This article proposes that South Africa, as multi-lingual country, has unique potential and that this potential is not to be found in some or other essence of what it means to be African, but in the daily struggles, frustrations and possibilities of life in a fragmented and divided multi-lingual society. In this fragmented and ‘impossible’ society there are moments (maybe rare moments) of true understanding, communication, reconciliation and forgiveness and these moments I call ‘Advents of a Rainbow Nation’. Although these Advents can be understood (made reasonable) via the transversal reasoning of Welsch and Schrag, this article would like to propose an alternative: to wonder-off in a different non-direction namely into the u-topic and u-chronic clearing of non-philosophy. Reason cannot receive the Advent as gift (given without givenness) and thus transforms the Advent into a philosophical event of thought. In the process of seeking to understand these Advents as events, the Advents are transformed by a Decision or cut of transversal reasoning, and so the Advents themselves are lost. Therefore, what is sought in this article is not an understanding (reason) of this Advent, but rather a wandering in and a wondering at the grace and faith of this Advent. This grace and faith is the greatest epistemological asset South Africa, as multi-lingual country, can offer a plural global world as it opens a space for non-philosophical thinking: thus thinking science, religion, art, literature together in a vision-in-One with theology safe-guarding this vision-in-One unifacially facing the future. The question is, can South Africans embrace the multiplicity of the Advent of the Rainbow Nation? Can the Church with her Christ narrative sojourn with South Africa towards a rainbow nation and thereby facilitate a noological space for multiple connective intellection, or is she an obstacle towards developing this potential?

The article studies modern problems of the development of democracy. The reasons for rejection of Euro-American democratic principles in the world and future scenarios for the development ofdemocracy in the context of world development are analyzed. The prospects for global democratization are greatly complicated by the current transformation of the structure of international relations and the asymmetry of its processes in various regions of the world. It is revealed that from the theoretical standpoint different “scenarios of the future of democracy” are possible: fundamentally new phases of the democratic process in some regions and its stagnation in others; interweaving and mutual enrichment of its various vectors. The key factors that will in the future determine the stability and spread of democracy are economic development and political management. The trends and prospects of the future of Ukrainian democracy in the global world are also examined.

This article is a continuation of a large-scale research devoted to the identification of patterns of human community development, which has been conducted by the author for many decades.Purpose: is to study the possible transformation of the world after the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of the need to switch to a new, crisis-free development paradigm, which is a logical continuation of the previous author's works.Methods: the study is based on the application of a complex of general scientific methods, including analysis, generalization, comparison, etc., and is based on an interdisciplinary approach. The results and conclusions of the work are based on the use of the author's methodological tools, which were formed within the framework of the general research direction.Results: the article analyzes the current state of the global world in the absence of effective ways out of the deepest crisis that has long gripped almost the entire world and has been multiplied by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study of the fundamental works of foreign scientists has shown that their main thesis is that the future of the world lies in the transition to a new development paradigm (NDP), but to fully understand it, it is necessary to develop a new scientific paradigm (NSP). Based on the use of the author's development of the NSP, it is demonstrated that the future of the world depends on the choice of a development model. The author has proved the necessity and possibility of transition to a new development paradigm based on the synchronous development and implementation of a single development strategy for the global world and each country separately.Conclusions and Relevance: after the COVID-19 pandemic, the world will change only if there is a transition to a new crisis-free paradigm for the development of the human system. The NSP developed by the author can become the tool that allows you to give a complete understanding of the NDP, and see what the world can and should be like after the coronavirus pandemic.

Ingress: Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i en kvalitativ studie blant ungdom i alderen 15-19 år i Groruddalen. Datamaterialet viser at de unge vurderer religion som et av skolens viktigste fag. De formidler at religionsfaget bidrar med kunnskap som er viktig for å forstå og respektere den enkeltes religiøse tilhørighet og verdigrunnlag og at faget er identitetsdannende. Det åpner for kommunikasjon mellom ulike religioner, og blir vurdert som et viktig bidrag til å forstå en global verden. Elevenes utsagn blir analysert i lys av en modell over ulike virkelighetsdimensjoner i religionsdidaktikken, utviklet av Leganger-Krogstad (2013). Det teoretiske rammeverket bygger på ulike kunnskapsdiskurser relatert til Bernsteins begreper om horisontale og vertikale diskurser, og Aristoteles’ begreper om episteme, techne og fronesis, der sistnevnte får en grunnleggende betydning. En hovedkonklusjon er at religionsundervisning er viktig for å stimulere og utvikle fronesis som kunnskapsform hos elevene. Eleverfaringene drøftes også i relasjon til hvilken plass religion som fag gis i norsk utdanningspolitikk for fremtidens skole.Nøkkelord: religionsfagets betydning for ungdom, fronesis, virkelighetsdimensjoner, religionsdidaktikk, utdanningspolitikk, kjerneelementerAbstract: The article focuses on school experiences among young students (age 15-19 years), related to religion in education in Norway studied through individual interviews. Religious education stands out as one of the most important subjects in school. The students report that religious knowledge helps them to understand and respect their school mates’ religious stands and values, to construct their own identity, and to understand the global world. The students’ responses are analysed by the use of a didactical model developed by Leganger-Krogstad (2013) to illustrate dimensions of reality in focus in religious education. The principal conclusion is that religious education is important to stimulate and develop the students’ phronesis for life. Theoretical tools are Bernstein’s concepts of horizontal and vertical discourses, and Aristotle’s concepts of episteme, techne and phronesis. The experiences of the students are then discussed in relation to national educational policy in the future for religious education.Keywords: religious education, students’ perspectives, phronesis, dimensions of reality, RE approaches, educational policy on religious education.

Abstract The content of the article is devoted to the situation of foreigners – migrants – entering and staying in the territory of Poland. All considerations refer to the conditions of the pandemic. The author asks whether the introduced legal solutions are consistent with the rights and freedoms, and whether the restrictions are constitutional and, in particular, proportional to the threat. The subject of the analysis focuses mainly on Polish sources of law issued during the first wave of the epidemic in Poland. Many voices currently indicate that the pandemic situation in the global world could repeat itself in the future. Hence, the present experience should be used as a reference point in the future.
