THE PROBLEM OF THE EVOLUTION OF COOPERATION: SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY GENERALIZATIONS AT THE JUNCTION OF BIOSOCIAL METAPHORS AND GAME-THEORETIC MODELS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the conceptual nature of the phenomenon of cooperation through the prism of socio-philosophical interdisciplinary generalizations arising at the junction of sociobiological metaphors and game-theoretic models. The relevance of this topic is dictated, on the one hand, by the fact that cooperation in the context of globalization and the constantly changing international situation is based on new forms of communication and challenges of the XIX century, on the other, by the understanding that cooperation must have some kind of ontological biosocial duality rooted in the nature of cooperation, i.e., independent status. Therefore, the search for a conceptual description of the deep foundations of cooperation in social philosophy and related fields is of interest, since interdisciplinary intersections provide an opportunity for a new look at the declared area. In this context of interdisciplinary research, i.e., the intersection of different models, the general concept of cooperation can acquire the most constructive predictive-epistemological connotations. The proposed approach reveals the additional potential of an interdisciplinary view of the problem of identifying effective and destructive forms of cooperation. The article is partly an attempt to solve the old dilemma of the biosocial nature of man in its theoretical refraction on the issue of social cooperation. The methodology of the work is based on the principles and methods of socio-philosophical analysis, principles of modeling social processes, comparative analysis, which is interdisciplinary.
