We present the third issue of our journal for the current year. It contains studies that mainly address historical and philosophical topics and socio-political philosophy. The chronology of the articles included in the issue covers the period from classical antiquity to the present day and the geography - from Hellas to the Turkic steppes. 

The issue opens with an article by Nikola Lečić, dedicated to the ancient visual philosopheme of embracing disorder by order. The author focuses on the worldview of the early Pythagoreans and Platonists, in particular, the concept of the dodecahedron as a figure capable of embracing the whole. Paired with it is the study by Olga Alieva, who considers the possibility of using the stylometric method to determine the authorship of dialogues in the Platonic corpus. The transition from ancient to medieval themes is presented by Oleg Aurov's article, which examines the existence of the concept of palatium in late Roman and early medieval Spanish texts and continues with an English-language study by Juan Sota, which focuses on the role of the cult of the Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of Castile during the reign of Alfonso X the Wise.

Konstantin Erusalimsky analyzes the ethical and political views of Prince Andrei Kurbsky in his study, proposing to consider them, first of all, as a language problem. Of extreme interest in this article is the analysis of Kurbsky's attempts to bring Orthodox education closer to Catholic scholarship and the ethical and political ideals of the ancient world. Gaziz Telebaev and two co-authors, Altaybaeva Ayaulym and Bexeit Asylzat, draw the reader's attention to the use of political concepts in the classical Turkic picture of the world, using a corpus of texts from the 8th-13th centuries for analysis.

The block of studies continues with two pairs of articles, each of which is of considerable interest to readers. Thus, Ilya Pavlov's investigation turns to the analysis of the methodology of the Cambridge School researchers and suggests supplementing it with several tools developed by other authors of a wide range, from Michel Foucault to Hermann Lubbe and Evert van der Zweerde. Larisa Zhgileva's article is a detailed analytical review of the utopian discourse in French social and philosophical literature of the 20s of our century. The articles by Daria Shakhova and Mikhail Voloshin are devoted, respectively, to the problems of phenomenology in the research of Vladimir Bibikhin and the epistemology of computer simulations. 

Evgeny Maslanov's article opens a fascinating discussion on the problem of political subjectivity of modern science. Vladimir Porus, Valentin Bazhanov, Liana Tukhvatullina, Svetlana Shibarshina and Evgeny Zharkov participated in the debate. The block of reviews and literary overviews in this issue includes Oleg Aurov's reflections on Pavel Lukin's book and Sumbel Zainullina's review of Matthieu Queloz's book. The issue ends with a review of the Fifth Bibikhin Readings, compiled by Daniil Vishnyakov and Nikolai Sloboda.
