Purpose. Considers the possibility of establishing the Hospitality Philosophy as an independent field of philosophical knowledge. Theoretical basis. Theoretical basis for this issue is the numerous philosophical researches on the topic of hospitality (anthropological, phenomenological, ethical, social-philosophical etc.) and the analysis of its essence and paradigmatic antinomy in the historicalphilosophical way. Scientific novelty. The article attempts to revitalise the notion of philotechnics (φιλοτεχνία) as 'the art of taking care of the guest's welfare' as a possible basic concept of contemporary philosophy of hospitality, which is able to reflect its nature most concisely, including its utilitarian and extra-utilitarian functions – not only a high service level, but also a "humane" attitude towards the guest. Findings. It has been summarized that modern hospitality as a specific human activity needs its own philosophy, which would comprehensively analyze the concept, study the facets and forms of its manifestations, define the worldview paradigm, form a methodology and be able to lead to an understanding of the goals of hospitality, to orient modern hospitality models to achieve certain and clear quality indicators while respecting historically verified value constants.

The article presents the research results on the values of the members of the public movement "Centres for Civic Initiatives" (CCI). The research was conducted in the fall of 2021. The activities of these CCI are done through the self-organisation of citizens at the local level. The activists themselves identify socially significant issues, set goals, and their implementation. This is the most branched public organisation with its centres throughout Ukraine. The research geography covers all regions of Ukraine (10 regions and the city of Kyiv). Research in such public organisations (scale, self-organisation, self-sufficiency) has not been previously conducted. This is the uniqueness of this study. In this research, it was assumed that the respondents selected for the survey (leaders and ordinary members of the organisation) are the most conscious and decisive part of Ukrainians, who, by their actions, claim to solve complex problems of social construction in the context of the general socio-economic crisis. Therefore, they were chosen as information providers for the issues under study. The study was conducted based on M. Rokeach's methodology (list of terminal and instrumental values). The study shows the hierarchy of respondents' values. Most of the members of the public movement "Centres for Civic Initiatives" believe that the value system is the moral norms and priorities of the individual, which serve as a motivating factor in their lives. According to respondents, the top ten values include the following: health, material well-being, family, love, life wisdom, responsibility, efficiency in business, honesty, responsiveness, and cheerfulness. The study focuses on the fact that such public organisations as CCI, which are considered here, are necessary for the conditions of global socio-economic transformations since their activities are aimed at protecting the interests of the country and individual groups of citizens; these activities are of practical importance and produce socially significant results at the local level. The study highlights that to implement of socially significant tasks, suprapersonal rather than individual values must dominate a person participating in social activities. The researcher puts forward a working hypothesis: among civic activists, suprapersonal values (responsibility, responsiveness, happiness of others) dominate over individual ones. The article gives definitions of the concepts "system of values", and "suprapersonal values". This study was carried out in order to determine the dominant values of socially active citizens of Ukraine – the members of the CCI in the context of global socio-economic transformations.

The article provides a theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to determining the components of teaching effectiveness from the students' point of view. Three groups of indicators of the teacher's effectiveness are distinguished: pedagogical mastery, professional and personal qualities; their components are revealed. Students' feedback on the teaching of subjects at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University in two periods – pre-war (during the coronavirus pandemic) (735 reviews) and the military invasion of Russia in Ukraine (627 reviews) were analyzed. It was revealed that the war affected the change of priorities in the assessment of the effectiveness of the professional activity of teachers of higher education institutions, namely: during the martial law, the highest indicators were given to personal qualities, in contrast to the professional qualities of teachers, which were prioritized in the pre-war period.

The article explores the socio-economic transformations of the 1920s and 1930s in a Bulgarian village in the Northern Azov region, drawing on oral histories. It elucidates the mechanism behind the construction of the "collectivization" image in the historical memory of Ukrainian Bulgarians. The thesis posits the existence of a distinct corpus of oral narratives as an alternative historical and cultural model, contrasting with the official Soviet narrative of "modernization". The narrative portrays the disintegration of the peasant community and the instigation of an atmosphere of mistrust and fear, as recounted in personal stories. The study identifies historical memory narratives about violent collectivization as influential in shaping a complex of socially significant personal stories among Bulgarians in the Northern Azov region. Moreover, by integrating documentary evidence on collectivization and the Holodomor in southern Ukraine, the article highlights the informational potential of oral historical sources. Specifically, it reconstructs the primary stages of the Soviet authorities' defragmentation of peasant society through economic and non-economic pressures. The authors illustrate the process of forming and actively navigating the informational environment among the Bulgarian population in the Northern Azov region, depicting verbal images of collectivization functionaries/activists and the "silent mass" of victims of the economic system's collapse during the Holodomor. The article also delves into the phenomenon of emotional and cultural conflict within the historical memory structure, particularly concerning "Komsomol" functionaries. This investigation considers the respondents' narrative structuring and the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships. Conclusively, the authors assert that the transmission of past images to the younger generation occurred with corresponding emotional and value attitudes, particularly towards disarmament, collectivization, and the Holodomor. These attitudes were notably reinvigorated during the 1990s-2000s, influenced by socio-political and economic transformations.
