Batugin G.S. P.4-13

SOCIAL THEORY
UTILITARISM AND NORMATIVE ARGUMENTATION: THE LOGIC OF ONSUMPTION CULTURE
Yermolenko G.A. P.14-30
Abstract: A “consumerist thinking” underlying the language of the Consumerist Culture is analyzed.

Its quiddity is getting alive, while the dream appears personified. The core principles of the signifying systems are named: utility and efficiency of an action qua criterion of its rationality; moral relativism qua the moral law; discoursivity of the profane communication.

RUSSIAN AND WTO: AT FINAL STRAIGHT
Vercueil J. P.31-46
Abstract: Russia is now in the final negotiation phase regarding its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

In the longer term, the main challenge faced by Russian authorities is to ensure that documents that are already in force are transposed.
