Based on the analysis of the national literature about the migration of the peoples of the North Caucasus, the author concludes that the migration of highland people is changing in many ways the ethno-demographic situation; changing ethnic and cultural image of immi-grants, which, in turn, influenced the evolution of men-talities of highlanders. The dialogue with the new neighbors had mutually enriching character in general. The purpose of this article is to identify the impact of the migration on changing of the mentality of the peo-ples of the North Caucasus
In the recent past, class-consciousness was considered
one of the expression forms of social consciousness
and acted as its main form due to close interaction with
interests of people. The class-consciousness and the
consciousness of classes were two separate matters of
consideration. It was supposed that the essence of
class-consciousness and of the class-psychology
concomitant with it could only be comprehended in
consideration of structure of the social consciousness
as a whole. The correlation and interconnection of
social psychology and structural units of social
consciousness and ideology was a topical issue.
However, it should be noted that any consideration of
the social consciousness and psychology is just a
naked abstraction when it is made in any of their
interpretations with no account taken of the material
bearer, i.e. the human who is a living organism, and of
population, genetic and environmental circumstances.
Therefore, talking about the class-consciousness and
revolutionary nature of consciousness of the working
class, we meet the following expected question: how
can we talk about any progress if everything comes to
destruction and further formation of an allegedly
classless society with bloodshed and death of a
significant part of population? At the same time, we
can observe reemergence of the thesis of human
heterogeneity that the humankind is not a single
species but a biological genus. The species this genus
consists of have their own genus-consciousness, which
is also aggravated by race features and race
consciousness. That is why there is actually no sense
in talking about peculiarity of the class-consciousness
and social consciousness regardless of certain society
encased in some geographical shell. Research in this
field is worth being developed after moving to the
level of biosphere

The problem of human freedom as an existential
phenomenon. It analyzes the current reality, where the
average person with a conformist attitude was unable

practical sense of philosophizing, as a necessary
process of formation of the inner freedom of the
individual
The article discusses and explains the similarity of organizational, structural and functional «solutions» at different system stages of the evolutionary development presented in nature and society. It is shown that at any level of biological organisation transition to a new stages of evolutionary development is implemented not only via «classical» individual changes (adaptations) of the particular organisms, but also by means of: 1) integration of organisms into the new systems of «superorganisms», 2) the differentiation of their functions or the division of labor, and 3) the development of internal and external communication, integrated into the overall communication system, ranging from single cells to ecological and social communication. The article argues that the distinctive characteristic of the present stage of evolution is cumulative cultural evolution of complex social systems that support (scaffold) the development of their individuals, through learning processes. It is shown that such social systems still have structural and functional isomorphism with biological systems; however, their reproduction and transmission implemented predominantly through more developed in the human community non-genetic inheritance systems, the advanced division of labour and distributed cognition.
The main purpose of this study is to examine how language and its historically inherited content and structure allows accumulating knowledge and determines the development of the individuals, culture and science. The article shows the theoretical drawbacks of modern "pragmatic turn" in which language is depicted only as a derivate of natural, cultural and cognitive systems. Instead, it is stated that language, in addition to all of the above, have to be considered also as a relatively independent basis and one of the causes that determine individual and social development. For that reason, the study examines the system nature of language, thought and culture, their environmental and social "embeddiness", a close relationship with other sign systems and with various forms of social activities. From that point, theoretical reduction of multiple relations and varying causes in complex ecological and social systems only to bilateral relations of language-thought, language-culture are revised. Particular attention is paid to the role of language in the accumulation and systematization of scientific knowledge and the transmission of cultural traditions. In that context, language is seen as part of the non-genetic inheritance systems, "social a priori" that determines the content and creates conditions for cumulative social evolution. Therefore, it is maintained that the comprehensive studies of language and its significance for culture and science have to embrace within a systems approach both the linguistic and pragmatic "turns"
The article discovers specific features typical to a man of world-attitude and world-view. Making comparative analysis of these phenomena of human consciousness, the author reveals the notion-forming features of each of them. World-attitude has such features as subjectiveness and discontinuity, world-view’s attributes are subjectification and continuity. At the same time both phenomena are characterized by process, intentionality and contextuality, which show up in essentially different ways
The article is devoted to research of the interrelation of human world-attitude and self-determination. The author shows the differences in the nature of links of world-definition and world-creativity of environment as two procedural components of world-attitude and self-determination of a human being
