Episode 2. Series based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. The Russian Prophet: Pitirim Sorokin

Series of the Institute of Heritage and Modern Society of the Russian State University for the Humanities based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Episode 2 Pitirim Sorokin is one of the world’s greatest sociologists, and his major work is the book Social and Cultural Dynamics, which is the key to understanding what is happening to the world now, and the key to understanding how to get out of this dramatic crisis. This striking analysis allowed Pitirim Sorokin to distinguish three types of culture, three types of the state of society, three types of sociocultural systems - sensate, ideational or supra-sensate, and integrated. Sorokin considered the third type of culture to be preferable - integrated, when elements of both sensate and supra-sensate culture are equally present. This means that a person does not neglect material things, but does not fall into hedonism. At the same time, he is aware of the supersensible, the immaterial, but he does not become an ascetic fanatic. Pitirim Sorokin’s theory quite adequately describes the crisis in which the West is now, and with it, since the West dominates the world, in which the entire planet is. The essence of the crisis is that the sensate sociocultural system that has dominated the West for five or even six centuries has completely exhausted itself. And there is a transition to a new sociocultural system ahead. What kind of system? Supra-sensate, integrated? - this is a question to be discussed.
