The goal of the paper is to study the peculiarities of Karol Wojtyla's anthropological views. It offers a comparative study of the thinker's methods and ideas with Thomism, phenomenology, and personalism. The analysis is based on the works of researchers of the philosophical and theological heritage of Karol Wojtyla and comparison of their results with his teachings. The relevance of the paper lies in the fact that a human being is one of the central issues of philosophical research. Religious philosophy emphasizes the spiritual essence of a human being, which correlates with God, while in the 17th and 18th centuries the essence of a human being is identified with the mind. In turn, Marxist philosophy emphasizes the active essence of a human being. In some areas of modern philosophical thought denies the reality of the personal «I». The influence of philosophical thought is important for the development of society, so the study of anthropological ideas of Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II, one of the most influential figures of the late 20th-early 21stcentury is essential for the philosophy and processes of state formation. Results. It is established that the basis of Wojtyla's philosophical and theological heritage is a Christian doctrine, which gives grounds for some researchers to characterize his ideas as Christian or theological anthropology. The paper performs the analysis of Wojtyla's creative heritage in the context of philosophical, theological, and, in particular, Christian anthropologies. Conclusions. It has been established that the anthropological teaching of Wojtyla presents an original integrity, contains a rethinking of key anthropological concepts and philosophical currents, based on Christian values, individual and social dimension of a human being, and has applied value. The key ideas and methods that bring Wojtyla's anthropology closer to Thomism, phenomenology and personalism are revealed. Among scientists, there is a problem of inconsistency in determining the key principles of anthropological teachings of Wojtyla and inconsistency in referring the thinker to one of the philosophical currents.

This rich volume is an homage to the significant impact Professor Siegfried Wiessner has had on scholarship and practice in many areas of international and domestic law. Reflecting the depth and breadth of his writings, it is a collection of thought-provoking, original essays, exploring topics as diverse as theory about law, human rights, the rights of indigenous peoples, the rule of law, constitutional law, the rights of migrants, international investment law and arbitration, space law, the use of force, and many more – all integrated by the problem and policy-oriented framework of what has come to be known as the New Haven School. Its title "Human Flourishing: The End of Law" reflects the conviction that the purpose of law ought to be to allow humans to achieve their full potential - to thrive and develop, both materially and spiritually, under the law. The volume contributes to a vision of the law as a public order in which the common interest is clarified and implemented peacefully, and offers a source of inspiration for scholars and practitioners working towards such an order of human dignity

The International Yezidi Theological Academy established in Tbilisi is a breakthrough initiative in the history of Yezidism. The objective of my study is to describe the environment in which it was founded, its goals, leading figures and courses taught. The main part of the article is preceded by a brief description of Yezidism and its religious principles, which, due to the ban on writing, have been spread for centuries orally and have not been codified in writing. The following section outlines the changes that have taken place among Yezidis living in Transcaucasia, especially since the 20th century, when the ban on writing was widely violated, as well as the initiatives taken to preserve their cultural and religious identity. The latest of these initiatives is the Yezidi Theological Academy that provides Yezidis with traditional religious knowledge in an academic style.
