Khrapov, S. A. Modern Socio-Cultural Environment of the Devaluation of Classical Axiological Models ‘Being’ and ‘God’

Abstract: The subject under research is the philosophical analysis of modern socio-cultural processes of the devaluation of axiological models ‘Being’ and ‘God’. Processes of socio-cultural development and axiosocio dynamics are described taking into account their phenomenological and mental grounds. An important part of the research is the philosophical analysis of philosophical categories ‘Being’ and ‘God’ in terms of broad socio-cultural dynamics and modern world view crisis. The subject under research can be specified by the names of the following chapters of the article: The nature of values and the modern socio-cultural crisis; Deaxiologization of the classical image of ‘Being’ and Deaxiologization of the classical image of ‘God. Research methodology includes the combination of axiological, sociocultural and social-ontological approaches. The analysis of processes and mechanisms of devaluation of axiological models ‘Being’ and ‘God’ is carried out by combining philosophical research methods with the categories, concepts and methods of social psychology and social cognitive science. The scientific novelty of the research is in the discovery of a number of characteristics of modern socio-cultural dynamics leading to devaluation of classical axiological models ‘Being’ and ‘God’. These characteristics include the ‘spatial and temporal’ gap between culture and sociality when mechanisms of cultural self-regulation and social memory are left behind the speeding social development which inevitably distorts processes of socio-gnoseogenic functioning of the public consciousness as the main phenomenon of the system of socio-cultural regulation; such deformation of the system of traditional values and a long absence of a new system of values result in a spiritual and ideological vacuum filled with pseudo values and images created for manipulative purposes; a new system of values is being formed spontaneously, without cultural filtration and by the means of a metamorphosis combination of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ values; it is not only a simple replacement of values but a deep structural and phenomenological transformation of axiological grounds of socio-cultural environment; new axiological grounds include images and representations that are completely opposite to the essence and temporality of cultural being and human existence.
