For description of individual variability of the frontal bone supraorbital margin the craniometric study of the Ryazan region inhabitants’ skulls was conducted. Using digital photometry method the determination of quantitative characteristics and the spatial position of the supraorbital margin relatively to standard parameters of the orbit was performed. Some indicators of the orbit sizes have been studied. The classification, reflecting the degree of supraorbital margin’s arc curvature, has been developed, based on curvature coefficient (CC), suggested by the authors. Three Options for the spatial arrangement of frontal bone’s supraorbital margin were identified, according to CC: less than 30 - a slightly curved arc; 30-45 - moderate curved and more than 45 - strongly curved. Reliable moderate force correlation between values of the CC and the superior face index has been determined.

The article studies the problem of interrelation between culture and civilization and three approaches to the problem are presented: the mediation approach (E. Yarkova), the culture-сentric approach (Yu. Larin) and the normative approach (A. Pavlov). The authors analyze the logic-conceptual aspects of the problem of interrelation between culture and civilization and study the process of logical formation of various interpretations concerning the interrelation of these two concepts. A supposition is put forward that the inverse logic which absolutizes polar concepts is being superseded by the mediation logic which is aimed to establish relations among different concepts. Various interpretations of the interrelation between culture and civilization are considered and the general review of the major theories is made. The authors postulate the generating function of the concept of culture in the framework of modern science; the object of studies concerning the concept of civilization is formulated and the mechanism of its formation is analyzed. Finally, a conclusion is made about a high relevance of such studies for practice.

Epistemology of culture is a prospective area of current philosophical research. The paper presents various concepts: culture-centrism (Y.V. Larin), socio-cultural analysis (E.N. Yarkova), modern times and inter-civilization age (A.V. Pavlov). The paper reviews ideological and methodological foundations of scientific study of culture, types of scientific rationality, horizons and prospects of human existence. It substantiates a generating role of a “culture” notion in a current scientific world view. The source principles of ontological comprehension of culture as an exceptionally complex and self repugnant reality are formulated in the article. An importance of development of methods of socio-cultural analysis is stated. A role of culture as a conceptual basis for social being is defined. Main principles and procedures of methodology of socio-cultural analysis are presented. A necessity to develop a disciplinary matrix of research in culture as a semantic and axiological ground of social being is substantiated. The article raises an issue of study of condition of culture in modern Russia and future development. It is noted that analysis of modern environment is vital for bringing up essential issues of social life. A scheme of objectives of modernity research is described.
