Aim. Based on philosophical methodology, consider in detail the content of some general scientific (philosophical) categories “form”, “phenomenon”, “property”, “function”, “character” (that is, categories that reflect the essence of the ways in which the internal signs of phenomena in the environment are manifested), as well as “environment”, “condition”, “cause”, “ground”, “consequence”, “necessity”, “randomness”, “nature of the phenomenon”, “possibility” (categories reflecting the impact of the environment on the phenomenon under study) and define them in modern edition.

Methodology. The work was carried out based on a systematic approach using classification methods and comparative analysis.

Results. Research within the framework of the system of philosophical categories because of cognitive activity, which is a systematization of information about a phenomenon and the naming of this phenomenon, is still relevant today. The categories reflect the characteristics of phenomena of a certain class, record the essential properties of the phenomena and the connections between them. In addition, based on the content of general scientific categories, methods of cognition are formed. They also have a general scientific character and participate in all scientific research without exception. This fact gives special importance to understanding the essence of general scientific (philosophical) categories, which, working to solve problems of scientific research, are transformed into methods of scientific research. This circumstance determines the need for a detailed presentation of the content of general scientific (philosophical) categories in their modern edition.

Research implications. The results of the study can be used to improve the methodological competencies of both teachers of philosophical disciplines and students.

Aim. To explicate the essence of establishing meaning in a hermeneutic procedure.

Methodology. Correlative techniques for correlating figurative and expressive contexts with relevant information fields were applied in the research.

Results. It is shown that the meaningful filling of abstractions is carried out by the projection of the information-figurative dimension of thought on the subject-matter realities using specific techniques: attribution; predication; essentialization; reification; description; characterization; interpretation; modeling; ontologization; operationalization; objectification; verification; ostensitization, etc.

Research implications. A critical and analytical study of innovations produced by a productive expanding synthesis leads to the need to consider their internal architecture (constitution, configuration, composition, etc.) as a marker of cognitive viability.

Aim. To identify the influence of the social and philosophical ideas of the Slavophiles in modern Russia in understanding the essence of the SMO (Special Military Operation), its goals and significance. To substantiate the thesis that the most popular idea is the conviction that that it is necessary to fully restore the state sovereignty on the basis of national traditions as opposed to the uncontrolled borrowing of foreign forms.

Methodology. The principles of social and philosophical thought of the Slavophiles of the classical period of the 19th century and those of the modern neo-Slavophile movement are compared.

Results. The author substantiates the thesis that the beginning of the SMO is assessed by neo-Slavophiles as Russia’s entry into a new stage of its history - revival and sovereign development, an actual break with Western civilization, which launched a war with Russia on behalf of NATO and the United States. Its victorious outcome for Russia means not only the restoration of historical lands and the reunification of the people, but also an access to a non-capitalist path of development. Thus, the SMO acquires a total character: a liberation, civilizational and sacred, religious struggle. For neo-Slavophiles, the policy of the “new Westerners” for universal digitalization is seen as a threat to national security and a “second front” in the struggle for sovereignty.

Research implications. There is need to sovereignize and mobilize the spheres of social sciences and education to understand the profound change taking place in the world and make the right decisions based on the principles of the Russian philosophical tradition.

Aim. To assess the relevance and scientific and practical significance of the concept of the Motherland and patriotism of E. N. Trubetskoy in the modern conditions, to present recommendations on the practice of its application.

Methodology. The key research methods were the logical method, content analysis and the comparative historical method. A study of E. N. Trubetskoy’s works was carried out, the philosopher’s argumentation on the main aspects of the concept of the Motherland and patriotism were revealed, taking into account the corresponding socio-cultural and political situation of the beginning of the 20^th century. Addressing the research on the history of philosophy and analyzing the events of the past and present allowed us to assess the validity of the thinker’s judgments, to conclude about the level of confirmation of his ideas by practice.

Results. It is proved that the ideas of E. N. Trubetskoy expressed in relation to the Motherland and patriotism are relevant at the present time. His understanding of the Motherland makes it possible to give its objective definition, avoid identification of the Motherland and the state, correctly determine its ontological and axiological essence. The prospects of introducing into philosophical thought the ideas that patriotism manifests itself in ensuring the original movement of its people to the highest spiritual ideal with the identification and correction of errors and shortcomings of various, including epistemological, content, are substantiated. It is noted that for Russia, patriotism is always associated with helping other nations.

Research implications. The article revealed the potential of E. N. Trubetskoy’s legacy as the basis for the development of national philosophy, construction of a categorical apparatus, formulation of recommendations for patriotic education and construction of interaction between countries and nations.

Aim. To identify the ontological characteristics inherent to a specific form of truth referred to as inverted truth by the authors, through a critical analysis of its various modifications in the context of true and false statements.

Methodology. The research utilizes an ontological approach as its methodological foundation, within which the inverted truth functions as a mode of existence and represents a multifaceted problem. The study employs principles of dialectical methodology, including objectivity and the comprehensive consideration of the subject under study.

Results. Significant distinctions between the inverted truth and ambivalent truth (antinomy) have been revealed. These distinctions lie in the fact that in case of the inverted truth there is a disjunctive connection between the non-inverted and inverted truth, whereas in ambivalent truth (antinomy) both sides are considered equal. Additionally, unlike dualistic truth where there is no conflict between divine revelations and scientific truths, the inverted truth contradicts commonly accepted truths. It has been established that the inverted truth differs from the negative truth in allowing the existence of non-inverted truth beyond the sphere where it is formally non-applicable, while the negative truth is oriented towards negating the existence of an object. The ontological expansion of the consideration scope is noted: to the real world with its truth relations “A is B”, the inverted truth adds an additional world “A is not B”, allowing us to consider the option “A is B and not B” as a form of indifferent judgment. The existence of the inverted truth is demonstrated through a number of examples, including utopias and dystopias, tricksters, practical jokes in the genre of fiction, virtual worlds, fake news, and others.

Research implications. The study conceptualizes the ontological content of the inverted truth, contributing to the formation and development of the general methodological basis of its scientific reflection. The results of the work can serve as a basis for further research on creating a philosophical-scientific worldview, an element of which is the inverted truth.

Aim. To analyze the globalization of Eastern religious consciousness.

Methodology. The author uses the personally-developed system-level approach, which is a result of the synthesis of evolutionary-energy and system approaches. As a result, the levels that ensure the physical state of the nation (national, ethnic, cultural), structural and energy levels (emotional-behavioral, cognitive-educational), and higher, conceptual levels (part of the cognitive-educational, system-historical and system-spiritual) are identified.

Results. Exploring religious situations in various Eastern countries, the author identifies two types of globalization of religious consciousness: the socio-economic path, the socio-cultural path, and, in addition to globalization, separately emphasizes the path of deglobalization. The article explains that all the levels of religious consciousness are present in the Eastern religious consciousness, which perform certain functions in the processes of global globalization. Eastern religious consciousness is not homogeneous, but has its own peculiarities in country expression both in the sources of globalization of religious consciousness and in the direction of these processes. Apart from that, the article examines the highest levels of religious consciousness that reflect the synthesis of several religious teachings at once.

Research implications. The article identified types and ways of globalization of Eastern religious consciousness thus contributing to a more holistic understanding of the religious globalization processes in the world, and the methods of this analysis used are relevant for a systematic view of the global problems of our time.

Aim. To conduct a descriptive analysis of the reconciliation phenomenon within the boundaries of relevant concepts, identify and substantiate its axiological component.

Methodology. The main content of the study is a descriptive analysis of the phenomena of reconciliation, poly-worlds, discord, conciliation, humility. Phenomenological and hermeneutical approaches have become the methodological tools, with the help of which the connotations of the reconciliation phenomenon are revealed.

Results. The significance of reconciliation as a phenomenon of spiritual order has been updated. The conducted descriptive analysis of the reconciliation phenomenon highlighted its relevance to peace, discord, poly-worlds, humility. With the help of philosophical reflection, the significance of the axiological resource of the reconciliation act is shown.

Research implications. The paper gives a description of the phenomenon of reconciliation. It is proved that all concepts relevant to the truce have an axiological, spiritual and moral component.

Aim. To study the formation of the concept of the World Civilization Network, which models the modern global civilization.

Methodology. The methodologies of systemic and noospheric approaches, noospheric energetism, and the network method are applied.

Results. The concept of a world civilization network is presented, where the settlements are the nodes, and the connecting lines show the flows of matter, energy, and information. Three variants of the network are considered. Changes in the network occur either in the nodes and propagate through the node’s connections with other node-settlements, or through the excitation of the connections, which also affects the neighboring nodes, the region, or the entire network. The network models not only the modern global civilization, but also the global consciousness, where the units are the united consciousnesses of settlements (cities).

Research implications. The proposed model of the world civilization network contributes to the study of global civilization. The concept allows modeling various global and local processes of the modern world.

Aim. Тo analyze the phenomenon of internal migration of the Russian population from the viewpoint of identifying its main causes, forms of manifestation in the Russian socio-cultural space, and its considering as a threat to the national security of the country.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study was made up of systematic, activity-based, prognostic approaches, the method of logical and historical unity, as well as analysis and synthesis taken together.

Results. The study concludes that uncontrolled forms of internal migration in the space-time continuum of Russian reality, which arose as a result of political and socio-economic upheavals in the 90s of the XX century, have a negative impact on the territorial and human imbalance of Russian society, manifested in the departure of the population to central Russia. This is due to the degradation of the socio-economic component, which forms the growing gap between the European and Asian parts of the country, creates prerequisites leading to demographic aging, depopulation of vast territories, contributing to the formation of geopolitical challenges and threats to modern Russia.

Research implications. During the work on the research, topical problems related to intra-migration processes in the “geopolitical field” of Russia were identified, as well as the need for the development and implementation in practice of an effective migration policy that could contribute to the resolution of demographic and migration problems.

Aim. To consider the problem of suicidal behavior, its causes, and its characteristics as an indicator of the psychological state of society, as one of the indicators of social pathology in the context of dynamic transformations and crises taking place in modern society.

Methodology. The main content of the study is the understanding of the issues of suicidal behavior in the context of human maladjustment, interconnected with the loss of social stability, the alienation of institutional values that are fundamental to the construction of the sociality of the existing system of society in conditions of dynamic transformations and crises.

Results. The significance of the philosophical conceptualization of the suicide category has been updated. The semantic feature of suicide is a deviation, deviant behavior of a social orientation, expressed in avoiding social reality by ending life due to the loss of communication with society explained by the loss of a person’s social basis, which allows self-realization and contributes to overcoming difficulties, solving problem situations. The criteria of suicidal behavior, its specificity as an indicator of the psychological state of the society and as one of the indicators of social pathology are determined.

Research implications. Mortality from suicide and suicidal behavior, as deviant behavior of a social orientation, should be considered as an indicator of social pathology, as an integral parameter, an indicator of social development that determines and reflects the degree of integration, adaptation of a person to existing conditions and the requirements of the modern society. In the analysis of suicidal behavior, such a category as the meaning of life is fundamental. The presence of a meaning of life in a person is determined by such factors as embeddedness in society, interest in the world and life, where life conditions seem rational and organized, while reality is understood and accepted as a blessing, despite adversity, trials, and difficulties.

Aim. To identify the key mechanisms and evolutionary strategies for the transmission of hereditary information, as well as to determine how the interaction between different levels of the structural organization of “living” systems affects the processes of adaptation. The object of the study is “living” systems that apply evolutionary strategies of “nominal immortality” and “rapid response”.

Methodology. The methodology is based on dialectical methods, systemic and evolutionary approaches. In addition, general scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis are used.

Results. Based on the set goals, this paper examines the main characteristics of “nominal immortality” and “rapid response” as evolutionary strategies for adaptation and survival, as well as the role of information in their implementation at different levels of the structural organization of living systems.

Research implications. The theoretical significance lies in the preparation of the basis for the creation of an ontology of living systems.
