The purpose of the article is to study the content of the concept of cultural creativity as an integral component of the event industry development. Research methodology. To achieve the research purpose, a systemic and cultural approach, methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, comparison, and functional were applied, which allowed a comprehensive analysis of the concept of culture creation in the context of the dynamics of modern event industries. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the theoretical generalisation of the concept of culture creation in the development of the modern event industry as a sphere of creative economy and cultural practice from the perspective of the cultural approach. Conclusions. The development of the economy in the post-industrial information society and the dynamics of modern mass culture, combined with the latest cultural practices, have led to the formation of a creative environment in various spheres of human activity, where the factor of cultural creation plays a significant role as a generator of innovativeness in professional activity. As of today, the sphere of culture and art, which generates value content capable of influencing the spiritual component of society, and the sphere of economy and business, which represents the efficient production of goods and services aimed at meeting various needs of society, are in active interaction, where the economy has transformed into a "creative economy", ("economy of impressions"), in which creativity is the key resource. At the present stage, the event industry acts as a tool for the formation of social relations not only through symbolic involvement, but also creates certain forms of social relations between participants, activating the collective consciousness through the manifestations of feelings of belonging and interconnection with different social groups, and society as a whole.

The article highlights issues related to the development of cultural globalization and cosmopolitan trends in world development. Aspects of cosmopolitan influence on the cultural foundations of the development of modern states are determined. Contradictions and perspectives of the formation of cosmopolitanism as a phenomenon as a whole are considered. The possibilities of cultural globalization and the further development of cosmopolitanism and its influence on the further development of nation-states are determined. The work establishes that ethno-cultural national identity can be preserved in the conditions of the development of cosmopolitanism. In general, cosmopolitanism leads to the formation of new forms of identities inherent in post-industrial society, which are not yet sufficiently defined in our time, and need to be clarified in further scientific research. Modern cultural transformations form a prospective research interest in the issue of the formation of cosmopolitan culture. The purpose of this work is to identify modern manifestations of cosmopolitanism and consider possible solutions to the issue of preserving ethno-cultural national identity in the context of the development of cultural globalization. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work is the general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the principle of alternativeness, sociocultural and civilizational approaches.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the views of N. Machiavelli and E. de La Boesi on the problem of freedom and power. The author states that the coverage of this issue in the framework of Ukrainian historiography is insufficient. The author states, using the example of the analysis of Chapter XVIII of «The Prince», the differences between the two thinkers. The concept of the presented article is that it was E. de La Boesie, from the point of view of the authors, who was able to inflict the most significant intellectual defeat on N. Machiavelli, without directly referring to the author of «The Prince». In order to understand the level of disagreement between N. Machiavelli and E. de La Boesie, E. de La Boesie’s views on human nature, as well as the issue of alienation in post-industrial society, are also considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research, information technologies are considered as an integral part of everyday human life, which cannot be isolated from the general worldview and cultural context. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of technological innovations through the prism of worldview changes. It is noted that these changes are most adequately reflected in postmodern philosophy, the task of which consists not only in the deconstruction of the main categories of previous European philosophical thought, but also in the formation of basic worldview principles that correlate with the type of worldview that spreads in the information society.
