Российский цивилизационный проект: политико-идеологический ракурс

Abstract

The article criticizes the state strategy of “deideologizing” the institutions of the country’s political management, adopted in the Russian Federation in the 1990s; it analyzes the in­ternal inconsistency of this strategy and supports the opinion of many prominent re­searchers about the indestructibility of the ideological phenomenon as a fundamental ele­ment of modern societies life. It is noted that ideologies can arise and develop sponta­neously, at the grassroots level, without the participation of government and other author­ities. Adoption of these theoretical provisions significantly affects the understanding of the place and role of ideologies in the life of civilizations. Fundamental mutual under­standing is recorded in this aspect between philosophers representing different types of modern societies. In theoretical circles, first come methods that make it possible to ad­equately rethink the inclusion of interdisciplinary principle in the “fabric” of civiliza­tional studies, with particular attention to the innovative potential of this concept. Ideol­ogy, as a phenomenon affecting a wide variety of aspects of societies life, recognizes multidimensional/multidisciplinary nature of its functioning. Making a civilizational project is impossible without simultaneously studying the historical reality of developing civilizations, adding their own cultural and historical boundaries on structures; it is due to the awareness of “the subject’s history” that a philosophical vision of the whole arises – one without which the project cannot gain value-symbolic goal-orientation. For example, the history of Russian culture (both literary, artistic and political) allows us to talk about its resistance to the extremes of Western individualism and create our own pic­ture of the world, taking into account this and other features.
