The article is devoted to the analysis of representations of hierarchical structure of the universe in ancient Greek mythic-epic tradition. In the research there was shown that the myth reflects the main program of interpretation of main principles of the universe by a man in its structure; the Chaos in itself possesses the generative power and forms an order from itself but the hierarchy appears together with the formation of the order-outer space. The first deities – Gaea and born from her Uranus, mountains, Pontus, - possess the great power and in the first place, the power of generation. From works of Gomer and Gesiodus we ascertained that the history of gods was connected with the fight of children with the father-sovereign. One generation of gods became that support on which the other stands. The third generation of gods is sovereigns in greater extent than another one. The generation of Titans is implacable but lives according to unlimited forces of nature. Titans are unbridled. Gods-Olympians, on contrary, have the relation to conscious restriction. Gods of the third generation possess passions: love, hate. However, Olympians as well as humans must submit to transcendental law of the universe. Gods of the third generation join to the rationale. The order of the universe submitted to the law – Destiny is disseminated in human community. Power as an accidental of initial hierarchy gives itself in hands of that who can submit its will to absolute power of Destiny. The legitimacy of power is determined by initial hierarchy of the universe
On the one hand, man is a physical object and a person.
Therefore, we interact with the reality, on one
hand, directly as a physical object, but on the other
hand as a person, i.e. indirectly through our psyche.
On the basis of information from the senses, the consciousness
of a person creates a subjective model of
reality. A man mistakes his subjective model of reality
for reality itself, i.e. unnecessarily assigns an ontological
status, by the hypostatizations. In fact, as
the reality a man perceives not reality itself, but only
its subjective model of that reality. As a result, as a
physical object, a person lives in the physical world,
and as a person he lives in his subjective model of
physical and social reality created on the basis of
information coming to his senses directly and from
the media. This work considers the process of formation
of subjective 3D models reality based of
large numbers of 2D images, a distinction is made in
the content of terms: "Seeing" and "Sensing"; it also
analyzes the transformation of objective facts into
subjective perceptions of consciousness and back.
As a result of hypostatizations of subjective models
of reality, we may observe the same effects as in
virtual reality (a reality effect; the effect of the presence;
the effect of depersonalization; the effect of
virtualization goals, values, and motivations). So,
there is every reason to consider different subjective
models of reality generated by different forms of
consciousness, the virtual models. We study various
consequences of these statements

The article is devoted to the well-known American logician and teacher A. Korzybski, the activity of which was aimed at enhancing the human psyche in the direction of non-identification and non-elementalizm. He called the proposed section of the science of General semantics, and later he created Institute of General semantics in the United States. Scientists believe that human consciousness is limited by the capability of the nervous system and by the use of language. Korzybski supposed his pedagogical purpose to teach people to improve the awareness of abstraction, the ability to see the structure, not only empirical fact. To distinguish between the structures of abstraction it introduces the concept of «map» - a diagram model, any ideological system, all that is formulated people. Korzybski denies the law of identity, which is a global challenge to the laws of thinking: «Whatever you say the thing is, it isn’t». He uses this idea not as a universal code, but as a teaching method for people able to find the way to think under conditions of uncertainty and probability. It is so called «modus operandi» for changing people’s way of thinking. In his work, Science and Sanity, he presents his technique; develop an understanding of his «non-aristotelian» system, which includes the incertainty, nonlocality, nonlinearity, the dependence of the environment. In this regard, it offers every statement be considered as a probability. So every statement must be considered as a probabilistic statement. A. Korzybsky and some modern scientists see the permanent uncertainty not like a problem but a tremendous opportunity for creation and research. In «non-aristotelian» Korzybsky’s theory we have to see the opportunity as the first reality and personal activity as the best language
This work studies the general principles of memory functioning in biological and social systems. It de-scribes the evolution of biological and social inherit-ance, and contributes to the elaboration of the theory and methodology of interdisciplinary studies of memory. The article emphasizes the necessity of system and processual approaches to the investigation of the memory and demonstrates the unity of memory, information and sign systems
The article reveals the thought of hermeneuticity of philosophy by its nature and methods of exposition. Philosophy is not technical, but personal. The study of personal philosophy is impossible without studying the life journey of the philosopher, considering the constitution of his soul and mind. Philosophy always contains a hidden sense that needs to be deployed. It proves the necessity of transition in teaching philosophy to the position of hermeneutics. Insight of philosophy should be sought in education. Only in a condition of insight does man find the direction of his life, reach the fullness of his being. The skill of philosophizing is available only to those who can talk with questions. Sense is born in a "live" dialogue. Asking about the known for the purpose of discovering the unknown sides of the object is the difference between philosophical thinking. Philosophical problematic is diverse and contradictory, and therefore, the existential purpose of philosophy, in the opinion of the authors, is self-interrogation. And philosophical questions do not always require an answer. Philosophical questions do not disappear anywhere; questions are more important than answers. Questions serve as symbols of constant movement and changeability. Uniformity and sameness is not inherent in philosophy. Philosophy is personal, original and impulsive, does not allow invariant judgments. Philosophy should be studied only using a philosophical method
The article proposed and justified method of universalizing cultural studies as an integrative field of knowledge that is associated with a deep understanding of the sacred origins and nature of cultural experience in its specific historical fullness
The article focuses on the problems of religious culture of Islam in the context of everyday reality with the historical and social aspect.

In the article we have observed the main theoretical
and methodological issues of European philosophy
streams in the second half of XX century, which
refused the image of philosophy as exact science,
based on logic conceptual tool. We have shown the
connection of poststructuralist formations and
structuralist scheme in creating «discourse typology»,
a new discipline which implies philosophy to be
considered as one of literature genres. Structuralists’
search starts from the description of invariable, static
structures that help to create separate pieces of fiction.
The latter are observed as isolated situations in which
these atomic structures are used. Such attitude, as
revealed in the article, results in two deductions. The
first considers literature having no specific features
compared to other types of discourse, i.e. it does not
exist as such. (Ts.Todorov) The second deduction
implies that being aware of the logical creation of any
meaning reader’s hermeneutics is seen as unnecessary.
These deductions resulted in a new scientific
discipline «discourse typology», developed by
structuralists. This stream was continued by
poststructuralists, i.e. strategy to «poetize philosophy»
is justified by the expansion of the object for science
cognition in the direction of not verifiable and not
rationalized, requiring separate methods of study as
well as description language. Consequently,
philosophical discourse becomes that very descriptive
language that helps to overcome «logocentrism» of
traditional thinking. Further in the article we consider
the main «logomachy» strategies developed by
J.Derrida, i.e. «deconstruction», «structure
decentration», «critics of transcendental significatum»,
«critics of structural properties of the construction»
