К вопросу о социальной онтологии

Abstract

The article raises the question of the relationship between ontology and heterology, whether they are synonyms or opposed to each other. Ontology, in the classical sense, is, according to Aristotle, “the first philosophy”, or metaphysics, or the doctrine of being. At the same time, being was understood as something supergiven, transcendent, absolute, existing a priori before any concrete being. Such an understanding of being exhausted any manifestation of essence, including social. This is the fundamental setting of the classical type of philosophizing. Non-classical philosophy, on the contrary, seems to refuse such a search for an objective, transcendent foundation and turns to another ontological subject, a person, placing him at the center of his research, at the center of ontology. There is a radical change in emphasis from the absoluteness of truth to its relativity, excluding the position of an absolute, abstract observer as a subject deprived of his own, immanent world, their common cognitive attitude is revealed — the search for a single ontological foundation. The post-non-classical social paradigm, to which we refer social heterology, on the contrary, conceives sociality as a sociation, not as a pre-established one, but as a way of linking singular units devoid of commonality. The post-non-classical social paradigm overcomes metaphysics. Sociality is not a common being, not distributed among all, but divided between events. Such sociality manifests in ontology — heterology.
