Abstract:
Introduction. The study of the civilizational development stages of Russia is relevant due to the increasing role of the civilization factor in the modern multi-civilization world. The analysis of the scientific literature on the civilizational development of Russia shows that views on the nature of Russian civilization are pluralistic. The aim of the work is to analyze the historical stages of the civilizational development of Russia. The main tasks include the analysis of the Orthodox, Soviet and modern Russian civilization, their role in the multi-civilization world. Materials and Methods. The theoretical civilization model of S. Huntington is used as a theoretical and methodological basis for the analysis of the Russian civilization. To identify the stages of formation of the Russian civilization, historical, comparative, institutional and structural-functional methods were used. Results. From the point of view of its civilization development, Russia has gone through three stages: the formation of an Orthodox civilization, Soviet and Modern. Orthodox civilization was the core of a multi-ethnic and multi-religious cultural community of the Russian Empire. Its unique qualities did not predetermine confrontation and hostility towards the states of other civilizations. The Soviet civilization was formed as a result of state policy on the basis of communist ideology. It was in confrontation with the capitalist states of other (primarily Western) civilizations. The modern civilization of Russia is formed on the basis of the historical cultures of the peoples of Russia and the institutions of a democratic state of law. Its characteristic features create the possibility of cooperation with other civilizations of the modern world. Discussion and Conclusions. The civilizational development of Russia includes three stages, within which three different civilizations were formed: Orthodox, Soviet and Modern. Throughout its history, Russia has interacted with its surrounding countries and carried out a cultural and civilizational exchange with them. In most cases, this exchange was peaceful and mutually beneficial.

Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation is to define the central contents and issues of the impact of informing systems on the rise and development of Virtual Civilization. The methodology is based on an interdisciplinary big-picture view of the Virtual Civilization’s elements of development and their interdependency. Among the findings are: Virtual Civilization has infrastructural characteristics, a world-wide unlimited, socially constructed work and leisure space in cyberspace, and it can last centuries/millennia - as long as informing systems are operational. Practical implications: The mission of Virtual Civilization is to control the public policy of real civilizations in order to secure the common good in real societies. Social implication: The quest for the common good by virtual society may limit or even replace representative democracy by direct democracy which, while positively solving some problems, may eventually trigger permanent political chaos in real civilizations. Originality: This investigation, by providing an interdisciplinary and civilizational approach at the big-picture level defined the ethics question of the role of informing systems in the development of Virtual Civilization.

Abstract:
The article deals with the problems of intercivilizational borrowings in the historical works of A. Toynbee and F. Braudel. The author pays particular attention to the theoretical and methodological basis of A. Toynbee and F. Braudel's understanding of intercivilizational borrowings as a historical phenomenon. There are substantiated that the intercivilizational borrowing in Toynbee and Braudel's works does not have the status of an independent historical process but is included in the broader processes between civilizational relations and the development of civilization. The article analyzes the approaches to intercivilizational borrowing as elements of intercivilizational relations. The paper says that A. Toynbee and F. Braudel considered intercivilizational borrowings as essential factors of world-historical development. Each civilization has a unique ability to accept material and spiritual values from the outside. F. Braudel emphasized the permanence of this process. A. Toynbee linked the civilization borrowings process with the stages of civilization development and civilization's response to external challenges. Thus, both historians believed in the possibility of civilizational diffusion. In the historical concepts of A. Toynbee and F. Braudel, the problem of intercivilizational borrowings was dissolved, among other problems of interaction between civilizations. The author also emphasizes that the intercivilizational borrowing process is still ongoing in the modern world. And this actualizes the methodology issue for studying this phenomenon and pays attention to the lessons of the past related to the civilizational diffusion processes. The problem of the development of civilizations in a single global world and the possibility of erasing cultural, social, and economic barriers between civilizations continue to be a topic of debate today. It is concluded that the identity of civilizations will remain in the future. However, intercivilizational borrowings are mass and appear as cultural complexes borrowings, which will be continued in the coming years.

Abstract:
AbstractThe number of people able to end Earth's technical civilization has heretofore been small. Emerging dual-use technologies, such as biotechnology, may give similar power to thousands or millions of individuals. To quantitatively investigate the ramifications of such a marked shift on the survival of both terrestrial and extraterrestrial technical civilizations, this paper presents a two-parameter model for civilizational lifespans, i.e. the quantity L in Drake's equation for the number of communicating extraterrestrial civilizations. One parameter characterizes the population lethality of a civilization's biotechnology and the other characterizes the civilization's psychosociology. L is demonstrated to be less than the inverse of the product of these two parameters. Using empiric data from PubMed to inform the biotechnology parameter, the model predicts human civilization's median survival time as decades to centuries, even with optimistic psychosociological parameter values, thereby positioning biotechnology as a proximate threat to human civilization. For an ensemble of civilizations having some median calculated survival time, the model predicts that, after 80 times that duration, only one in 1024 civilizations will survive – a tempo and degree of winnowing compatible with Hanson's ‘Great Filter.’ Thus, assuming that civilizations universally develop advanced biotechnology, before they become vigorous interstellar colonizers, the model provides a resolution to the Fermi paradox.

Abstract:
Civilizations are not a novel subject of research.Todaytheyareincreasinglypopularbothinaca demicandpoliticalspheres.State and non-state actors talk as if civilizations were real actors of world politics. The article outlines the intellectual map of civilizational research in world politics. It finds three actual and one possible directions of civilizational research, namely: civilizational dynamic, inter civilizational ethics, politics of civilizations and civilizational politics. The author stresses the importance of nonessentialist approach in civilizational dynamics studies, its leader being Peter Katzenstein. The rest of the article is devoted to cultivating the selected research direction. The author proposes to view civilizations as a strategic reference framework rather than a real actor of world politics. These reference frameworks are constructed on religious value basis and detailed in a shared literature corpus. They are heterogeneous and in a constant state of flux. It can be viewed as a continuum with one pole being a fundamentalist state of civilization and the opposite one - post secular state of civilization. The middle ground is occupied by secular civilization. The clash and dialogue are not among civilizations but rather among different states or social groups within and among civilizations. The most conflictual group is a fundamentalist one, its reference framework is totally determined by religious values. Compromise for such a group is impossible. The most cooperative group is post secular one since it is based on dialogue. The author concludes that dialogue is guaranteed among post secular societies within the Christian civilization. Within and among non-Christian civilizations dialogue is possible but not guaranteed.

Abstract:
Abstract“Civilization” is back at the forefront of global policy debates. The leaders of rising powers such as China, India, Turkey, and Russia have stressed their civilizational identity in framing their domestic and foreign policy platforms. An emphasis on civilizational identity is also evident in U.S. president Donald Trump's domestic and foreign policy. Some analysts argue that the twenty-first century might belong to the civilization state, just as the past few centuries were dominated by the nation-state. But is the rise of civilization state inevitable? Will it further undermine the liberal international order and fuel a clash of civilizations, as predicted by the late Samuel Huntington? Or might ideas from East Asian and other non-Western civilizations contribute to greater pluralism in our thinking about world order and the study of international relations?

Abstract:
This article aims to consider the history of Crimea from the perspective of the civilizational dimension of the world and Russian historical process. The special role of the Crimean peninsula as a special intercivilizational buffer is indicated. It determines a special paradigm of relations. Using Crimea as an example, the article reveals a special phenomenon of the «war of civilizations» with their illustration in the history of Russia. The Crimean War is considered as a direct example of the clash of civilization. The cognitive potentials of rethinking the Crimean War as a civilizational conflict are given. It is stressed that the Russian civilization opposed the civilizations of Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Finally it is em-phasised that the applied methodology allows to revise a number of historiographic and discursive stereotypes and myths of public consciousness that have developed in relation to the Crimean War. The special civilization-forming axial significance of Crimea for the civilizational history of Russia is shown.

Abstract:
The author of the paper insists on the need to highlight two complementary aspects in understanding the nature of civilization. In one case, civilization is a historical era, and in the other, it is the civilizational development of individual local states or societies (local civilizations). The paper reveals the thematic field of research on civilizational issues from the perspective of socio-philosophical knowledge (including its philosophical and historical component). It is noted that the uncertainty and vagueness of the concept of civilization is largely due to the fact that its philosophical status has not yet been identified, since the concept is considered, as a rule, without connection with the system of socio-philosophical categories. An important theoretical issue is the question of civilizational self-awareness of society. i.e. awareness of oneself as a civilization. Further, the paper talks about the theoretical and practical significance of studying the level of development of local civilizations during the transition from an independent type of development to a dependent type of development. Much attention is paid in the paper to the analysis of the dependent and backward type of historical development of non-Western civilizations, which lasted during the five-century cycle of world history. The last section of the paper discusses a complex and not fully clarified question, which was posed by S. Fourier in all detail. Does civilization as a historical era have a time frame of existence or is this era forever? Today’s change in the vector of world development, the rejection of unipolarity allows the author to raise the question of the transition of humanity from the era of civilization to a new era, to the New modernity, when the further development of human society will take place according to the laws of culture.

Abstract:
The contradictions between the various paradigms of civilization and the related problems of world globalization, as well as the interaction of civilizations are the subject of many sciences. Globalization is interpreted as the interaction of civilizations. Thus, civilization becomes one of the main categories in the process of explaining and understanding the world. Today there is no generally accepted definition of the term “civilization” - it is defined and interpreted differently. Sometimes it is used as a synonym for the term “culture”. Civilization can also refer to society as a whole. The “embryos” of the civilizational-stadial approach to the historical development appeared in the eighteenth century, when the concept of civilization was introduced into scientific circulation; and the representatives of this approach grounded their ideas on the unity of the world history. According to the stadial approach to the development of society, the historical process is characterized by progressiveness and gradual development. This approach is based on the linear time model. The paper aims to investigate such phenomena as “civilization” and “stadial universalism”.

Abstract:
Some years ago I stumbled upon and straight into the bliss of the tropical paradise when setting foot in a Tiki bar for the first time. The story behind this enchanting pop cultural institution unfolded a history built upon colonial power, cultural appropriation and hegemonies. This paper investigates the western construction of the tropical paradise and the power relations that it is built upon. The work revolves around processing my own attraction towards the tropical paradise and adressing how eurocentric narratives have been depicting Oceanic cultures, people and environments in Western popular culture. I approach this attraction by both researching the colonial history of Europeans presence in Oceania and how those events intertwine with our ideas of the paradise on earth today, as well as making objects, scenes and performances that alludes to the topic. At the end of this phase of the project, the colonial gaze that constructed the tropical paradise is turned towards the West itself in the making of the installation Civilization Bar.

Abstract:
Civilized culture is killing the planet. At present, we are facing the largest extinction event in 65 million years and the cause, according to most scholars, is "patently" human. My question, however, is not whether the mass destruction of the biosphere is the result of an unfortunate and misguided particularity within civilization (e.g., over consumption, driving too much, etc.), but rather: Is it the case that civilization, by its very nature, entails the destruction of the natural world and of both human and non-human communities? In the vein of a fairly recent movement in scholarship, my answer is a resounding "yes." Taking a cue from one of the foremost voices of this recent movement, Derrick Jensen, I'll briefly trace the genesis and justification of the following premise: "Civilization is not and can never be sustainable," as well as the philosophical fallout of what this may mean for us today. Employing the thought and method of certain strands of phenomenology, I first examine how it is that civilization appears in our collective everydayness and how certain movements within this appearance give way to its replication, continuation, and (largely) unquestioned legitimacy. From there, I move to incorporate the insight of Theodor Adorno and other critical theorists, uncovering the finer ideological strands that tie us to civilization. From the arguments outlined by Jensen, John Zerzan, and others, I make a case for the active rejection and dismantling of civilization, ultimately attempting to articulate a philosophically based strategy of resistance.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis analyzes the Ottoman travellers&rsquo
perception of &ldquo
the East&rdquo
in the late Ottoman Empire. In doing that, it links the Ottoman intellectual debates on the concept of civilization to their perceptions on the non-European lands and peoples. It mainly argues that the Ottoman intellectuals&rsquo
attempt to create a synthesis between the material elements of Western civilization and their own morality resulted in a perception of the East different from the Western perceptions. While the Western perceptions envisage a monolithic, unchanging and static East, the Ottoman perceptions vary in accordance with the temporal and spatial setting as well as with the intellectual inclinations of the travellers. Hence, this thesis contributes to the literature by fulfilling the gap about the Ottoman perceptions of the concepts of civilization and the East, by questioning the limits of existing literature on the Ottoman perception of the East which defines it as Orientalist/colonialist, by attracting attention to the use of Ottoman travel literature in understanding the Ottoman identity and their perception of the world, and, finally, by underlining the importance of the Ottoman perceptions of civilization and the East in understanding the historical roots of the &ldquo
identity question&rdquo
in Turkey.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between author, text and user-generated modifications in the context of the computer game Civilization 4. These relationships are studied in part by analyzing how the game mechanics have been modified, and in part through analyzing the communication taking place between players of Civilization 4 in the CivFanatics online forums. The study concludes that fans as creators are increasingly leaning on each other and their self-produced accumulated body of knowledge in the generation of new and further changes to the narrative universe, and that the original creators of the game have all but faded from view. This suggests that fan creativity is not situated against or directed at particular authors (original or otherwise), but a community effort quite independent from original intent.

Abstract:
Kollapsen av den klassiska Mayakulturen under sen 700- till sen 900-tal e.Kr. har förbluffat forskare ända sedan studier av Mayakulturen påbörjades på 1840-talet. Både arkeologer och antropologer som epigrafiker eller klimatforskare har arbetat med att lösa gåtan av hur ett kulturellt vidsträckt samhälle kunde kollapsa utan någon klar förklaring. Civilisationen som än idag talar till oss genom sina kolossala pyramider och tempel, inskriptioner och den vetenskapliga kunskapen som ansetts outförbara utan moderna instrument. Dock har inte kollapsen varit ett direkt fokus i Mayastudier sedan forskningen påbörjades. Det var inte förrän på 1960-talet som systematiska undersökningar utfördes för att hitta rimliga teorier till kollapsen. Ända sedan dess har hypoteser och teorier haglat in och forskarna idag hittar sig själva i en sjö av oförklarlig information. Kunskapen av Mayakulturen är enorm men det har inte hjälpt att hitta någon bestämd teori om kollapsen av klassiska Maya. Det finns forskare som fokuserar på stora katastrofala händelser såsom drastiska klimatförändringar, sjukdomar eller jordbävningar så svåra att återhämtning var omöjligt. Sedan finns den andra skaran av forskare som förkastar enskilda händelser och fokuserar mer på mångfaldiga katastrofer som kunnat utlösa ödesdigra mönster i samhället som till slut utmynnat i en kollaps. Trots oklarheter kring kollapsen har framsteg gjorts inom fältet. Många teorier har mycket tack vare avancerade metoder kunnat förkastas medan andra blivit mer debatterade. Vad som än Mayakulturen kan berätta för oss, står ändå kollapsen som den stora nöten att knäcka och ju längre forskningen av ämnet fortgår desto närmare kommer även forskare till svaret. Frågor dyker dock fortfarande upp om det är möjligt att lösa en av arkeologins stora gåtor.

Full text
Abstract:
Seizing Civilization uses the Shanghai Museum as a case study to examine an extraordinary process of art appropriation that persisted from 1949 to 1996 in the People's Republic of China (PRC). At the heart of this story is the museum's destruction of the preexisting art market, its wholesale seizure of privately-owned antiquities, and its sale of these objects on the international market. My findings show that museum employees used these events to create public art collections in the PRC. The Shanghai Museum pioneered the techniques that Chinese museums use to transform craft objects, as well as select ancient paintings, ceramics, and bronzes, into canonized cultural relics. I argue that the application of these techniques explains the erasure of provenance at Chinese Museums, and demonstrate how state cultural institutions render acquisition ledgers, private collecting records, and connoisseurship disputes invisible. I examine cultural relics' transformation into Chinese cultural heritage in five chapters. I first demonstrate how museum employees appropriated private collections during nation-building campaigns such as the nationalization of industries (1956). Second, I investigate changes to the Chinese art historical canon, placing them in the context of art market takeovers, the wholesale acquisition of ethnic minority artifacts, as well as municipal programs in salvage archaeology. Then, in two chapters, I reveal the Shanghai Museum's active participation in antiquities confiscation and divestment during the Cultural Revolution (1966 – 1976), which enriched public art collections on a previously unprecedented scale. I conclude with an examination of the mass restitution of expropriated property in the 1980s and 90s, which underpinned the museum’s dual function as both a preservationist institution, as well as a political and commercial enterprise. The antiquities and events I analyze not only explain the ascendency of a dominant narrative about Chinese civilization, but also reveal the limits, contradictions, and challenges of PRC national patrimony.

Abstract:
The paper deals with analysis of concept of history of nomadic civilization in the steppes of Mongolia, appeared in the essays by prominent Japanese novelist Shiba Ryotaro. This approach made great impact towards the popular view of Asian and Eurasian history among Japanese readers. The author aims to identify, analyze and present main ideas of Shiba’s concept of history of nomadic civilization in Mongolia and Great Steppe. Sources for analysis of these ideas are two essays and travel notes by novelist, Mongolian Travel Notes (1974) and Steppe Notes (1992). The article shows ties between civilizational approach of A. Toynbee and concept by Shiba Ryotaro in relation to nomadic civilizations and demonstrates essential features of its development. Texts by Shiba Ryotaro present a new understanding of nature of Asia within the Japanese social and historical thought in the post-war period.

Abstract:
Urban farming (UF) is emerging in the urban areas of the modern world due to food scarcity in urban areas. Urban agriculture is enjoying a resurgence in popularity that began decades ago. It's now widely acknowledged and accepted as a means of gaining several environmental, economic, and social advantages. However, the cradle of urban farming is from our ancestral civilization. Hence, documenting different urban farming techniques used by our ancestors is very important. Consequently, this study is launched to study how our ancestors used urban farming to feed their ever-growing urban population. To structure the database, the UF-related words and keywords are divided into five categories. After that, using different keyword combinations for both ‘history’ and UF the online databases Scopus, ScienceDirect and ISI Web of Science (WoS) were searched. The samples presented here demonstrate the diversity of landscapes found in the Mayan Civilizations. Spatial variances in the underlying environment, various environmental changes, and civilizations' adaptability across time all contributed to this heterogeneity. Whether this civilization chose to focus on agriculture in wetlands or dry uplands, how they dealt with the annual problem of the dry season and water availability, and how diverse and nutritious soils were across the broader landscape all showcase the adaptive strategies used by the civilization to suit the different environmental conditions. Techniques like Raised bed farming in Mayan Civilization, are great examples of their adaptability to the climatic changes using creative solutions. All these civilizations flourished for centuries before their collapse. As a framework for addressing community cohesiveness and food access, Urban farming is entering a new phase. Urban agriculture has the potential to help people adapt to climate change. Mitigation and adaptation will be aided by avoiding reliance on fragile transportation connections, experimenting with seasonality and crop selection, and developing community bonds. When new challenges develop, urban agriculture will be there to meet them, and it will continue to evolve as it reacts to key issues that shape our cities. And to aid this process a comprehensive look at the ancient world’s agro-urban civilizations would be very beneficial. Keywords: Urban Agricultural History, Urban Farming History, Mayan Civilizations

Full text
Abstract:
Socio-economic transformations can be understood more clearly in the history of the broad period. Accordingly, we can speak of the rise and fall of civilizations. Numerous civilizations have formed in the world and many have disappeared. In this respect, the 21st century also undergoes important civilization transformations. In this century of technological change, the computer algorithm has reached a position that exceeds human intelligence for the first time. It is a serious danger for mankind that the control of political, social sovereignty are subject to a limited elite control, as well as significant differences in development between countries that have it and those who do not. It is envisaged that many areas of human endeavor will not be needed due to artificial intelligence tools and this will create a serious unemployment problem. This means that the freedoms of the individual and the individual will become insignificant. Therefore, there is a need for global co-operation that protects freedoms and regulates ethical norms in the 21st century. In particular, the proliferation of interdisciplinary studies is important, as social science studies tend to focus more on this field. So, in the future, either liberal freedoms will live or the dominance of computer algorithms called "dataism" will lead to a new "slavery" system. Within this context, it is hoped that Turkish Islamic civilization can create an alternative. This is because; in the past of this civilization there is an ideology that glorifies mankind. Especially with the leadership of Turkey it is possible to release this civilization from "twilight". The presentation includes titles for the breakthroughs to be made in this area.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to a discussion of the features of expert research into prototypes (models) of civilizational changes in Russian society. Based on the identified criteria, a list of five models of civilizational development of modern societies is proposed: nation-oriented, state-civilization (etacratic), confession-oriented, globalist, cosmopolitan. Expert measurement of models of civilizational development of Russian society provides tools for their goal setting, design, planning and monitoring at various levels.

Full text
Abstract:
This article addresses an issue of growing political importance: the global rise of civilizational populism. From Western Europe to India and Pakistan, and from Indonesia to the Americas, populists are increasingly linking national belonging with civilizational identity—and at times to the belief that the world is divided into religion-based civilizations, some of which are doomed to clash with one another. As part of this process, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity have all been commandeered by populist parties and movements, each adept at using the power of religion—in different ways and drawing on different aspects of religion—to define the boundary of concepts such as people, nation, and civilization.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines civilizational populism in Israel and focuses on the largest and most powerful party in Israel since the 1980s, National Liberal Movement (Likud), and its most significant leader of the past twenty years, the populist politician Benjamin Netanyahu. We show how Netanyahu incorporates ‘civilizationism’ into his populist discourses by, first, using the notion that Jewish civilization predates all others in the region to establish the legitimacy of the state of Israel, the hegemony of Jewish culture within Israel, and at times his own political decisions. Second, through his portrayal of the Arab-Muslim world as an antisemitic and barbaric bloc that, far from being a civilization, threatens Western civilization through its barbarism. Equally, this paper shows how Netanyahu argues that Israel is akin to protective wall that protects Western Civilization from the Islamist barbarians who wish to destroy it, and therefore on this basis calls for Europeans and North Americans to support Israel in its battle for civilization and against “the forces of barbarism.”

Full text
Abstract:
This article explores how China’s rise as a ‘civilization state’ encourages some European states to challenge US political dominance. While countries like Russia and Turkey have also employed civilizational populist rhetoric in domestic and foreign policy issues, this article focuses on Xi Jinping’s recent visits to France, Hungary, and Serbia and examines how European leaders like Emmanuel Macron, Viktor Orbán, and Aleksandar Vučić find inspiration in China’s civilizational model. Further research is needed on the growing civilizational competition between these states and the West, particularly in Africa, where China, Russia, and Turkey project all variants (soft, smart, sharp and hard) of power to assert influence and challenge Western dominance in international relations and global politics.
