The purpose of the article is the analysis of the reasons and grounds of the crisis in the sphere of meaning-making, as well as searching answers to the questions about the meaning of human life in the contemporary world, which are maximally relevant in connection with the escalation of global problems, revealing the points of convergence between various theoretical positions, evaluation of their heuristic potential. Theoretical basis of the research is the historical-philosophical, comparative and system approaches, as well as the analysis of philosophical insights in the field of global studies. Originality. Originality lies in the fact that this article is the first attempt to conduct comprehensive analysis in the problem of the sense of the Existence as it is presented in the first quarter of the 21st century and to relate it with the modern social situation that is characterized by a complex range of interconnected and interdependent anthropological problems of our time. Authors emphasize that the main reason in the crisis of meaning is that a man has lost touch with his roots, which is wildlife. He has created an artificial structure, civilization to satisfy his needs and finds no way to the transcendental, which is the true House of his being. Conclusions. A human must refuse from false self-conceit concerning his potential omniscience and omnipotence, cease dictating his own rules to the Existence, determine the boundaries of his freedom and try to clearly realize his place in the objective structure of being. The global situation can change for the better only if a dramatic change in the area of meaning-making happens. The decisive force, which may encourage nudging to the positive changes, can be either the free will of people who have realized the criticality of the situation or external natural and social circumstances that will make people reorganize radically. The proper prioritizing, a deep awareness of universal goals and solidarity between people could be the value basis that will become the foundation to find the meaning and create a more favorable future.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to compare the anthropology of gender by Vasil Rozanov and the ethics of sexual difference by Luce Irigaray, to identify similarities and distinctions between these theories, and to assess their role in the development of the gender studies. Theoretical basis combines the comparative method and the gender approach, which is based not only on describing the difference of statuses, roles and other aspects of men's and women's lives, but also on overcoming the androcentrism in the contemporary world. Originality of the work consists in the fact that, in the context of the gender studies, the special philosophical and anthropological comparison of the gender concepts by Rozanov and Irigaray were carried out for the first time. This allowed reckoning Rozanov's theory in essentialism, and Irigaray's theory in anti-essentialism. The article also reveals the similarity in the anthropology of gender by Rozanov and the ethics of sexual difference by Irigaray in terms of sexuality concept, analyzes and details their main ideas. Conclusion. The important similarity between Rozanov's and Irigaray's concepts is the assertion of female subjectivity as equivalent to male one. The female equivalent of sexuality by Rozanov manifests itself in the concept of "cunnicentrism", but by Irigaray, it is in the metonymy of "two lips". The methodological basis of their concepts is the insuperable opposition of "masculine" and "feminine". Rozanov seeks to identify "masculine" and "feminine", but Irigaray rather concentrates on their radical distinction. According to Rozanov, sexual differences are determined biologically or metaphysically, which defines their eternal and unchanging nature. In turn, Irigaray argues that phallocentric culture is the condition of sexual differences, which may be overcome with changing linguistic structures. The fundamental similarity of the anthropology of gender and the ethics of sexual difference is that not only "masculine", but also "feminine" principles are sexualized in them. Thus, Rozanov in his style and attention to physicality is surprisingly close to the modern gender anthropology and may be regarded as its forerunner. At the same time, the influence of Irigaray's philosophical concepts on the contemporary gender studies is that she was the first to point out the need to create a woman's other discourse that respects sexual difference and revealed the problematical character of singling out the distinctions between the female different and any other different in it.

It is noted that the priority task of integrating the Ukrainian transport system into the European one is the corresponding development of the national network of international transport corridors and their transport and communication infrastructure, as well as the development of logistics systems. It was pointed out that one of the ways to increase the profit of the country's railways is to reduce their operating costs by improving the operational work and rational use of technical means. The expediency of improving the process of wagon traffic management and the functioning of information subsystems in the conditions of railway junctions is substantiated. At the same time, large railway junctions are the most complex technical and technological systems. By their work, they significantly influence such an important indicator as the turnover of a freight wagon. A structural analysis of this indicator shows that more than 80% of the total turnaround time of a wagon is idle at freight and technical stations, which are usually components of developed railway junctions. Most of these downtime are caused by the fact that the cars are idle in anticipation of technological operations. This situation indicates a significant reserve for improving the quality of railways by improving the technology of railway junctions and speeding up the processing of local cars at the junctions. Descriptions of the technological structure of the developed railway junction are given, which include two main subsystems: passenger and freight work. The corresponding mathematical description of the railway junction is presented taking into account subsets of elements and subsets of their characteristics. Shows a graph of the processing line for processing local wagon traffic in developed nodes, which c...
