Abstract
Aim. Philosophical interpretation of the social as defining modernity, represented in the prevailing economic paradigm.
Methodology. The article provides an analysis of the description of the “domination of the social” caused by the change in the position and methods of production of the individual of his own world, thematized by X. Arendt and B. Latour. The choice is due to the task of identifying characteristic examples of the representation of the social in the current paradigm of reality.
Results. The analysis showed that the production of social as a result of labor activity, the content of which, according to Arendt, is a continuous process of reproduction of living conditions and their «without a trace» consumption, leads to the dissolution of the main types of human activities for the arrangement of the world (political and productive) in the labor process and the exclusion of the possibility of political from modernity. In turn, B. Latour established that it is precisely the production of the political, becoming a model for the construction of the social that prevents, firstly, its actual explanation and, secondly, imposes on the social a form that distorts it. The liberation of the social from the political is a condition for the establishment of the social in its own form.
Research implications. The article fixes the difference between the assessments of H. Arendt and B. Latour on the absorption of the political by the social and the formation of the world as a social. It is concluded that sociality is one of the necessary effects of presenting reality in the economic paradigm.
