Abstract:
The article deals with the attempts to overcome classical dynamical theory in life's philosophy. It is shown how Anri Bergson attempts to establish saint time in interior sense of the human being and thus avoid understanding of time considered as a natural science. Wilhelm Dilthey even go so far and in «the first cell in the flow of life» he enters three maduses in one entity. But the theories of both representatives are subjective and do not tell us about real-time independent from the awareness.

Abstract:
The concept of regime of truth clearly refers to the well-known circularity Foucault establishes between power and knowledge: we should speak of a ‘regime’ of truth because truth is produced, sustained, valorized and regulated by a series of mechanisms, techniques and procedures that are ‘political’ if we understand this term the way Foucault does: politics has to do not only with institutions, but with the complex and constitutive field of power relations within which we ordinarily live, and at the same time truth itself reinforces and induces effects of power. A regime of truth is thus the strategic field within which truth is produced and becomes a tactical element in the functioning of a certain number of power relations. The idea that truth gives us no choice, that truth necessarily forces us to accept it and build up our conduct in accordance to it, is an extremely dangerous ethico-political trap that Foucault can help us to unmask and overcome. The present paper discusses the various dimensions of truth and power as narrated by Foucault.

Abstract:
Environmental knowledge was the basis for the development of the concept of sustainable development of society, claiming the status of a modern theory of historical process. To achieve sustainable development one has to change the culture purposefully. In this regard, under the culture one means not only the totality of material and spiritual values created by people, but also its contribution to the preservation and further development of society. The world community is confronted with the challenge to perform socialization of an individual, to develop education on the basis of cultural values introduced by the sustainable development.

Abstract:
The time flows irrespective of our desire. But the statement that we don’t dominate the tine is wrong. Actually, society incurs measurement of time, schedules the life. The church bell, the striking of city tower clock, the factory whistle install the social order. Today, every adult has watch, but it does not mean that people are masters of their time. It is still organized by a society as a daily order of life, thus perceived as natural. A priori the structure of time is not limited to the schedule, it defines the order of the present perception, as well as imagination and memory. The above actualizes the consideration of time in anthropological prospect.

Abstract:
The article briefly describes the history of existentialism development in Japan on a staged basis, notes that the ideas of existentialism in Japan developed in the fertile ground of the originating Japanese idealism (Nisida Kitaro). Although existentialism has changed, it preserved its nature, and, having integrated into the local idealistic trends, produced new diverse concepts. It resulted in the so-called ‘classic Japanese idealism’, established by Nisida Kitaro, Tanabe Hadzime and their followers. The existentialism was the basis of the innovative scientific ideas and concepts, created by the Japanese philosophers of Kioto school. Using European philosophic ideas and additionally referring to the traditional Japanese worldview, they promoted the development of the innovative and distinctive philosophic state of mind.
