in the word "politics". Although the content of these concepts covers common elements, we argue that each of these concepts also includes components that are not elements of another concept. It is stressed that these concepts can not be identified in any way.

Full textAbstract:
Regularly changed destructive periods in organizational development mean that the lifecycle exists. A nature of its formation hides a number of important conceptual regularities. One aspect of these trends is relationship between distribution of uncertainty and risks in lifecycle models, underlying motives of their formation and determining participation in development of organizational immunity. A closer definition of these issues is an objective of this research. The paper reviews the history of the lifecycle concept, gives its analysis and possible applications in management studies. In the analytical review of literature, there is an attempt of theoretical systematization for some provisions from the concept on consistency and continuity of stages turnover, on conditions of their identification and a nonlinear path. For discussions of the scientific community, the author presents hypotheses of the available effect of compression (density) in development stages, as well as heterogenic risk concentration. There is an assumption that economic systems have different orders for both the general and short lifecycles. Based on generalized theoretical and methodological provisions of stages in the lifecycle phases, the author attempts to combine functional and evolutionary models. The author also details distinctive features in the process of control over uncertainty and risks in the sequence of development stages.

Full textAbstract:
The article is aimed at reviewing and comparing the key aspects of information policy, and describing it as a communication concept. The author extrapolates Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy`s model on the object field of information policy. The topicality of the research is determined by the necessity to study the emergence of a new informational society, mediatization of politics, the development of information policy and its institutionalization, information management techniques in the context of artificial intelligence development, as well as by the interdisciplinary character of the phenomenon. The author defines the terms information, social information and information policy, compares and analyses various approaches to interpreting them, shows differences in understanding purposes, functions and components of information policy, and gives the examples of a lateral and a unilateral approaches to defining information policy. The author also determines three concepts of information policy, namely, press relations service, marketing concept, and Rosenstock-Huessy`s dialogic concept. In this context, the author specifies four correction discourses relevant in information policy practices (Unity, Faith, Power, and Respect), and infers that Rosenstock-Huessy`s concept provides for forming strategic framework for implementing information policy, and journalism in this context is interpreted as a discourse technique of social construction. The key inference suggests that an information policy is aimed at constructing and structuring information landscape, production of meaning and images, and correcting the mass consciousness. Communication campaigns are vied as actions within an information policy.

Full textAbstract:
The author has observed that books and publications about tourism usually need to begin by defining the concept, and that each definition given is slightly different from the next. From this observation, the author assumes that although tourism is a fuzzy concept a definition is nevertheless necessary. The WTO definition actually seems the ‘least appropriate’, but can - even must - be adapted according to research circumstances. Recognizing the fuzzy nature of tourism seems firstly to correspond to a general trend in academic research, secondly to satisfy the need for professionals and scholars to have only a single common definition, thirdly to allow the inclusion of new practices and products which mix business and pleasure, and fourthly to allow consideration of the human dimension of tourism, which in turn implies a more humanistic approach.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the concept of dramatography as being created by “writing drama”. The author treats drama as a fluid concept, historically variable, non-binary compared to theatre, establishing performative relations interwoven with other arts. Dramatography is a response to limitations resulting from the use of the concepts of adaptation, interpretation and intersemiotic translation in the former binary system in drama and theatre. Referring to Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s concept of “producing presence”, the author shows the role of manifesting oneself as a counterweight to meaning in the process through which dramatography emerges.

The Husserlian imaginary variations and the testimonies of the survivors of the extermination camps have served to highlight and define such concepts, as well as an approach to memory as a concept that could mark a point of contact between both.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores the relevancy of the concept of intrinsic evil/intrinsically evil acts in contemporary Catholic theological ethics as a particular way of giving an account of (moral) evil. The argument proceeds in two steps. In the first step the author turns to Francisco Suárez as one of the first theologians who tried to deal with the concept of intrinsic evil in an extensive and systematic way. The point of this historical exploration is to determine the meanings of this concept as it started to appear more frequently in the ethical discourse. In the next step the author presents two contemporary positions within Catholic theological ethics, those of Joseph Selling and Dana Dillon. Although both authors are proponents of virtue ethics, they disagree fundamentally on the role of the concept of intrinsic evil within this approach. While Joseph Selling argues in favour of eliminating this concept from theological ethics, Dana Dillon posits that theological ethics cannot function without it. In the rest of the article, the author explores this disagreement through various ways in which the concept can be used, while taking into account the aforementioned meanings of the concept. In the end, the author sides with Joseph Selling, since the concept of intrinsic evil does not seem to be able to fulfil the role it was assigned within Catholic theological ethics.

Full textAbstract:
The author of the article attempts to comprehend various aspects of the concept - text - interpretation triad, proposed as an analytical model to study the problems of performing arts in piano music of the second half of the 20th - 21st centuries. The concept, which is the quintessence of the composer's ideas developed in interpretation, is assigned the role of the initial stage of the composer's intention. The author conducts a comparative analysis of the term "concept" in Russian and Western European musicology, notes that modern humanitarian science allows one to determine approaches to the problems of interpretation from the standpoint of the methodology predetermined by the meaning of a concept. The study of the triad allows combining various methods of revealing musical meanings to comprehend the content of the interpreted object and present this phenomenon as a universal system. The author considers the concept of interpretation from the standpoint of conceptual metaphors and research in musical semiology. In the article, the broad interpretation of a musical text goes beyond the musical text itself into the field of signs, metaphors and metonymy. In this regard, the author draws a conclusion about the importance of the meaning of metonymy for a musical text and compares the approaches to the text in serialism and post-serialism in order to determine the characteristic features. In the study of the functions of performers and composers in the second half of the 20th - early 21st century and the projection of changes in the listener's perception in this process, it is emphasised that the authors of compositions were beginning to consider reception as an integral part of the work, taking this aspect into account in their creative strategies. Analysing the peculiarities of the psychology of “delayed perception” based on making musical connections and a composition form in a retrospective context, the author defines it as a “conceptual form” resulting from comprehending certain sound concepts. The article substantiates the need for a special meta-approach, characterised by the search for relationships in a situation of fundamental lack of balance in connection with introducing new aesthetic concepts into the process of interpretation and perception through composing practice. The phenomenon of the triad proposed by the author contributes to the introduction of the problems of contemporary performing arts into the general system of humanitarian thinking. It allows it to be presented as a scientific problem.

This article analyzes the concept of state of the military historian Martin van Creveld. This analysis allowed the author to view prerequisites and establishment of the state and denote the concept of state. In the latter he differentiates the concepts of state and social practices that ensure their implementation, organization of management and accepted in culture explanations on the need for such organization, which in the author’s opinion comprises the meaning and content of power. Moreover, the article introduces the term of sociocultural pre-basis of the state that allows denoting the substantiation of the trajectory of development of the state and selection of a particular political form. Research methodology includes situational and comparative analysis, articulation of the problems, structuring of notions, reconstruction of historical evolution of the state, analysis and comprehension of the writings of M. Creveld. The author was able to analyze the proposed by Creveld concept of the state, as well as suggest an original version of establishment and development of the state, outline the characteristics of the concept of state (differentiation of stages of its establishment, concepts of states and social practices that ensure their realization, etc.), as well as raise a number of questions related to the discussed topic.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the process of a national innovation system (NIS) concept developing as a scientific category, which originates from the late 1980s, when the model of linear mass production was predominant. The paper notes that the linear model of production has ceased to be relevant as the economies of countries grow and develop, and innovation and qualitatively new products and R & D come first among the key factors for the success of economic development. Particular attention is paid to the features of the study of the national innovation system at the level of theoretical understanding by various scientific circles, organizations and institutions. The author also notes the process of forming a systems approach in the field of innovation. The author identifies the concepts of concepts of national innovation systems formed by such scientists as K. Freeman, R. Nelson, B. Lundvall, etc. The author has identified key issues in the history of the study of NIS, on the basis of which it is possible to identify the main contradictions in the process of studying various concepts of NIS by various scientists, and explain the missing fragments for a more accurate definition of the concept of NIS and a better understanding of how it works today. The author relates to such problems, as the ambiguity of the origin of the concept of NIS, the presence of NIS in all countries, excessive theorization and ambiguity of the interpretation of NIS in the scientific literature.

Full textAbstract:
The author of the article analyzes the problem of logical and philosophical boundaries of the concept of «education». This topic is urgent and requires a philosophical explication. It has a connection with the problem of the correlation of concepts: «education», «teaching» («learning»), «upbringing». The author systematizes the main variants of this relationship. As a result, the author suggests three main schemes. The first scheme has one component. Consequently, the concepts of «education», «teaching», «upbringing» are identical. This scheme has several options. The first option has such characteristics: education and teaching are identical, knowledge and mental development take precedence, the upbringing plays a minor role. The main characteristics of the second option: upbringing is a pedagogical concept that forms a system. Upbringing has a wide (social) significance. The first scheme (for example) is «upbringing teaching», modern higher learning, upbringing of a «new» person in the USSR. The second scheme contains two components. The concepts of «education», «training», «upbringing» are not identical. Training and upbringing are interrelated, but they are not identical. The concept of teaching has a connection with modeling, schematization and the creation of learning situations. Learning has a connection with intellectual development and a semiotic basis. The concept of upbringing has a connection with the immediate experience of the situation. Upbringing has a connection with moral qualities and an axiological basis. Teaching solves the problem of preparing children for life. Upbringing solves the problem of including children in life. Consequently, education has two subsystems: teaching (learning) and upbringing. The first and second schemes are common. The third scheme is new. It consists of three components. The concept of education includes three concepts: «teaching», «upbringing» and «development». This scheme may be of interest to researchers, but it needs to be refined (logical and terminological aspects).

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to stimulate thinking about the relative importance of leaders and leadership or teamworking and teamsmanship in promoting progressive improvements in health care provision. The author argues that much more emphasis should be placed on the purpose and functioning of health care teams than on developing traditional heroic leaders. The attributes that the author has come to see as important in leaders within healthcare teams have been described. Some of these are far from glamorous and include good organisation, hard work and self-discipline. Design/methodology/approach – Over the past five years, the author has read widely on leadership, as well as on “lean” philosophies of working. During that time the author has tried to introduce changes to improve the working practices of their inpatient care team. The essay was written on the basis of reflection and discussion. This is a free-form article, in the old style of essay writing. This format is ideal for stimulating high-level thinking in readers’ minds. Findings – There should be far more emphasis on training in and development of teams, team-working and teamsmanship than on individual leaders and leadership skills in health care. Originality/value – The author hopes this essay is original, stimulating thinking, expressed in a readable format, and that it will prove valuable to those responsible for making improvements in health care provision at both the macro-and microlevels.

Full textAbstract:
This article consists of three sections. The author firstly considers the problem of ambiguity of the term “identity”, as well as its relationship with related concepts. Following from this, the main approaches to the genesis and nature of constitutional identity, including alternative interpretations are considered. The question of the nature of constitutional identity, according to the author, is of fundamental importance for the theory. The author tries to consider both traditional (positivist) and alternative points of view on this issue. In the third paragraph, the author tries to demonstrate the influence of several factors determined by national culture (constructing constitutional identity) on the formation of constitutional identity. Based on the generalization of the theoretical and legal works of R.Hirschl, G.J.Jacobsohn, M.Rosenfeld, and M.Tushnet, the author attempts to identify such independent factors as religion, politics, history, and constitutional disharmony. According to the author, the unique combination of these factors, inherent in each culture of “local” circumstances, determines the uniqueness of any national constitutional identity. The author believes that the Russian science of constitutional and international law is excessively focused on positivist interpretations of constitutional identity. Alternative approaches to the conceptualization of constitutional identity remain absent in much of the work of other researchers.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper the concept of the boundary of civilizations is discussed on the example of Polish‐Belarusian and Polish‐Ukrainian borderlands. The author starts from the assumption, shared by many historians and sociologists, that civilizations are real cultural entities based on certain long‐lasting patterns of symbolical order. Those patterns are closely related to respective religions like Catholicism and Orthodoxy, but they act even though people's religiosity is weak. The differences between Western Christian and Eastern Christian patterns remain important in a secularized world as well. The author analyses how these civilization differences influence both cross national and political identities in countries, situated on the boundary of civilizations. He shows, in particular, how symbolic patterns shape the identity of Catholic minority in modern Belarus and that of Orthodox minority in today's Poland.

In this article, the author considers the issues of formation and development of the human potential conception. The author carried out analytical work on the study of the prerequisites for the origin of this concept, as well as considered the evolution of approaches to the definition of human capital and human potential. A fundamental factor in the formation of human capital is the definition of areas of investment in the individuals’ development. To study this issue, the author conducted an interim analysis of the investment areas in the formation and development of human capital defined by foreign and domestic researchers and presented a graphical display of the expansion areas, depending on the stages of the theory of human capital development. Based on the review and comparison of the concepts of human potential and human capital, the author reveals the content of the human potential concept in a broad sense and a narrow sense, clarified the economic meaning of the human potential concept.

Taking into account the framework of denotational mathematics as seen by Yingxu Wang, in this paper the author wishes to implement a possible further pragmatic (context-depend) dimension into the algebraic structure of concept algebra. One of the main problems of software science is that regarding context-depend question of a programming language. Indeed, attention has been paid above all to syntactic and semantic dimensions of a programming language, neglecting the pragmatic one concerning context. The author has tried to face this question providing a first denotational mathematics structure taking into account a possible pragmatic dimension.

Full textAbstract:
Based on approaches existing in domestic science to the interpretation of the term “a people”, the author concludes that in constitutional law the term under consideration is used in at least two different meanings: 1.as a source of power; and 2. as a subject of constitutional rights. The author highlights the irreducibility of this duality and substantiates the thesis that the concept of the people as a source of power is one of the limiting concepts of constitutional law and, therefore, cannot be defined within its framework. Awareness of this problem leads some Russian lawyers to denying the principle of popular sovereignty, and other scholars try to equate the concept of “a people as a source of power” with the concept of electoral corps. Arguing both these approaches, the author highlights that according to Gödel’s theorem on incompleteness, constitutional law as a system of formally defined norms cannot be complete and uncontroversial at the same time. Attempts to construct a “pure” constitutional-legal theory free of any extra-legal elements where definitions of all concepts the theory operates would be derived from the theory itself lead to intractable contradictions. If the system of constitutional law is built as non-contradictory, it is inevitably incomplete, in particular it uses concepts that cannot be defined within its framework. The author investigates such concepts and categories belonging to a higher level of abstraction as meta-categories, or marginal concepts, of the science of constitutional law. The category “the people as a source of power” is one of them. Concerning the dilemma of completeness and consistency of constitutional law as a system of formally defined norms, the author prioritizes consistency.
