Социальное самоопределение как фактор противодействия деструктивным формам солидарности

Abstract

Introduction. Within the framework of sociological thought, the question of solidarity is mainly raised in the context of the idea of social integration. At the same time, solidarity is not always a constructive, socially-saving and socially-integrating factor. The article raises the question of destructive forms of solidarity. The main signs and factors of the development of destructive solidarity are determined. The influence of the nature of social self-determination of members of society on the level of development of constructive and destructive forms of solidarity is considered. Methods. The research uses an analytical approach, as well as methods of comparison and abstraction. The research also relies on the phenomenological method. Results. The article deals with such problems as lack of solidarity and destructive solidarity and examines them within the framework of the classical interpretation of the concept of “solidarity”. The analysis of the relationship between the forms of solidarity and the nature of the attitude to social conflict is carried out. The predominance of the mechanistic type of solidarity in destructive processes is considered. At the same time, it is proved that mechanistic solidarity in itself is not the basis of social destructiveness. The question is raised about social priorities and the nature of social self-determination as the leading factors in the development of constructive and destructive forms of solidarity. The ways of development of constructive forms of social self- determination are considered. The question is raised about the institutional and cultural foundations for the development of constructive forms of social self-determination. Conclusion. Based on the analysis, the author substantiates the importance of cultural and institutional factors of constructive and destructive solidarity, on the basis of which he justifies the priority nature of socially- oriented organizational activities aimed at the development of constructive forms of social self-determination.
