Oracles, a religious practice, were prevalent in early human civilizations. However, it was not until the New Kingdom period, over 1,500 years after the inception of ancient Egyptian civilization, that direct records of oracle rituals came to light. The well-developed and institutionalized nature of oracle rituals during the New Kingdom era has ignited scholarly discussions concerning the origins of ancient Egyptian oracles. Whereas literary sources predating the New Kingdom may offer glimpses into certain aspects of oracle practices, they cannot serve as direct evidence of their existence and should be approached with a critical mindset.

The presented text focuses on the stereotype of Europe in the discourse of the radical Orthodox Church in Russia. A difference between a generally accepted concept and a discursively conditioned stereotype, as understood by W. Lippmann, represents an important methodological aspect. The empirical material was selected from over 70 publications from https://3rim.info/, a religious news aggregator. Its analysis allowed the author to reach the following conclusions: in this discourse, a concept of EUROPE undergoes a significant axio-logical reinterpretation and expansion exceeding the concept profiling, and creating a stereotype characteristic of the studied discourse.

This paper explores the thematic aspect of bastard and the alternative spaces present in the novel to show how Armenian genocide is addressed and unsilenced from the censorship of the State. The juxtaposition of the Armenian issue with the tribulations of 'Kazanci' family is argued as a metaphorical and personalised account of Armenian genocide. Such an engagement with the past has been made possible by bringing political and personal together in the form of a family in Istanbul and a family in America; one belonging to a Muslim majority and the other belonging to an Armenian religious minority.

Abstract
The article demonstrates a concept of state, society and politics coined by contemporary Greek religious philosopher Christos Yannaras. The concept derives from two sources: on the one hand from the criticism of the modern cataphatic forms of state and society and on the other hand from the apophatic character of the Greek polis. With this creative critical synthesis, based on the apophatic attitude, Yannaras produces a conception of a new polity, contributing to the liberation of the human subject from various aspects of alienation in the cataphatic systems.

The article aims to show the main aspects of Michel de Montaigne's philosophy of man, exposing the existential themes presented in it. The paper presents Montaigne's critique of speculative (academic) philosophy, his reluctance to construct a philosophical system, to describe and explain human life experience as a whole. The article emphasizes that the French philosopher appears as a defender of religious tolerance, a spokesman of dialogue and cultural relativism, and also – considering the existential themes of his work (the problem of loneliness, moral values or art of living) – that he may be considered a pioneer of existential philosophy.

This article reads the design of the British Imperial War Graves cemeteries in the context of the religious pluralism of the late Empire. Reviewing the deliberations of the design committee and parliamentary debates on the design of the cemeteries, it notes that the Christian character of the cemeteries was relatively muted, a design decision which caused no small amount of public and political controversy, but which permitted the cemeteries to present an image of a unified Empire. The paper argues that the choice of quotations specifically from the apocrypha was an important and deliberate aspect of this presentational strategy.

The atheist and the believer can be best enemies, but their epistemic disagreement is definitely radical. For it is not a disagreement on religious belief itself, but about what allows the believer to believe.
