Abstract:
The article focuses on the manifestation of risk at the present stage, in the period of cardinal social changes, when there is a gap between time and generations, a change in traditional ways of life and the formation of qualitatively new ways and models of life. Taking into account the modern transformations, the article considers the problem of the art of living in a society of risk. The attention is drawn to the fact that the main task of the philosophy of the art of living is not the setting of rules, but the formation of proposals for the discovery of new opportunities and prospects. The concept of life-creation is substantiated as a special, highest form of manifestation of the creative nature of man. The idea of life-creation is shown as the creation of a new being, a new onto-anthropological reality, and in it a new person. Attention is drawn to the understanding of life-creation as an active process of a person's creation of himself and the construction of his life, as well as the meaning of life-creation as a special form of manifestation of the creative nature of a person. The problems of lifecreation forming are considered in the article, and especially in modern time. The leisure culture role in this process is shown. The attention is paid to the creative and upbringing role of a serious leisure in the individual’s formation.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the discussion of one of the key problems of civilizational discourse: are social modernizations and revolutions factors of civilizational dynamics? The great Fernand Braudel answered this question in the negative. In his opinion, even socio-economic and political upheavals and cataclysms, the change of ruling classes do not fundamentally change the nature of the ongoing development of the "country-civilization", immersed in a"long duration". But Sh. Eisenstadt proved the opposite. In his legacy, "modernization" and "revolution" are considered as immanent characteristics of civilizational development, significant factors in the evolution of civilizational states. In this context, he put forward and justified the hypothesis that it is unproductive to understand modernization only as modernity – a Western European type of socio-economic and political development. But this innovation of Eisenstadt for a number of reasons was underestimated in the civilizational discourse of the 20th century. And in particular – in the works of S. Huntington. It did not contain any theoretical innovations in the field of comparative study of civilizations, but was an attempt to revive the Western-centric scheme of world dynamics, to translate the Cold War model to the problems of the history of civilizations.

Abstract:
The content of two non-classical conceptions of the nature of scientific truth is reconstructed: conventionalist and consensual. According to conventionalism, the decision on the truth of any unit of scientific knowledge is made by an individual scientist on the basis of conventions. In the consensual concept, such a decision is possible only as a result of a scientific consensus within the disciplinary community. It is shown that consensualism is, on the one hand, a generalization of conventionalism, and, on the other, its negation. They differ in the interpretation of both the subject of scientific knowledge and the mechanism of its legitimization of scientific knowledge as truth. Whereas in conventionalism the main subject of scientific knowledge is considered to be an individual scientist, in the consensual conception it is the disciplinary scientific community. Whereas in conventionalism scientific knowledge has an individual psychological nature, in the consensual concept it has a social nature.
