The article reveals the peculiarities of the interpretation of ancient philosophy in two directions of Marxism – Soviet and Chinese. The author emphasizes the common and distinctive features of understanding philosophy in Soviet and Chinese philosophy. Proved that Soviet Marxism saw the most important stage in the formation and development of philosophy as a phenomenon of world culture in ancient philosophy. At the same time, Soviet thinkers tried to find the key points of ancient philosophy that would correlate with the main Marxist ideas. Also, based on the principles of Marxism, Soviet historians of philosophy analyzed and identified both common and commonplace moments in ancient Greek and ancient Chinese philosophy. It was revealed that Soviet and Chinese thinkers, first of all, try to find those moments in ancient philosophy that are directly or indirectly connected with Marxist philosophy – its principles, values, and ideas. At the same time, as part of the study of ancient philosophy, a whole corpus of translations from ancient Greek was carried out, although ancient Roman thinkers were less in demand for Soviet Marxism. Whereas, within the framework of Chinese Marxism, there is still a lot to be done in the context of the philosophical translation of the ancient heritage. However, argued thesis that to some extent, Chinese Marxism developed more intensively in the context of research of ancient philosophy. After all, in addition to purely ideological works devoted to the understanding of ancient philosophy, research began to develop actively in terms of comparative philosophy and classical reception studies.

This article is devoted to the consideration of the state of Muslim society on the border of adherence to the traditional system and the need to reform religious and socio-legal doctrines. Comparative philosophy as a branch of research, dealing with a comparative analysis of various philosophical traditions, cultures, and particular concepts of categorical apparatus helps to find out the differences and common principles of social being. Within philosophical comparative studies we can consider the peculiarities of the reforming process of Muslim society from ancient times to the nowadays. Turning to the example of Islamic culture, we see the complexity in not only the collision of cultures and the integration of Islamic traditions to the Western world, but also in internal processes that are determined by the necessity to preserve the traditions of culture and religion in the conditions of the strict need for reforming Islam. The globalization processes of the modern world make Muslim countries accept the reformist movement, which is a precondition for the progressive development of society. Understanding the concept of tradition considered by the Iranian thinker Nasr as an existential entity that crosses the history of all humanity, explains some of the points in the Muslim worldview. Tradition in the Islamic world is not only a tribute to the religious component, but also a trait of self-identification. Researchers at the West-East Dialogue do not give a clear guide and answer for reforming Islamic society, but it is worth noting that multiculturalism and globalization of the 21st century lead to gradual reforms and recognition of the Other to be included in the dialogue

Purpose of Article. The research is related to the study of the main components of the exhibition design and innovative technologies that are used in the organization of exhibition spaces. The purpose of this work is to determine the role of the design of exhibits in modern design and artistic activities. Methodology. Common scientific methods, namely analysis, and synthesis, induction and deduction, description, are used to study the exhibition design. The method of system-functional analysis helped to investigate this phenomenon in interconnection with other areas of design: architecture, interior design, graphic design, and environmental design. Interdisciplinary and comparative approaches have led to the unification of various concepts to identify the role of exhibition design in modern information and communicative space, namely art studies and aesthetics, social philosophy, and semiotics. Hermeneutical and phenomenological methods are basic for the research of exhibition design. Interdisciplinary and comparative approaches have led to the integration of different concepts to determine the place of exhibition design in the informational and communicative space of modern society. Hermeneutical and phenomenological methods became the leading examples of the exhibition design. The scientific novelty of the work consists of thorough research of the concept of ―exhibition design" and clarification of its role and functions in modern society. The examples presented show that the exhibition exposition visualizes and demonstrates the economic and cultural achievements of one or more countries. Conclusions. The implementation of the interdisciplinary approach to the design of the exhibition gives the opportunity to transmit information at several levels. Exhibition design is a synthesis of all kinds of design architectural, environmental, industrial, landscape, graphic. Thanks to the design, the exhibition integrates into the design of interiors and the architecture of the environment, and it becomes a way of promoting consumer goods and artistic works.
