The article compares Pope Francis's encyclical "LAUDATO SI" (2015) and the report by the Club of Rome, ""ome On!: Capitalism, Short-termism, Population and the Destruction of the Planet" (2018), in how they harness the narrative potential of the concept of home. Both with overtly religious and entirely secular arguments, the narrative of our common home is presented as a possible alternative to the prevailing narrative of growth today. The metaphor of home possesses not only conceptual but also generative power to offer concrete solutions to two of humanity's most pressing issues today: the problem of waste and the problem of climate change. The narrative of home activates the power of local places while simultaneously seeking global balance on a worldwide scale. The study focuses on how the narrative of home transforms the relationship with places and the balance between the local and the global.

The latest volume in the Cambridge Histories of Philosophy series, the Cambridge History of Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century brings together twenty-nine leading experts in the field and covers the years 1790–1870.

The purpose of the article is to study approaches to the development of corporate culture of healthcare workers in terms of forming a tolerant attitude to patients belonging to various ethno-cultural and confessional groups. This topic has become relevant not only due to the need to improve the quality of medical care provided to the population, but also due to the increased requirements for medical organizations in attracting extra-budgetary funds through import of medical services. Among the measures of managerial actions is further development of the foundations of the corporate culture of employees of medical organizations, which can contribute to solving the problem of attracting patients belonging to different national and religious groups. The results of the analysis (systematization of scientific literature and sociological survey in the form of interviews) of the main problems, the solution of which is associated with development of corporate culture, show that the following issues come to the fore: successful communication of doctors and nurses with patients; differentiation of opinions on organ transplantation (donation); critical situations connected with euthanasia, termination of pregnancy, death of patient (including suicide); attitude to the issues of life reproduction (artificial conception, surrogacy, cloning); difficulty of observing rituals during the treatment of patients. This article presents conclusions on the analysis of two above problems and possible approaches to their solution: 1) communication of medical workers with patients; 2) attitude to organ transplantation. The authors propose measures for formation of new competencies in the corporate culture (as a set of formal and informal requirements in a medical organization imposed on its employees) aimed at preventing and overcoming conflict situations arising from misunderstandings in the relationship between patients and medical staff.

The article presents the topic of arguments of the existence of God in the works of Russian religious philosophers of the second half of the 19th — the first half of the 20th century. This topic is found in the discourse of Russian religious philosophy in three variants: putting forward arguments for the existence of God, analysis of Kant's criticism of the proofs for the existence of God, statements about the meaninglessness of the proofs for religious consciousness. In all variants, there is an inextricable connection between Russian philosophers' argumentation and their metaphysical propositions. The discourse of Russian religious philosophy itself should be considered a way of contextual demonstration of the significance of metaphysical propositions for religious consciousness. The topic was not only a moment of strengthening the epistemological status of religious knowledge in relation to scientific knowledge, but it had also the importance of philosophizing to form religious worldview. Using the examples of the analysis of both the proofs of the existence of God and their criticism, which is found in the works by S.N.Bulgakov, V.I.Nesmelov, V. S. Solovyov, E.N.Trubetskoy, B.N.Chicherin, and S.L.Frank, the pragmatics of their discourse is revealed — it was aimed not at finding some new ways to substantiate the existence of God with rational means, but at substantiating the necessity of religious faith for the human reason — the faith is not only the main element of religious consciousness, but also a metaphysical principle of cognition of God. The study of the contexts of the appeal of Frank and other Russian philosophers to the topic of the ontological argument leads to the conclusion that such an appeal was associated with the demonstration of the relevance of their metaphysical constructions with the Christian religion.

Examined is the claim by Jurgen Habermas that Karl Marx failed to transcend the philosophy of the subject. This claim is compared to Gyorgy Markus's alternative rendition of Marx (Language & Production, Dordrecht: Reidel, 1986), which tries to save the Marxian paradigm of production for contemporary critical theory. Habermas's assimilation of Marx to the philosophy of the subject is a consequence of his belief that Marxian critical theory lacks normative foundations. Markus argues that Habermas drastically narrows the significance of the paradigm of production, which casts doubt on Marx's assimilation to the philosophy of the subject. It is concluded that Markus's challenge to the ideal of a Marx immured in the philosophy of the subject is a vindication of Marx's claim to have broken with philosophical tradition, which renders Habermas guilty of overestimating his own break with tradition while misrepresenting the achievement of Marx.
