PHILOSOPHEMES OF «SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION» IN MODERN SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES RESEARCH AND THEIR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

This article is concerned with the study of the place of philosophemes in the structure of cognition of modern transformations in the social sphere. The stage of integration of philosophical and non-philosophical knowledge is analyzed in the context of the study of modern trends in the society at the level of social and humanitarian problems. Both fundamental and applied sciences recognize «social transformation» as an ambiguous, complex and multi-vector phenomenon, so philosophers can become practical «indicators» of the direction of «transformation» and interpretations of the concepts of «social change», social revolutions, reforms, modernization or social movements. Social philosophy today recognizes that in social and humanitarian knowledge the concept of “social transformation” is used as a philosopheme which becomes both a structural part of various areas of non-philosophical knowledge (due to the universal moment in the consideration of complex social phenomena), and allows of analyzing the essence of specific phenomena or processes on the basis of interdisciplinary socio-humanitarian and socio-philosophical synthesis.
