THE EMERGENCE OF THE FIRST VIEWS ON CORPOREAL-SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP IN A PRIMITIVE SOCIETY AND THEIR PHILOSOPHICAL FUNCTION

Abstract

Purpose. The paper explores the nascent features of the ideas concerning the correlation of corporeal and social in a primitive society and reveals their philosophical functions. Methodology and Approach. The study made use of historical retrospective, comparative historical methods, historical and philosophical analysis, phenomenological and integrative approaches. The historical-genetic comparison was used to identify general and specific historical epochs of the correlation between corporeal and social and to determine the causes of the contradiction between corporeality and sociality, and the ways to overcome it. The phenomenological approach is important in highlighting the value-significant characteristics of corporeality in a primitive society. Results. The study showed that even in a primitive society there was a contradiction between the corporeal and the social. The transition to the next stage of social development is marked by exacerbation of this contradiction , which could be overcome through changing perceptions of physicality and sociality. Theoretical and / or Practical Value of the study lies in the formation of a fundamentally new concept of social development through the prism of the correlation of corporeality and sociality.
