Abstract |
The paper highlights two perspectives of considering the issues of Russian civilizational identity — historical and those associated with a modern socio-philosophical and socio-political discourse. The purpose of the study of given problematics is to form a reliable picture of the country's past, which would reflect all the essential civilizational foundations, both autochthonous and external civilizational influences on Rus`-Russia. There are two approaches to understanding the problems of Russian civilizational identity from a historical perspective: attempts to build an identity in a truncated form by pointing to one or more historical influences that shaped civilizational identity, and attempts to present the Russian civilizational identity in full-fledged form. As to the concepts of the second group, significant importance is attached to the civilizational influences on the original East Slavic civilizational tradition, and later on Rus`-Russia as a mechanism for the formation of an alloy of heterogeneous components of the Russian civilizational identity. In addition to historical research, the second productive direction of examining the issues of Russian civilizational identity is socio-philosophical. A fairly common use of argumentation related to the topic of Russian civilizational identity has a very limited meaning, since one mostly talks about political and ideological speculations. |
