Religious security of the Russian Federation as a reflection object of Philosophy and Religious Studies

Abstract

The article is devoted to the philosophical aspects of the discourse on religious security on the territory of the Russian Federation, where religious organizations are recognized as one of the possible threats to modern society. The authors of the article prove that the specificity of threats on the part of religious organizations should be that their motive is to be a doctrine. The article justifies the fact that the commission of unlawful actions by a religious organization is most often justified not by dogma, but by material, secular motives. This leads to the fact that this activity is evaluated in accordance with the degree of harm caused as an extremist one. The novelty of the study is that the authors draw attention to the fact that there are religious associations that are recognized as dangerous, despite the fact that they do not carry out unlawful actions. The degree of danger they represent is determined on the basis of the content of religious texts that are recognized as dangerous if it can be proved that the potential threat contained in them can acquire a real character. The result of the article is the proof that the task of secular religious studies and social philosophy should not be efforts aimed at banning religious organizations that represent not a real threat, but only a potential danger, since the main thing in which these sciences are interested is the development of the theory of social adaptation of religion.

Urban Space As A Space Of Coexistence And Interaction Of Religious Cultures

“…The religious aspects of the development of urban space are the subject of philosophy and metaphysics of the city, sacred geography and sacred topography, history of culture and urban planning, etc. The religious study of urban space as a space where religious cultures interact can unite efforts and achievements of these studies (Zhukov & Bernyukevich, 2018). The results can be the determination of the world outlook for the development of the religious space of the city; the identification of the ontological status of religious buildings and their place in the cultural and territorial organization of the city; the identification of the role of religious buildings as special symbolic cultural markers that determine characteristics of an urban space.…”

Концептуализация Зарубежного Исследовательского Дискурса О Проблемах Социальной Безопасности В Российско-Китайском Приграничье

“…Идеи о том, что современное взаимодействия между Россией и Китаем нацелено на пользу Китаю, становящемуся новой глобальной силой, развиваются Б. Ло [22], М. Фрейре [16], С. Арисом [11], Т. Гомаром [18], Г. Розманом [27], Э. Вишник [29], которые пишут об оттеснении России на периферию регионального взаимодействия. Поэтому современная концепция западных авторов в отношении проблем региона российско-китайского приграничья трансформируется в сторону признания самостоятельности этого регионального пространства, и зависимости его не столько от трендов глобалистики, сколько от влияния восточно-азиатских игроков, ведущим среди которых является Китай [30]. В частности, эту проблему анализирует Т.Д.…”

Problematization of religious threats in the modern social discourse of Western countries and Russia

“…Other religious associations defended their positions, including the Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Society for Krishna Consciousness, Unification Church of San Men Mun, and others, who held academic conferences and engaged in public debates, proving their right to the independent practice of their religious doctrine. Numerous lawsuits have been filed against the ideologues of the anti-cult movement and this has led to a large number of judicial proceedings involving representatives of the anti-cult movement and non-traditional religions (ZHUKOV & BERNYIKEVICH, 2018).…”
