Second Thoughts on the Phenomenon
of Social Anomia in a Modern Society (Experience of Russia)
// Politics and Society.
2012. ¹ 12.
P. 4-14.

Abstract:
The article describes the results of a detailed
analysis of Emile Durkheims and Robert Mertons theories
about the phenomenon of social anomia. The author
analyzes why this term tends to be used mostly in a negative
meaning. As a result of the research, the author concludes
that there is a direct dependence of the general use
of the term anomia and meaning of the term norm. The
author proves the need in understanding the latter as a
dynamically developing category which directly depends
on the social system of values and established rules of behavior
prevailing in this or that society. The author also
analyzes the reasons of establishing the traditional understanding
of anomia at all levels of the Russian social
system. Based on the reports of non-government international
organizations and independent Russian mass media
and social organizations the author makes a conclusion
about a stable authoritarian tendency of development of
the Russian society. As a result, the author concludes that
the traditional free of norms status of the term anomia
has been offset in Russian social reality. The author proves
that there is a need in a completely new approach to the
term anomia. Based on the example of a modern Russian
society, the author offers an approach based on which the
new order as disintegration of social and political system,
suppression of the process of development of civil society
institutions and deliberate suppression of civil activity at
a social level and atrophy of individual consciousness at
a personal level. So it is concluded that the new anomia
should be involve prevention of further decomposition of
socio-political system, on one hand, and active growth of
civil society institutions, on the other hand. As one of the
ways of realizations of the new anomia project, the author
suggests that we should pay attention at the development
of so-called the third sector.

Peculiarities of Social and Political Discourse
// Politics and Society.
2012. ¹ 12.
P. 73-80.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=53994
Abstract:
Based on Yulia Latynina’s views, the author of the
article analyzes peculiarities of one of the types of social and
political discourses. The author criticizes the term ‘state dependence
’ introduced by Latynina because it makes everyone
feel like a social addict, i.e. someone who leads a wrong life
or has a disease. The author also views the conditions for the
possibility of social and political discourse: logic of reasoning,
its grounds and proving methods. The author also considers
the two forms of logic used by Latinina. One of them
is almost Marxian: there are general social and cultural patterns
followed by people whenever people realize it or not The
other, subjective logic, is usually defined by a social actor’s
beliefs and values. Based on examples in history (Mexican
prince Tlacaelel, our tsar Ivan the Terrible, medieval struggle
for the power in Europe between Popes and civil authorities),
the author analyzed the connection between these two types
of logic. It has turned out that on one hand, relations between
personality, society and community plays an important role,
and on the other hand peculiarities of the leading type of sociality
and general social life conditions are important, too.
Keywords:
philosophy, discourse, sociality, anomie, justice, state dependence, crisis, personality, society.

Conciliarism and Globalism: Comparative Analysis
from the Point of View of Theology and Cultural Studies
// Politics and Society.
2012. ¹ 12.
P. 81-85.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=53995
Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to show the difference between
conciliarism and globalism that sometimes remains undistinguished
by politicians, social activists and humanitarians. At
the same time, the author uses theological and culturological approaches
to studying the problem. It expands the evidential base and creates a didactic effect for all church and society people.
From the ontological point of view, conciliarism is the higher
principle of unity because it is created by the ideal beginning.
Globalism is the method of uniting based on the material beginning.
Different ontology is the feature of connections in these systems,
too. In global studies only mechanic and organic connections
exist. Conciliarism creates the highest organic hierarchic
system. Global connections are mostly material. But the main
difference is that conciliarism is the unity made by the Gods till
while globalism is the unity made by the \'Prince of Peace\'.
Keywords:
cultural research, society, subtle policy, theology, national unity, globalism, ontology, union, connection, fundamental nature.

Abstract:
Reflection is a unique phenomenon that explains not
only Darwinism but also some philosophies such as Sufism.
Within the framework of our world uniqueness is not absolute.
Similarity creates the grounds for interactions when one turns
into the other and the other is returned in the same proportion
to the interacting party. Biosphere is built on reflection, too,
when organisms give birth to other organisms and interact
with one another. This is the cardinal problem of science.

interpreting the Eurasian idea are investigated. Its sociocultural
aspect is exposed in the light of time concerning the formation of
the Eurasian civilization as well as speeding up degradation and

World and from the aspect of globalization as a phenomenon.
