ANALYTICAL HISTORY
AND FACTOR OF TIME
Within consideration of the problem connected with the state of the art
review of various approaches to history philosophy there is a number of aspects
which, eventually, create rather wide palette of opinions, but don't apply for
the arrangement of priority accents connected with an originality of
understanding of a ratio of philosophy and history within post-nonclassical
science. In the second half of the XX century the new type of post-nonclassical
rationality which, emphasizing historicity of the reason started developing,
focuses attention on processes of the communication which is carried out in a
certain sociocultural space and time and determined by historically concrete
systems of values. To determine time of emergence of a new paradigm, its
borders outlined by these or those philosophical concepts, schools, currents so
difficult, as well as in case of nonclassical rationality.
A peculiar vision of the substantial part of a historical perspective
can be variously depending on in what range the human history, for example, as
sequence of a mutual complementarity and autonomy of various forms of complete
human history which is actually shown within features of ascension of
theoretical philosophico-historical thinking from abstract to the concrete is
considered.
The problem of a ratio rational and historical becomes an axial problem
for the leading philosophical directions. The history isn't thought as the
process or as a stream which isn't put, predetermined to the person individual
consciousnesses, irrational in the basis any more. It is a way of existence of
all phenomena and processes of the world, including reason, every time acting
in concrete historical forms which are result of activity of the person.
Searches of sense of history are carried out on the way of clarification of a
ratio individual and general, subjective and objective, stable and dynamic, traditional
and innovative etc. The person for whom the history is a fundamental way of its
existence becomes the center of these crossings. As a result the history gets anthropological measurement because
searches by the person of its sense coincide with searches of sense of the life
by it.
It is necessary to pay attention to approach to an explanation of social
reality and, respectively, its historical forms consisting in natural change by
one others who are based on understanding of property of human life, its
peculiar discretization when one event is separated from another by specific
pauses. It is that in this case there is no address to what changes and what
exactly occurs in the course of an exit to a problem of a subjective frontage
to the fact taking place in social reality. This problem concerning the nature
of a sociohistorical event and according to the nature of the historic fact
displaying essence of the maintenance of the events, its reconsideration in a
modern context doesn't lose the relevance as receives existential coordinates
of the life in the history.
The attributive concept of historical process assumes that this process
isn't something existing separately from subjects of its activity. The history
consisting of the structured events of different scale from the point of view
of both time, and space will substantially be organized as the integrated
characteristic of results of actions of historical subjects, differs not so
much with degree and scale of participation of subjects in creation of history,
how many degree of their responsibility, understanding of the certain role in
creation of direct social life; the originality which is available during each
historical era or the so-called moment of history differs in a combination of
the acting and not acting subjects of sociohistorical process. That special
style of historical development which is shown in a way of life, typical for
every era, and a mentality is defined.
The social and philosophical analysis of historical process from a position
of post-nonclassical rationality considers a number of factors, for example,
factors of the ideal, connected with knowledge of this or that person or
outstanding persons; natural, connected with the geographical environment and
human biology and so-called artificial which more are defined by way of
production and the available technologies. The method of judgment of historical
process establishes ability of the person to develop within space and time
under those laws which are caused by human history. Schematically such
historical process is represented the ascending line conducting in
"freedom kingdom". Then the history is represented not as something
casual, and as strictly determined process which is closely connected with
civilization approach to the historical process allowing to consider
transitions from one phase to another. Addressing to the sense of history, it
is necessary to tell that there is a peculiar need of existence of a
konstituentny factor in the history.
In this regard, considering a problem of historical development from the
point of view of rationality, it is possible to note that existing in the
history it is represented through due, and possible acts as a peculiar
correlate of the same real and same due. As a result the problem of the present
can be considered in terms of last time and possible with an exit to the future
owing to what the real will possess in principle and not to possess true life.
The similar contradiction meets when designing various models of historical
process, and it really reflects tendencies which are characteristic for modern
post-nonclassical science. The knowledge of sense of history becomes possible
on the basis of the classical gnoseological principle of identity logical and
historical. The rationalistic discourse consists in clarification of the
reasons of a historic fact, its essence, its communications with other
phenomena and regularities, in definition of tendencies of development, etc.
Within post-nonclassical science research of system model of historical process
is complicated by complex nature of human activity, ambiguity of estimates of
its contents, structure and functions by relativity of borders between a
subject and object, ratios of the purposes and means, material and spiritual
aspects.
