Bocharova, V. V. Modern Eurasian Social and Philosophical Concepts Explaining the Phenomenon of Violence

Abstract: The present article is devoted to the analysis of theoretical concepts of Eurasian philosophy on the phenomenon of violence. The main issue in focus is the theoretical concept about the difference of Western and Eurasian civilizations as introduced by the followers of Eurasianism. The author of the article underlines the theoretical importance and potential of Eurasianism philosophical ideas in further researches of the phenomenon of violence in a modern society. Violence in a modern society continues to be an extremely topical issue and very important field of research. Russian philosophers have already tried to explain why images of violence are so spread in popular culture and acts of violence are so frequent in everyday life. Eurasian concept of violence being related to the core civilization processes raises new issues and creates new perspectives for their solutions. It is quite obvious that further researches in this sphere should necessarily take into account all the ideas and concepts offered by classical Eurasianism and developed by traditional Russian philosophy.
