Abstract
The article considers the correlation of the concepts of pathology, deviation and mutation based on the theoretical content from the list of references. Deviation is not always purely negative. We prove this through H. Becker’s work “Outsiders”. Social groups create rules, and deviants are not able to obey the accepted norms and become outsiders. We have called this approach sociocul-tural. The approach described in V.N. Zheleznyak’s monograph through the prism of rationalistic philosophy is more difficult to understand and present the phenomenon of deviation. The main idea that is revealed in the author’s narrative is as follows: the classical epistemology of rationalism is the mind’s report on its self-improvement. Through the socio-biological approach, deviation is considered with the help of the prism of the evolutionary theory and influence of mutations on development. If we study mutations of the social life of society, then we can call this system a socio-cultural mutation. The last approach was the physiological (anthropological) one. From its points of view, it is said about a difference in the origin of the races of people, hence the likely deviation. S.V. Savelyev in his lecture material has considered the social evolution of the human brain with the help of the anthropological approach. Here we can impose the phenomenon of deviation on the author’s theses, as if describing behaviour through the anthropological differences.
