Творчество и развитие общества в XXI веке: взгляд науки, философии и богословия

This article is dedicated to problems of Russian church art transformation and the change of church consciousness at first under the influence of neo-pagan renaissance art and then under the influence of the Age of Enlightenment's secular culture. This historical perspective is considered as an analogy of today's situation, which is characterized by the same radical transformation of the Roman Catholic Church consciousness after The Second Vatican Council in 1960s. This turning point seems to be an attempt of Catholic theology to accept modern culture, which is often an-ti-christian in form. This leads to profound changes of all theological and religious basis of the Catho-lic Church. The latest tendencies connected with rapprochement of Russian Church with Vatican demands serious reflection and the analysis of possible effects of the Second Vatican's spiritual in-fluence not only on church art but also on all formations of our Church. The article is an attempt of the proposed analysis.

Keywords: Roman Catholic Church, creation, The Second Vatican Council, culture, con-temporary art, church art, Icon.

Zemlyakov Dmitry N., Russian Economic School as Creative Methodological Form of National Outlook

The subject of social sciences is represented by institutionalized axiological structures. But science itself as a systematic reflection on these designs and is the product of axiological creativity. This rule is also true of the most “materialistic” of all the Humanities – Economics. The article dis-cusses the features of formation of the national research schools as organizational and methodologi-cal forms of national ideology on the example of the Russian economic school. Extensive historical and factual material shows the relationship of the dominant forms of history of Russian national ideology with the intellectual epistemological structures, institutionalized in the form of scientific schools. Russia's ability to implement social and intellectual creativity is asserted and these results most appropriately reflect the nature of the domestic socio-economic processes. They are of general methodological importance, occupying a worthy place in the international world of science.

Keywords: axiology, epistemology, mentality, integrity, historicity, goal-setting.
