Mikhail Bakhtin is a Russian philosopher who offered a different way of viewing sociality and its representation—a recurring theme in much of his writing. This chapter discusses four interrelated aspects of Bakhtin’s work that are of particular relevance to process thinking in organization studies and offer a distinct way to understand and represent sociality: the role of dialogue in the formation and understanding of social experience, the nature of language as lived conversation and responsive utterances, synthesizing the lived world and the world of reason, and carnival and culture. It also examines the implications of Bakhtin’s philosophy for organization studies.

The article examines the theory of knowledge of the Russian philosopher of the XXth century V. E. Sesemann and his understanding of reality. The author emphasizes that in the field of epistemology, Sesemann, being influenced by E. Husserlʼs phenomenology, first of all, answers the question of the possibility of cognition of the reality of the surrounding world and the special role of perception in this process. However, unlike Husserl, Sesemann is convinced that true knowledge is achievable not only in relation to the things of the world, but also in relation to their relationships and interrelations, which are seen in a special kind of intuition – a conceptual intuition. Seseman believes that the cognition of the surrounding world depends not only on the cognizing subject, but also on the objectivity itself, which may not always be accessible to cognition. The article pays close attention to Sesemannʼs understanding of reality as the reality of becoming, one of the types of which is movement. In this case, Sesemann argues, it is impossible to create a unified picture of the world, and our knowledge can only be probabilistic. The author examines the epistemological and ontological views of Seseman in the context of his time, comparing them with the main trends of philosophy of the XXth century, primarily with phenomenology and neo-Kantianism.

The academic and social experience accumulated over the years and decades of our society’s activity demonstrates the unique role of the headmaster as the first and principal organizer of the educational process, the teacher of the student youth, the parents and all employees of the institution. And that’s understandable. The headmaster is a person who the whole team is based on, who they follow and whose activity, as a tuning fork, sets the tone of the work of the whole school. He is not only the organizer of the educational process or the head of the business, but also the first teacher-advisor of the team. He is fully responsible for the state of work of the school as a whole, and most importantly – for the civic, spiritual, moral, patriotic charge with which teachers approach their pupils, and they, in turn, assimilate it and go into the world as independent and creative personalities. It is he who – confident, convinced, creative – conveys to the team his own worldview potential, accumulated in his time during his university studies, as well as in the process of gaining practical academic and civic experience. Therefore, it is quite understandable the need for a high ideological training of the director, the formation and constant updating of his political, spiritual, moral, aesthetic, etc. culture in general.

RESUMO: Esteartigo tem po robjetivo apresentar, de maneira interdisciplinar, reflexões acerca da relação entre espaço público e linguagens. Trata-se de abordar o tema a partir: (i) das noções bakhtinianas de enunciado, significação, mundo da vida, mundo da cultura, responsabilidade e ética; (ii) das concepções ricoeurianas de atos de fala, de configuração do mundo habitável, dadupla estrutura da identidade, enquanto idem e ipse, da relação entre identidade e alteridade e da dimensão ética das narrativas ficcionais. Algumas dessas noções são aproximadas às definições de Arendt acerca do espaço público e do papel do discurso e da ação nesta esfera. Finalizando, o conceito de espaço público possibilita a discussão de uma certa concepção de ética, vinculada à relação (dialógica) dos sujeitos com a alteridade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: discurso, espaço-público, linguagens, ética. ABSTRACT: This article aims at presenting, in an interdisciplinary way, reflections on the relation between the public space and languages. For this purpose,we shall discuss the following topics: (i) fromBakhtin’sperspective, the notions of: utterance, meaning, the world of life, the world of culture, responsibility and ethics; (ii) from Ricqueur’s perspective, conceptions of: speech acts, the configuration of the habitable world, the double structure of the identity – as idem and ipse –, the relation between self identity and otherness, and the ethical dimension in fictional narratives. Some of these notions are related to Arendt’s definitions of the public sphere and the role of discourse and action in this sphere. To conclude, the notion of public space leads us to a discussion of a certain conception of ethics connected to the (dialogic) subject-other relations. KEYWORDS: discourse, public space, languages, ethics.

The article reconstructed the philosophical position of the main representative of Westernism P. Ya. Chaadayev on the basis of a providentialistic understanding of history by the Russian philosopher. It is shown how, through the centering of the role of Christianity in the historical process, according to the Russian philosopher, a Western culture arises, from which Russia is split off. The positive mission of the Russian nation isolated from the rest of the world is also explicated.

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.
