THE PERCEPTION OF SUBJECTIVITY "CATCHING-UP" TRANSITIVE STATE

Development of transitive society in itself, of course, doesn't assume correlation with that type of society about which it is now told, i.e. about the "catching-up" state. However in this case there is a number of serious problems which can't be bypassed. First, if the subject speaks about transitive society with innovative processes, most likely he speaks if not about the society which is coming nearer to stable, at least, about the safe developing society. And actually in this case, probably, there is no sense of a message a discourse about any crisis phenomena or conditions of this society having character which mentions bases of the society.

 On the other hand, if to consider transitive society from positions of that in any transitive society by definition there have to be both crises, and unstable situations, social disasters are possible even, then there is quite natural question that the "catching-up" society too fits this definition. Therefore, probably, here it is necessary to find certain criteria by which it is estimated, the qualitative characteristic of problems when it isn't specified, about which level of transitive society there is a speech: about innovative or about "catching up". Of course, it is possible to allocate a number of criteria, main of which - stability in the economic and political sphere, high welfare of life of the population, development of civil institutes, etc. Probably, this or that subjective attitude towards these criteria and some other can be considered from the point of view of the "catching-up", transitive stable society. In this plan it is possible to tell that transitive society will possess a number of some properties which, perhaps, within social and philosophical research won't receive character of the usual traditional characteristic. One of them it that in the "catching-up" society the phenomenon actually can be considered and without essence, i.e. from the phenomenon is only the name, the original contents designated by this word, is practically not present. Or there is some insignificant similarity, or in general there is no that it is accepted to call society.

We will consider, for example, development of democracy and civil society. Really investigating similar concepts, it is possible to note that they from a position of subjectivity are filled with essence as far as possible of their filling by this or that sense and how society is able to correspond to this sense of similar concepts in general. Researchers are faced by a certain semantic number of words because they in principle catch up with those words which contain in really stable democratic society. In our case they as if accompany society which "catches up" with stable transitive society. It is actually possible even to tell that the words "democracy", "civil society", "political parties", etc. simply accompany society, but the essence isn't present. It should do even a certain way. Here crisis of society, here need of the movement to transitivity.

 By the way, these concepts can be supplemented with essence as far as possible of their filling or as society is able to correspond to sense of similar words to some extent. words appear only because they accompany the developed society, but to requirement, for example, for convenient life of people in such transitive society can grow, and here to need for civil society it isn't known yet. Most likely we will answer in the negative. Business here not in lack of experience and skills, and more in requirements. As it is paradoxical, but there is a question, and whether there is a need for democracy. In a number of researches it is directly said that such requirement isn't present. An intermediate conclusion, it is possible to formulate as paradox: a democratism development tool in the conditions of transformation is authoritarianism. And the concept "democracy" is a standard which is set by stable society. However "the catching-up society" solves any problems authoritatively since it doesn't know other ways therefore also problems of democracy are solved in the habitual and clear way - authoritarianism.

Therefore when the subject says that the "catching-up" country anyway tries to go in a channel of the stable country, is guided by it, or, perhaps, even there is a peculiar social coupling is becomes in order that the "catching-up" society would look as the modern state. However the present is shown first of all in a way of life. By the way, the way of life adequately describes a social component of reality, and a way of activity of considerable number of citizens of the "catching-up" state is close to samples of the Western world, the stable world in many respects unlike it. However we will notice that at such understanding of social coupling, or the accession to the modern stable states, arises a question that it in transitive societies will be non-uniform. The matter is that stable society supports directly not some compact complete society dealing with some amorphous and non-uniform mass of the states. Usually "catching up" countries sometimes live at the same time in four worlds and in four eras: traditional, industrial, eras of modernization and post-modernization era. According to a traditional component to stable society will heavier drag therefore the similar combination of the stable and "catching-up" societies will happen to big friction, to big losses for the last. It is worth paying attention that the ideas stated in a number of works of the "catching-up" or clinging society will be useful to the certain idea uniting this or that similar society since. it allows to develop optimistic prospect, to take a constructive position, to create the purposes of similar society compatible to intensions of that generation which enters life because otherwise hardly this younger generation will aspire to those values of stable societies within public practice if it sees that society in which it lives, already hopelessly lagged behind these states, and it will be almost impossible to catch up with them.
