Abstract
Being and non-being are the initial categories of philosophy as
the form of social consiousness. Being and non-being should be regarded in two
aspects: as direct presence of really-objective world supposing it itself, and as
reflection of this world in the human consciousness. Complicacy of understanding
of Being is connected with the fact, that Being has no its predicate. It
means that it cannot be determined. It can be distinguished (marked out) only as
the initial category of philosophy. It is possible to do it only through its opposition
- non-being. Against the background of categories Being and non-being all
the space of theoretical understanding of the world displays itself. Non-being
and Being are opposites, where Being can appear in the role of non-being. Realizing
itsels, Being does contain potential side of non-being in its structure, which
is the condition of Being and on the contrary: non-being is the condition of appearance
of Being must contain a side of Being. The side of Being appears here as
potential condition of the appearance of Non-being.

Abstract
In article the intercultural communications realised on vertical
(morals, traditions, rituals, verbal and nonverbal communications) and horizontal
(military operations, trade, tourism, a scientific exchange) directions of historical
development of society are considered. In this work features of modern process of
intercultural communications in a format of global transformation of public system
are analyzed. To each culture the mechanism of selection, selection thanks to
which it as though filters a public life, is inherent in an expert, leaving as cultural
samples, standards, canons only some elements. They become the general and in a
certain measure obligatory for all members of a social generality. The culture is
formed by various methods and the ways embodying mentality, national spirit,
essence of the person and mankind. Cultural phenomena of various ethnoses cooperate,
are enriched, change. Attempts to change culture a violent way, besides
the selection mechanism are indicative, without the account of originality of culture
to introduce in it new progressive elements. Such way destroys integrity of
culture, its internal interrelations. Public reproduction includes reproduction of
the person, all system of public relations, including technological and organizational.
The culture represents process of public reproduction and development of
the person as the subject of versatile social activity and public relations. The type
of culture expressing a place and value of culture in ability to live of a society is
connected with each type of public reproduction. Consideration of interaction of
cultural types on vertical and horizontal axes of social space and time is the new
approach in studying of intercultural communications in the global world.

Abstract
The problems concerning the appearing and development of cult
reality as a special type of social interaction are under study in the article. The
author uses the methodology of social construction offered by P. Bergman and T.
Lukman to investigate the phenomenon of cult socialization. Cult reality appears
in the course of the specific procedure of secondary socialization that is defined by
the author as cult alternation. This type of social construction of reality demands
re-socialization. The cult reality, though seems to be intersubjective reality, must
be objective not only in the individual conciosness (of an adept of a cult), but must
be shared with other people as well. It is because of intersubjectivity that cult as a
feeling of worship is able to consolidate as a special structure of social reality and
to transform everyday life into cult reality. The peculiarity of cult socialization is
that in the process of it there is a replacement of usual meanings of objects in the
persons everyday life into alternative cult ones, while they get new senses as a
result. Real objects in persons cult conciousness are internalized and become cult
objects. The author defines this process as cult alternation
