2000 Volume 2

Entry date: 2009-11-11

Author(s): George Chinchaladze

Religion, moral criteria form the absolute axiological (value) basis of culture, which gives the form of social law (norms) to the obligations and good will. It is namely participation in God's heavenly realm or "wellbeing" which motivates the orientation of seasonal labor habits and holidays on the church calendar and the order of sacrifice, which was considered by the people as a universal obligation similar to lighting a candle in the cathedral.

Multidisciplinary research is accompanied by a number of difficulties, of course, which must be overcome before undertaking the analysis of a specific region at a specific time.
