Ideological Framework of Legal Consciousness

Valery MALAKHOV, Igor KOLOSOV — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article mainly serves to prove the thesis that the ideological framework of legal consciousness is the element that makes up the conceptual units, each of which represents an organic unity of various social and spiritual phenomena.

The subject of the research are ideas representing the essence of legal consciousness from the perspective of its organic connection to other forms of social awareness, therefore determining the multifunctional nature of right.

A direct consequence of the basic idea of the article, which claims that the basic conceptual units underlying the ideological framework of legal consciousness are not related to law in their essence (except for the idea of justice), is expressed in two methodologically significant thoughts: firstly, ideas make up the foundation for the critical evaluation of the technically axiological assumption that they embody the essence of legal awareness itself, and secondly, they declare the synthesising capacity of legal awareness which, in turn, manifests the comprehensive, and in modern society, genuinely universal nature of right in its reality.

The final result of the research is justification of the statement that the ideological framework of legal consciousness is made up of conceptual units which shape up and reproduce the organic connection of right and legal consciousness to other forms of social life and social consciousness.

A Historical Overview of Stereotyping

Mariana AVETISYAN, Juliet DAVOODYAN (DAVTIAN) — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Globalization, the process of increased interconnectedness among countries, in other words, unification and uniformity of cultures, lifestyles, and customs globally has become the core aim and modus operandi of today’s societies, by and large. Globalization is in different areas including culture. Although the globalizing machine imposes general standards and expectations while aiming at dismissing local beliefs, habits and rituals, and ethnic cultures, at times it still has not been able to annihilate traditional as well as national values and dogmas because of which cultural stereotypes emerge, regularly.

Nonetheless, stereotyping is not a new concept in human history. The goal of this article is to shed light on the origin and history of stereotyping throughout various periods and disciplines of human history while raising awareness about the urgency of safeguarding ethnic and local customs through stereotyping, amid globalizations.

Naira HAKOBYAN, Rafik PETROSYAN — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The problem of social neuroticism is one of the key problems that unites a wide variety of psychological phenomena. Social neuroticism is interconnected with both personal traits and social processes. Often, the phenomenon of social neuroticism is interpreted as a high level of anxiety, a tendency to reduce adaptability and stress resistance, as well as instability and disharmony in social behavior. The phenomenon of social neuroticism is closely related to subjective well-being assessments and is characterized by distortions and negative shades in perceptions of well-being. Over the past century, psychologists, philosophers, and other researchers in the field of anthropology have paid increasing attention to the social manifestations of neuroticism. Not only the importance of the social factors of neuroticism is emphasized, but also the existential significance of this phenomenon, which is becoming more and more characteristic of the subjective well-being perceptions of modern man. To understand the multifaceted manifestations and characterizations of social neuroticism, it is necessary to consider the phenomenon from the perspective of the development of philosophical thought, to uncover both the personal-psychological and external-social factors that form the basis of a person’s vital activity, which shape the social perceptions and meanings of neuroticism.

Fundamental Characteristics of Information and its Role in Contemporary Societies

Marine SHAHBAZYAN — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The information revolution has produced a new type of society, called the information society. Researchers of all persuasions emphasize the decisive role of information and knowledge in this society. Information has always played a significant role in social development, but only true information has contributed to social progress. The principal value of information is truth. Only true information allows human beings to comprehend objective reality and to make correct decisions. In the era of information conflicts and wars, information has become a powerful tool of manipulation and propaganda. If a society is not provided with true information and is unprepared to deal with the vast and ever-growing volume of information, it loses the ability to see and understand reality, finding itself instead in an illusory world.

In the report, an attempt is made to reveal the philosophy of the ecological ideas of the 20^th century musician Komitas Vardapet using the analytical and comparative method. In this work, the lectures, researches and articles given by him in France, Turkey, Russia and other countries served as research material. The study highlights the evolution of the research mind of a musician-spiritualist with a humanitarian worldview, who made the transition from the study of his native ethno-religious culture to the way of studying and developing the music of other regional ethno-religious communities and thus enriched the universal culture. In that context, the issues of ecological ideas, the study of the philosophy of healing music, and the organization of a harmonious dialogue between man and nature in the world over time are analyzed. From the presented point of view, Komitas Vardapet’s rich musical heritage has not been studied yet.

Diana AGHABALYAN — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Civil society, as an institutional form of public life, has undergone a complex transformation, conditioned by socio-political and cultural and technological factors. In modern world, civil society models are characterized not only by process of establishing democracy or reforms, but also by dynamics of newly emerging social interactions. Article attempts to analyze various models of civil society transformation from a socio-philosophical perspective, based on modern theories, global trends and value transformations. Special attention is paid to Western liberal, neoconservative, as well as postmodern models, generalizing their internal logic and possible applicability. The aim of the article is to reveal the deep causal chains of civil society transformation, considering it as a socio-philosophical phenomenon.

The Main Advantages and Disadvantages of Soft and Hard Security Policies

Bagrat BAGRATYAN — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The article highlights the main advantages and disadvantages of security policy as the philosophy of national security. It presents the philosophical basis of national security idea in the context of changing international relations in recent decades, largely driven by globalization, technological advancements, and the emergence of new threats. Ensuring national security, which is already a crucial component of modern foreign policy, is achieved through various practical measures. Among these, two opposing approaches stand out: soft security policy and hard security policy. These approaches play an important role in determining how states respond to threats and what kind of relationships they form with other countries. Soft security policy involves the use of diplomacy, economic, and cultural means to exert influence in the international arena. In contrast, hard security policy is traditionally associated with the use of force, sanctions, and the deployment of military resources to eliminate external threats. Both of these approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, making it essential to assess how they interact with each other and their place in contemporary international relations. The main aim of this article is to provide a fundamental comparative analysis of the two approaches by examining their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.

The Concept of Historical and Philosophical Research from the Point of View of the Application of Algo-Heuristic Methods

Razmik MNOYAN — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Over the centuries, historical and philosophical thought has developed various principles and methods for understanding the historical process, moving from objective-idealism and subjective-methodology to civilizationalism.

This article discusses the application of heuristic methods and algorithmic patterns in historical philosophy.

The aim of the article is to identify the advantages of the applicability of heuristic methods and algorithmic patterns, the use of which will contribute to conducting historical-philosophical research, also outlining the biases (or, in other words, flawed thinking) of heuristic methods, discussing and revealing the practical and theoretical consequences arising from them.

In historical philosophy, there are a number of still unexplored and unexplored problems, and when there is a need to divide them into a predetermined structure and sequence for the purpose of analysis, historical-philosophical algorithms are developed, that is, precise instructions. According to this theory, all cognitive and cognitive processes can be analyzed or divided into algorithmic, semi-algorithmic, heuristic or semi-heuristic content.

Heuristic methods and algorithmic patterns make it possible to best identify and compare the stages of development of the historical event under study, the changes that have occurred.
