The problem of the relationship between man and the world in social ontology

The monograph is devoted to the issue of relationships within the framework of the fundamental system: man-society-world. Among the issues under consideration are the problem of relationships between man and the world, the masses and the elite, as well as generational conflicts and the problem of the meaning of life. Particular attention is paid to the strategy of human behavior in a crisis, transitional time, in the "era of confusion", when not only freedom and dignity of a person, but also his life are at stake. The author also explores the complex relationship between a person and an absurd reality, the ability of a person to give meaning to social being through conflict with it. The historical and philosophical foundation of this monograph is formed by the existential concepts of M. Heidegger, H. Ortega y Gasset and A. Camus - the outstanding European philosophers of the 20th century. The book is addressed to philosophers, sociologists, culturologists and all those who are not indifferent to the problems of modern philosophy and culture.
