This began in 1997, when we first the Council at an international scholarly conference in Lviv (Ukraine). The conference was arranged by the RVP with the support of the Soros Foundation and devoted to the problem of building civil societies in East European countries. During the conference it became clear that the approach of the RVP to certain problems of history of philosophy and interaction between cultures in the contemporary world had many parallels in our own approach. We had been working on the problematic of the “Dialogue of Civilizations: East–West” and had arranged three international conferences (1992, 1995, 1997) connected with these issues. The Council enthusiastically joined our projects and took an active part in the four succeeding conferences, held in Moscow (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005) as Co-Chair of the Organizing Committee and member of the Scholarly Committee. In addition, a few research projects were carried out with the active participation of the RVP. Our scholars joined in a number of extended 10-week seminars and two monographs were published in English in the U.S.A., namely: - Islamic and Christian Cultures: Conflict or Dialogue; Bulgarian Philosophical Studies, III. Cultural Heritage and Contemporary Change, v.21.–Washington, D.C.: The Council for Research in Values and Philosophy, 2001; and - Values of Islamic Culture and the Experience of History; Russian Philosophical Studies, 1. Edited by Nur Kirabaev and Yuriy Pochta.– Washington, D.C.: The Council for Research in Values and Philosophy, 2002. The articles included in the present volume, Dialogue among Civilizations, Russian Philosophical Studies, IV, also stemmed from the cooperation between the Council for Research in Values and Philosophy and the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. Part I, “Rethinking the Philosophical and Political Foundations in post-Soviet Russia,” deals with the general problematic of contemporary Russian philosophy; Part 2 deals with Russian philosophy and its influence on the “Russian idea” and the Eurasian doctrine; Part 3 concentrates on myth and logos in various civilizational contexts. Chapter I, “Philosophy at the Dawn of the New Millennium,” by Nur Kirabaev, Anatoly Semushkin and Valery Gubin, offers an evaluation of the present status of philosophy, identifies the symptoms and the main characteristics of losing its disciplinary borders, and underscores the preconditions and reasons leading to a devaluation of traditional 2 Introduction philosophical values. The authors suggest possible ways for rehabilitating the status and prestige of philosophy along with the restoration of its spiritual and professional identity. Chapter II by Pyotr Grechko, “Contemporaneity: Socio-Historical Being,” claims that the deeply historical nature of all social life is self- evident, while historicity primarily means changes and differences. Therefore it is important to identify differences, or determine a time-scale in which they occur. Most likely it will be necessary to start from contemporaneity which stands at the top of these differences and which alone can provide the full, panoramic and dynamic outlook of history. The context of contemporaneity always sets the “pre-conceptions” of nature, society and human being. As the author of the article insists, it is necessary to emphasize that by contemporaneity here we mean not only living in the present, but also existing at the advanced level of producing progress, keeping pace with the present age and being on the cutting edge of historical time. Chapter III, “Culture and Global Communication,” by Vladimir Mironov, attempts to analyze the most powerful and all-embracing phenomenon of contemporary culture regulating its structural and directional components in the sense of function and essence, namely the phenomenon of global communication. The author also reflects on the possible standards for creative work and the integrative processes within the communicative space of modern society, and analyzes the consequences of global communication in terms of gains and losses. Chapter IV, by Dmitry N. Baryshnikov, “Ideological Trends in Contemporary World Politics,” shows how ideology did not end with the fall of either fascism or communism. Rather it lives on in the neo- conservative dynamics in Washington as well as in Russia, but now begins to take on a new set of postmodern characteristics such as weakness in theoretical bases and an anti-globalist rhetoric combined with new strengths in communications. Chapter V, “’War on Terror,’ Postcommunist Transformation and Globalization,” by Piotr Dutkiewicz, moves the discussion to terrorism in the conviction that the modern era and unilateral policies are already past and that it is increasingly recognized that a new policy is needed. Chapter VI, by Vladimir A. Gutorov, “Political Culture and Political Power in the Epoch of Globalization,” focuses on two issues: the effect of the transformation of political power on political theory and whether such theory requires an ethical component. Part II. “Russian Philosophy: Diversity in Unity”. Chapter VII, by Mikhail Maslin, “Rethinking Russia,” addresses the main trends and problems in the development of historico-philosophical studies on Russia – particularly in the post-Soviet period. He presents a concise historico-philosophical outline of the religious philosophy at the Introduction 3 basis of the “Russian idea” from its origins in the mid eleventh century to the twentieth century. Chapter VIII, “’The Russian Idea’: In Search of National Identity,” by Viacheslav Serbinenko, demonstrates how the numerous reflections on the destiny of Russia, which occupied an important place in nineteenth- century Russian thought, were essentially philosophical in nature. The decisive question was not focused on the specific historical fate of Russia and the West, nor on the relations between the two. The “slavophiles” and the “westernisers” debated the reality of the Christian path in history, arguing over how far the European peoples and Russia were going down this road, and whether it was at all attainable. V. Soloviev and F. Dostoevsky posed an undoubtedly metaphysical but nevertheless concrete question to Russia and to the West. Could nations and states that have declared themselves Christian disregard such declared religious and moral principles in their historical actions. Even more with nationalist ideologies that are absolutely incompatible with the Christian faith can they justify politics that can lead to the ‘international destruction of humanity’? Having developed their own metaphysics of the ‘Russian idea’, our thinkers consider national unity to be unattainable without profound understanding and respect for other traditions and psychological experiences.

The paper attempts to be neutral and stands away from the religious and mythol- ogy sides. This is to achieve the scientifc and objective approach and to be neutral between the Qur’an and Torah as heavenly texts. It is worthy to say that over a long time, both of them have been subjects to be analyzed and criticized. The researchers should be neutral in tackling and analyzing the Biblical and the Qur’anic text, and to determine the suitability of each one in dealing with the contemporary event in terms of religious judgment according to the principles of interpretation and its signifcance to the addressees. The problem of the study may be summarized in the following questions: 1. Does the quotation in the religious text from human heritage (literary and ideologi- cal) have negative refections on the originality of the idea? 2. Do the Qur’anic and Biblical verse include literature issue or it is merely affecting with the old mythology? 3. What are the factors that lead to those quotations? And have the time and the place any effect in those quotations? The paper aims at: a. Identifying the motives that lead the contemporary thought to consider the holy texts and to fnd out whether this consideration is to gain special benefts or it may cause perditions .b.

  • The Decline of Buddhism in India
    The Decline of Buddhism in India It is almost impossible to provide a continuous account of the near disappearance of Buddhism from the plains of India. This is primarily so because of the dearth of archaeological material and the stunning silence of the indigenous literature on this subject. Interestingly, the subject itself has remained one of the most neglected topics in the history of India. In this book apart from the history of the decline of Buddhism in India, various issues relating to this decline have been critically examined. Following this methodology, an attempt has been made at a region-wise survey of the decline in Sind, Kashmir, northwestern India, central India, the Deccan, western India, Bengal, Orissa, and Assam, followed by a detailed analysis of the different hypotheses that propose to explain this decline. This is followed by author’s proposed model of decline of Buddhism in India. K.T.S. Sarao is currently Professor and Head of the Department of Buddhist Studies at the University of Delhi. He holds doctoral degrees from the universities of Delhi and Cambridge and an honorary doctorate from the P.S.R. Buddhist University, Phnom Penh.

  • BULGARIAN REVIVAL INTELLIGENTSIA Natural
    BULGARIAN REVIVAL INTELLIGENTSIA Natural Philosophy System of Dr. Petar Beron Petar Beron was born at year 1800 in the town Kotel, “a miniature of Nuremberg”, in a rich family of handcrafts and merchants. In Kotel he received his primary education at the cell school of Stoiko Vladislavov and Raino Popovich. He went further to Bucharest where he entered the school of Greek educator Konstantin Vardalach. The latter, a famous for his time pedagogue and encyclopedist, had influenced a lot for the formation of Beron as scientist and philosopher. In 1824 Beron is compelled to leave Bucharest, because he participated in a “Greek plot”, and goes to Brashov, another Rumanian town, where he compiled “The Fish Primer”. This book was fundamental for the Reformation in Bulgaria and an achievement for the young scholar. In 1825 Beron enrolled as a student in Heidelberg University, Germany, where he proceeded philosophy until two years later when he transferred to Munich to study medicine. On the 9 July 1831, after successfully defending a doctoral dissertation, Beron was promoted Doctor in Medicine. Dissertation was in Latin and concerned an operation technique in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The young physician worked in Bucharest and Craiova, but after several years of general practice he quit his job and started merchandise. After fifteen years he made a fortune and went to Paris where he lived as a renter. Here he started a real scientific career. His scope was to entail all the human knowledge by that time and to make a natural philosophy evaluation by creating a new “Panepisteme”. His encyclopedic skills were remarkable.

Öke attended Şişli Terakki Lyceum for grade school and Robert College for high school. After graduating from Robert College in 1973, he went to England to complete his higher education in the fields of economics and history at Cambridge University. He also specialized in political science and international relations at Sussex, Cambridge, and Istanbul universities. In 1979 he went to work at the United Nation’s Palestine Office. He returned to Turkey in 1980 to focus on his academic career. He soon became an assistant professor at Boğaziçi University in 1984 and a professor in 1990. In 1983, TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation) brought Öke on as a general consulting manager for various documentaries, including “Voyage from Cadiz to Samarkand in the Age of Tamerlane.” Up until 2006 he was involved in game shows, talk shows, news programs and discussion forums on TRT, as well as on privately owned channels. He also expressed his evaluations on foreign policy in a weekly syndicated column, “Mim Noktası” (Point of Mim). Though he manages to avoid administrative duties, he has participated in official meetings abroad on behalf of the Turkish Foreign Ministry. Throughout his academic career, Öke has always prioritized research. Of his more than twenty works published in Turkish, English, Urdu and Arabic, his writings on the issues of Palestine, Armenia, Mosul, and the Caliphate as they relate to the history of Ottoman and Turkish foreign policy are considered foundational resources.
