Abstract

Objective of the study is to analyze archaization as a phenomenon at the level of systemic contradictions of social development. The methodological basis of the research. The author's approach is based on the theoretical and methodological provisions of the philosophical and sociological concept of transients by A. S. Akhiezer and the concept of C. K. Lamazhaa, which considers archaism in the context of system-wide structural changes, as well as the methodological basis of the author's approach was the system paradigm, the core of which is the principle of consistency. Research results. The author's socio-philosophical reflection on the consideration of archaization as a phenomenon of systemic contradictions of social development has shown that, firstly, the origins of systemic contradictions lie in the course of transitivity and the revival of an archaic system of value-normative phenomena in a crisis situation; secondly, in the awakening of archaic memory; thirdly, in the generation of ideological illusions, as well as reproduction and strengthening of archaic social practices in conditions of systemic contradictions; finally, fourthly, in conditions of regression of transitivity, when we are dealing with the resuscitation of archaic structures. Prospects of the study. Within the framework of a systematic approach to the conceptualization of archaization as a phenomenon of systemic contradictions, a socio-philosophical analysis of the influence of archaic processes on social practices in Russian society seems promising.
