It introduces scientific articles that contain practically new materials on cultural and art education, theory and history of arts, Ukrainian art culture issues, and therefore design a modern view on a wide range of the topical problems of Ukrainian cultural studies, which is one of the most significant fields of national humanities. The monograph consists of fourteen chapters, all of which correspond to the implementation of the main purpose of this work to create a common interdisciplinary discursive space to understand the subject field of modern culture. We have followed the logical development principles for the material arrangement to reveal the most important vectors of current cultural knowledge. These are transformational and innovative processes in the world and Ukrainian cultural and artistic education, sociocultural situation and art in the context of modern information culture, current issues on the theory and practice of artistic creativity, the identification of specific parameters of the transformation processes in the historical progress of humanity following the Ukrainian culture-specific element. The chapter devoted to innovations in cultural and artistic education holds a special place in the monograph. After all, today there is a need to study the crucial role that education, and, in particular, art education, plays in the life of society, overcoming the adverse circumstances and trends in Ukraine and the world. Therefore, in this regard, it is essential to study the experience of higher educational institutions, in particular, the case of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts as a leader among cultural studies universities of our country; to summarise in terms of theory their efforts in search of new ways and means to increase the contribution of higher education to the development of a society of culture. The authors of the monograph have paid much attention to the consideration and a certain rethinking of the framework of categories and concepts in cultural and art studies. Culture is a creative and active way of a person’s cognition of the universe, which includes both the external world of nature and society and the inner spiritual world of the individual. The multidimensional and inexhaustible nature of these worlds encourages the synthetic interdisciplinary research aimed at identifying cross-cutting mechanisms and discursive conditions for the formation and functioning of certain meanings, ideas, notions and concepts in culture and art. 5 Thus, the subject matter of the collective monograph is quite diverse. At the same time, many issues indicate the multi-level nature of cultural phenomena, the study of which requires a broad interdisciplinary approach. The research materials allow us to form an idea of the new theoretical and analytical experience accumulated by scientists, monitor the formation of new scientific schools, directions and vectors of cultural studies, determine current trends and movements of creative search of contemporary artists, and highlight the most innovative approaches to the artistic work. The monographers’ deep expertise, confident mastery of both classical concepts and the latest scientific discoveries in the field of cultural studies provide strong confidence in scientific findings. It allows us to assert that we are dealing with a profoundly theoretical, original, and, at the same time, very important for the understanding of the human existence interdisciplinary research. This work is highly appreciated as one that would have a comprehensive scientific, practical and didactic significance. The collective monograph is intended for a wide range of humanitarians, scientists, teachers, cultural specialists, art historians, students, PhD students, as well as experts, representatives of creative professions and all those who are interested in the issues of culture, creativity and honour the incredible world of art. 6 DOI https://doi.org/10.36059/978-966-397-225-1-1 INNOVATIONS IN ARTS AND CULTURAL EDUCATION. “EVENT MANAGER”: EVENT CULTURE OUTLOOK Poplavskyi Mykhailo INTRODUCTION Ukrainian educational space reaches the point of bifurcation tirelessly, after which a period of stability and certainty should come. At least, the professional educational environment is tired of multi-vector and contradictory shifts of the goalposts “in view” of higher education, and all the efforts of the administration and the teaching and research community of the higher education institution are spent rather on adapting to those changes (with the inevitable resentment mood and frustration of actions) than on approval of the strategy. The flow of educational “stories” by overseas experience often exceeds the measure of expediency. The permanence of changes of their introduction as mandatory does not allow us to form and approve the stable development strategy (and is it worth pointing out that in such a way we lose the main thing as to understand the social significance of education, which was based on the real trust and autonomy

Philosophy and Cosmology, Volume 26, 148-155. https://doi.org/10.29202/phil-cosm/26/12 The research reflects the philosophy of vitality, mortality, and immortality, based on the mystical life and theories of Hryhoriy Skovoroda and Confucius. What connects these two philosophers from different epochs and parts of the world? What makes them always stay interesting for each new generation? And what are their ideas still provoking plenty of interpretations? Dealing with real philosophy, there are always more questions than answers. We can never be sure whether the true ideas of the teachings of the philosophers of such high level were revealed or stayed mysterious secrets for the next generations. But we hope to analyze the tips, given by the great minds, to find out someday the clues to the actual problems for humankind of any century: What is the sense of life? Where can we find happiness? Is it possible to predict death? Are there any possibilities for becoming immortal? This study is focused on investigating the possible answers to all these questions, using modern discoveries of American scientists and the clues left for us in the legacy of the philosophers beyond time and space: Hryhoriy Skovoroda and Confucius.

(541) 344-1528 • Fax (541) 344-1506 An imprint of WIPF and STOCK Publishers Visit our Web site at www.wipfandstock.com Contemporary philosophy and theology are ever more conscious of the fact that the model of relations between religion and culture developed in modernity is fundamentally flawed. e processes of the secularization of society, culture, and even religion are rooted in the dualistic vision of religion and culture introduced in the late Middle Ages. In seeking a way out, we need to explore domains of culture unaffected by Western European secular thinking. Russian thought is remarkably well prepared to formulate an alternative to secular modernity. Indeed, in Russian culture there was neither a Renaissance nor an Enlightenment. Eastern Christianity retained an integral patristic vision of human nature that had not been divided into separate “natural” and “supernatural” elements. ese pre- and non-modern visions are now gaining exceptional value in the postmodern reality in which we find ourselves. e heritage of Russian Christian thought may serve as a source of inspiration for alternative approaches to religion and culture. In this respect, Russian thought may be compared with nouvelle théologie, Radical Orthodoxy, and other recent movements in Christian postsecular thought. For this reason it remains astonishingly contemporary. APOLOGY of CULTURE Religion and Culture in Russian ought edited by Artur Mrówczyński-Van Allen, Teresa Obolevitch, & Paweł Rojek “Apology of Culture is a timely volume addressing the unity of theology and culture in the conditions of extreme secularization of all forms of life.
