Civilizational-value analytics as a method of public administration and sectoral policies

The author raises the question of the instrumentalization of the cultural code of the country to ensure the praxeology of its public administration and sectoral policies and suggests a methodology based on the method of ontological deduction. The current state with the objectification of value constants in Russia is given, progress and unambiguous logic of the legislator on the use of cultural policy for the implementation of the goals and objectives of not only the cultural block, but also national security and socio-economic development of the Russian Federation are noted. The concept of the praxeology of public administration is introduced, the thesis of the conditionality of the effectiveness of public administration by the use of appropriate criteria is introduced and substantiated, the genesis of values from individual motives through consistent pre-values to social imperatives is given as confirmation of the hypothesis of the direct influence of the value basis of managerial activity on the adequate perception of the country by the people strategies of public administration. The ontological hierarchy of values based on the philosophical and methodological concretization of the mechanisms of reproduction of human society from civilization to the country is given, which makes it possible to instrumentalize values. The concretization of industry values is made on the example of the values of the economic block of the country for the implementation of specific goal-setting and goal-achievement in this industry. The logic of non-random goal-setting and goal-attainment in the civilization-value approach is reproduced. The current situation with the implementation of Decree No.809 of 09.11.2022 regarding the civilizational and value expertise of legislation is problematized, a request is made for the need to launch a federal program of civilizational and value analytics. The methodology has been tested in a number of regions of the Russian Federation, training programs for experts are ready, based on it, methodological instructions for employees of state and municipal authorities are being developed in accordance with the requirements of Decree No.809 of 09.11.2022.

Modern Reuse

The essay is part of an ongoing research work about the heritage of modernism, especially the relationship between material, information and message — projected on the genesis of values and a cultural practice of modern reuse, not least on our present legacy and an upcoming circular society. It examines narratives and developments of modernism, concerning the built environment and industry production, to question modern general principles, systems of values and socio-cultural interrelations. The examination is experimentally grounded on projects both in experimental architecture and discourse, which operate across research, practice and conceptual art — referring to the Bestandsverpflanzung (2008) and the current work with Bauhaus reuse from 2019.

Genesis and Geltung

Tullio Viola – One of the most relevant aspects of your intellectual career is your reflection on the link between historical and normative arguments with regard to values. This reflection goes back at least to your 1997 book The Genesis of Values, and may be seen to culminate in the methodological chapter of your 2011 book on The Sacredness of the Person, in which you talk about the need for an “affirmative genealogy” of values. As you have made clear many times (most recently in the article...

Sacralization and Desacralization: Political Domination and Religious Interpretation

In my writings on the history of human rights, the Axial Age, and the genesis of values, I have treated the experience of self-transcendence and the attribution of sacredness as a fundamental anthropological phenomenon. But this fundamental fact of ideal formation has a flip side: The sacralization of particular meanings is originally always also the sacralization of a collectivity. This I call the danger of self-sacralization. In this contribution I offer a brief, historically oriented sociological sketch of the tensions between “religion” and “politics” in light of this assumption, discuss H. Richard Niebuhr’s relevance for this area of study, and illustrate my thesis with regard to contemporary cases where the danger of self-sacralization is particularly urgent.

The Genesis of Values in Genesis

The genesis of values occurred in the Garden of Eden when God created man. He instilled in man the value of knowledge, which Satan used as part of his deception. God created man with a core intellect capable of external influence. Our modern culture interprets the world through its values and beliefs, both of which are codified and forged into a worldview. The Christian worldview is predicated upon biblical teaching and interpretation. It is the foundation for family values. These values are prevalent in the Book of Genesis1 and are what comprise the family unit, the decline of which is eroding the values given by God.

Globalisation and the Genesis of Values

This talk was delivered as an Inaugural Lecture in Anthropology at the University of Sydney on the evening of August 22, 2001. It was sponsored by the Arts Association of the University of Sydney. In it I present an overview of my career, noting the consistencies between my work in philosophy and in anthropology, and between what may appear as two quite disparate field sites, urban Jamaica and central Australia. A method that involves a sociology of value, and an historical anthropology, brings these research areas into interesting relations, as does a growing concern with women's roles in the course of change.
