Dear readers, the name of the Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, the Head of the “Philosophy of Education” Laboratory of the Institute of Theory of Education and Pedagogy of the Russian Academy of Education, the President of the Academy of Creative Pedagogy, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Russian schools, Academician and a member of the Presidium of the Academy of Social and Psychological Sciences YakovSemenovichTurbovskoi has long been known to the scientific-educational community in Russia and abroad. We know and deeply appreciate his many remarkable works on pedagogy, philosophy, education, and psychology such as “Tradition and Modernity” (textbook, 2006), “Russian language: between hostility and love” (monograph, 2010), the articles “Multicultural upbringing in the United States and Canada” (2002), “Spirituality as an object of methodological consideration” (2009) and many, many others. Today, we continue to publish (see the first part in the previous issue of the journal – № 2 (47), 2013) a new scientific paper by YakovSemenovich called “Pedagogical axiomatics as a fundamental demand of time”. The article presents a system of “Pedagogical axiomatic”as an initial basis for the development of the modern domestic education in the context of globalization. The axiomatic immutability is indicated of the pedagogical principle of nature-conformity as well as of the principles of adaptation and continuity. The recognition of the need for the purposeful usage of pedagogical axiomatics should ensure the quality and efficiency of the formation of the competitive person, and promote the transformation of the national education into an actor of national security. The editors thank Ya. S. Turbovskoj for the possibility to publish this scientific work, which raises critical issues of educational theory and practice; and invite readers to continue the discussion of the presented topical educational issues of pedagogical axiomatics.
