Spiritual life of society- non-material sphere of social life. The spiritual sphere includes: spiritual relations, organizations and social institutions that create spiritual values: religion, morality, law, philosophy, art, ethics, aesthetics.

One of the aspects of the spiritual life of society is public consciousness is a set of views and ideas of people, the spiritual life of a given society. The carrier of public consciousness can be both an individual and a social group (for example, a political party). Public consciousness can be directed to any sphere of society, from politics to art - a person can have ideas and opinions about any object. Allocate levels of public consciousness:

Everyday consciousness is the life-practical experience of a person, how a person perceives the life around him and everyday activities;

Moral (ethical) consciousness - society's idea of ​​morality; system of human morality;

Religious consciousness - religious views and ideas of a person;

Political consciousness - ideas that express the political interests of social groups, nations and states;

Aesthetic consciousness is the perception of beauty, beauty and art. Aesthetics is a sensual perception by a person of creativity and standards of beauty;

Scientific consciousness is a form of human activity that is aimed at understanding nature and man using scientific methods (experiments, analysis, synthesis, hypotheses, etc.);

Philosophical consciousness is the study of human thinking and methods of cognition, knowledge of the environment and the laws of development of the world. The main questions that philosophers are trying to solve are: what is primary - matter or consciousness, and whether the world is cognizable.

culture(from Lat. - cultivation, upbringing, education) - a system of historically developing human life, providing free self-realization of the individual. Culture cannot exist without society, since it is itself created by people and develops under the influence of society. Culture and its elements: religion, law, art, science, philosophy, morality, aesthetics and ethics.

In philosophy, the concept of "culture" appeared in the Enlightenment. Then it was understood as a stage in the development of society, characterizing the difference between human existence and animal existence. Culture was opposed to nature and the barbarity of primitive society.

Within the framework of the axiological approach, culture began to be considered as a "system of values". Marxist theorists interpreted culture as a combination of material (architecture, painting, sculpture, household items, equipment, vehicles) and spiritual values ​​(poetry, theater, education, language, rules and norms).

The spiritual life of a person includes: knowledge, feelings, needs, experiences, abilities, faith, beliefs, aspirations and goals.

The spiritual sphere of society's life covers various forms and levels of social consciousness: moral, scientific, aesthetic, political, legal and religious consciousness.

The spiritual sphere of society's life covers various forms and levels of social consciousness: moral, scientific, aesthetic, religious, political, legal consciousness. Accordingly, its elements are morality, science, art, religion.

Morality is a set of rules of conduct derived from people's ideas about good and evil, justice and injustice, good and bad, which are the result of a person's inner conviction or the force of public opinion on him.

Science is a theoretically systematized view of the world around us, reproducing its essential aspects in the abstract-logical form of concepts, theories, laws) and based on the results of scientific research.

Art is a specific form of social consciousness, which is a reflection of the surrounding reality in artistic images.

Religion is a combination of certain myths, dogmas, cult and ritual actions, as well as religious institutions (church).

Unlike material needs, spiritual needs are not set biologically, they are not given to a person from birth. They are formed and developed in the process of socialization of the individual.

The peculiarity of spiritual needs is that they are fundamentally unlimited in nature: there are no limits to their growth, and the only limit to such growth is only the amount of spiritual values ​​​​already accumulated by mankind and the desire of a person to participate in their multiplication.

For the sake of satisfying spiritual needs, people organize spiritual production. The results of spiritual production include:

Ideas, theories, images, values

Public relations of individuals

The level of development of the person himself

Scientists distinguish three types of spiritual production:

Science and education

Art and culture

Religion

The spiritual world of the individual (human microcosm) is a holistic and at the same time contradictory phenomenon. This is a complex system, the elements of which are:

1) spiritual needs in the knowledge of the world around, in self-expression by means of culture, art, other forms of activity, in the use of cultural achievements, etc.;

2) knowledge about nature, society, man, himself;

3) belief in the truth of those beliefs that a person shares;

4) submissions;

5) beliefs that determine human activity in all its manifestations and spheres;

6) the values ​​that underlie a person's attitude to the world and himself, giving meaning to his activities, reflecting his ideals;

7) ability to one or another form of social activity;

8) feelings and emotions in which his relationship with nature and society is expressed;

9) the goals that he consciously sets for himself.

An important element of the spiritual world of a person is his worldview, the totality of his views on the world as a whole and the attitude towards the world associated with them. There are several types of worldview:

1) everyday (or worldly). It is formed under the influence of life circumstances, based on personal experience;

2) religious. It is based on the religious views, ideas and beliefs of a person;

3) scientific. It is formed on the basis of the achievements of modern science, reflects the scientific picture of the world, the results of modern scientific knowledge;

4) humanistic. It is spoken of more as a goal than as a reality. The humanistic worldview combines the best aspects of the scientific worldview with ideas about social justice, environmental safety, and the moral ideal.

The spiritual world of the individual expresses the inseparable connection between the individual and society. A person enters a society that has a certain spiritual fund, which he will have to master in life.

The spiritual life of society is usually understood as that area of ​​being in which objective reality is given to people not in the form of an opposing objective reality, but as a reality present in the person himself, which is an integral part of his personality. The spiritual life of a person arises on the basis of his practical activity, is a special form of reflection of the surrounding world and a means of interacting with it. As a rule, knowledge, faith, feelings, experiences, needs, abilities, aspirations and goals of people are referred to spiritual life. Taken in unity, they constitute the spiritual world of the individual. Being a product of social practice, spiritual life is closely connected with other spheres of social life and is one of the subsystems of society.

The spiritual sphere of society's life covers various forms and levels of social consciousness: moral, scientific, aesthetic, religious, political, legal. Accordingly, its elements are morality, art, religion and right.

Morality

A special role in regulating the life of society and the behavior of its members is played by morality.

Morality (from lat. moralitas - related to temper, character, mentality, habits; and lat. mores - mores, customs, fashion, behavior) - a form of social consciousness that reflects the views and ideas, norms and assessments of the behavior of individuals, social groups and society as a whole.

Morality regulates human behavior in all spheres of public life, supporting and sanctioning certain social foundations, the way of life, and the communication of people. However, promoting the regulation of people's social behavior is not the only function of morality. Morality is, first of all, a life guide, which expresses a person's desire for self-improvement. Its main function is the affirmation of the human in a person.

With the help of morality, society evaluates not only the practical actions of people, but also their motives, motivations and intentions. A special role in moral regulation is played by the formation in each individual of the ability to relatively independently develop and direct his own line of behavior in society without daily external control. This ability is expressed in terms such as conscience, honor, self-esteem.

Moral requirements for a person do not mean the achievement of some particular and immediate results in a particular situation, but adherence to general norms and principles of behavior. Fulfilling, along with the law that appeared later, the role of a regulator of people's behavior, morality has common features with it, but at the same time it fundamentally differs from it in a number of significant points.

The unity between them is expressed in the fact that:

1) in the system of social norms they are the most universal, extending to the whole society;

2) the norms of morality and law have a single object of regulation - public relations;

3) both the norms of law and the norms of morality come from society;

4) the norms of law and norms of morality have a similar structure;

5) norms of law and norms of morality stood out from the mononorms of primitive society.

Religion

The term "religion" in translation from Latin literally means "binding, re-addressing something." It is much more difficult to define the concept of "religion". There are a great many such definitions, they depend on the belonging of the authors to one or another philosophical school, tradition. Thus, Marxist methodology defined religion as a specific form of social consciousness, a perverted, fantastic reflection in the minds of people of external forces dominating them. A believer is likely to define religion as a relationship between God and man. Modern social science is trying to give a more neutral definition: religion is most often understood as a set of views and ideas, a system of beliefs and rituals that unites people who recognize them into one community. The basis of any religion is belief in the supernatural, that is, in the inexplicable with the help of laws known to science, contrary to them.

The problem of the origin of religion is also controversial. The Church teaches that religion appears together with man, exists primordially. Materialistic teachings consider religion as a product of the development of human consciousness. Convinced of his own impotence, of his inability to overcome the power of blind necessity in certain areas of life, primitive man attributed supernatural properties to natural forces. To achieve the desired goals in these areas, along with quite rational, but insufficient actions, people began to perform ritual, symbolic acts designed to guarantee the desired result. Gradually, a belief was formed that such actions (ceremonies, rituals, sacraments) help in some mysterious way to come to the cherished goals. Ultimately, strong ideas arose about certain superhuman, supernatural forces, connections, and relationships. Such constructions, despite all their apparent logic and persuasiveness, have not found confirmation in archaeological data. Excavations of the most ancient sites testify to the presence of primitive religious beliefs already among the Neanderthals. In addition, primitive man felt himself a part of nature, did not resist it, although he tried to determine his place in the world around him, to adapt to it.

One of the earliest forms of religion was totemism - the worship of any kind, tribe, animal or plant as its mythical ancestor and protector (the very word "totem" in the language of North American Indians means "its kind"). Totemism has its roots in the pra-society and originally expressed the belief in the deep inner identity of all members of this or that primitive association with individuals of one particular type of animal. Gradually, it acquired a significant number of rituals, magic (witchcraft), which refers to actions and rituals performed with the aim of influencing the world around us in a supernatural way. Fetishism is also inseparable from magic (from the word "fetish" - a magical thing) - belief in the magical properties of various objects (amulets, figurines, etc.). Magic and fetishism are not special forms of religion, their remnants are preserved within the framework of many modern beliefs (even world religions), although they are condemned by the official church.

All currently existing religions can be divided into three large groups:

1) tribal primitive beliefs that have survived to this day;

2) national-state religions that form the basis of the religious life of individual nations (for example, Hinduism, Judaism, etc.);

3) world religions. There are only three of them: Christianity, Buddhism and Islam.

Signs of world religions include:

a) a huge number of followers around the world;

b) cosmopolitanism: they are inter- and supra-ethnic in nature, going beyond nations and states;

c) they are egalitarian (preaching the equality of all people, addressed to representatives of all social groups);

d) they are distinguished by extraordinary propaganda activity and proselytism (the desire to convert persons of another confession to their faith). All these properties led to the wide spread of world religions: there are more than 1.4 billion Christians in the world, 0.8 billion Muslims (adherents of Islam), and 0.3 billion Buddhists.

Any religion includes several essential elements. Among them: faith (religious feelings, moods, emotions), teaching (a systematized set of principles, ideas, concepts specially developed for a given religion), a religious cult (a set of actions that believers perform in order to worship the gods, i.e. rituals, prayers, sermons, etc.). Sufficiently developed religions also have their own organization - the church, which regulates the life of the religious community.

Predicting the future of religion is extremely difficult. Multidirectional processes are taking place in society: on the one hand, an increasing number of spheres of human activity are being secularized, freed from the influence of religion, on the other hand, in many countries (especially in the former socialist countries), the role and authority of the church is growing. It is obvious, however, that the promised displacement of religion by scientific thoughtit will happen very soon.

Art

It is customary to call art a specific form of social consciousness and human activity, which is a reflection of the surrounding reality in artistic images. Through the creation of works of art, such a type of cognitive activity of people as artistic knowledge is realized.

Art originated in ancient times, but during this period it was not yet considered a special kind of activity. The ancient Greeks called “art” both the ability to build houses, and the skills of government, and the process of treating people, etc. The isolation of aesthetic activity proper, that is, art in its modern sense, first of all occurred in the field of craft. This can be clearly seen in the example of pottery. The manufacture of dishes, in particular the famous Greek vases, was accompanied by decorating them with various kinds of ornaments. An ornament is a pattern built on a regular rhythmic alternation and an organized arrangement of abstract geometric or pictorial elements. Early Greek ornaments - meanders - were a line broken at a right angle, forming a series of identical motifs connected to each other.

Gradually, the process of creating the aesthetic was transferred from the material sphere to the spiritual sphere, and the artistic activity itself turned into the creation by a person of a special (second along with the objective) fictional world.

Art is the highest form of aesthetic consciousness. It is a necessary element of social consciousness, ensuring its integrity, mobility, stability in the present and orientation to the future.

The subject of art is a person, his relationship with the outside world and other individuals, as well as the life of people in certain historical conditions. Art is conditioned by the world of nature and social relations that surround individuals.

The form of existence of art is a work of art that has a specific and genre specificity and is realized as a material object - a sign that conveys to people a certain artistic concept that has aesthetic value.

Art as a cultural phenomenon is divided into a number of types, each of which has a specific language, its own sign system. Scientists distinguish the following types of arts.

1. Architecture (architecture) - a kind of art, which is a system of buildings and structures that form a spatial environment for human life.

Architecture occupies a special place among other arts because it does not depict objects, but creates them. Architecture can be public, residential, urban planning, landscape gardening, industrial, restoration.

2. Painting - a type of art whose works are a reflection of life on a certain surface using color.

A work created by a painter is called a painting. The picture can be painted on wood, paper, cardboard, silk or canvas.

The totality of works united by a common range of topics or objects of the image is called a genre. In painting, the following genres are distinguished:

a) portrait - an image of a person or a group of people who exist or existed in reality;

b) still life - an image of things surrounding a person;

c) landscape - an image of natural or man-transformed nature;

d) everyday genre - an image of people's everyday life;

e) animalistic genre - the image of animals;

f) historical genre - depiction of historical events and figures.

Graphics should be distinguished from painting, which, like painting, is associated with an image on a plane, but its works, as a rule, are performed on paper, are smaller in size and move more easily in space.

There are easel, book, magazine and newspaper graphics. The genres of graphics basically repeat the genres of painting. To a certain extent, a specific graphic genre is caricature (satirical drawing, cartoon).

3. Sculpture - a type of fine art whose works have a physically material, objective volume and a three-dimensional form placed in real space. Sculpture is divided into round (head, bust, torso statue) and relief. A relief is a convex image on a stone. All reliefs are divided into bas-reliefs, high reliefs and counter-reliefs. A bas-relief is a low relief that rises above the plane by less than half of its real volume. High relief is a high relief that rises above the plane by more than half of its real volume. The counter-relief is an in-depth relief.

There are also sculpture easel, decorative and monumental. An easel is a small sculpture intended mainly for decorating rooms. Decorative - medium sculpture, and monumental - large and huge.

4. Arts and Crafts - a type of fine art that is directly related to the everyday needs of people. Decorative and applied arts include works made from a wide variety of materials (traditionally wood, clay, stone, glass and metal). A feature of this type of art is its utility, inclusion in the daily life of people. Like architecture, arts and crafts is a constantly acting factor in shaping the human environment.

5. Literature - a form of art that reflects reality in verbal and written images.

The first literary works - legends, epics, myths - appeared even when mankind did not have a written language, and were passed from mouth to mouth. Oral folk art is usually called folklore.

6. Music - a kind of art that reflects reality in sound artistic images. Music intended for singing is called vocal music. If the work is performed only on instruments, then such music is called instrumental.

7. Theater - a kind of art, the specific means of expression of which is a stage action that occurs in the process of an actor playing in front of an audience.

8. Circus - the art of acrobatics, balancing act, gymnastics, pantomime, juggling, magic tricks, clowning, musical eccentrics, horse riding, animal training.

9. Ballet - a kind of art, the content of which is revealed in dance and musical images.

10. Movie - a kind of art, the works of which are created with the help of filming of real events, specially staged or recreated by means of animation.

11. Photo art - the art of creating by chemical and technical means a visual image of a documentary meaning, artistically expressive and authentically capturing an essential moment of reality in a frozen image.

12. Bandstand - a form of art that includes small forms of dramaturgy, music and choreography, the main works of which are separate completed numbers.

Art is multifunctional: it performs many different functions in society.

The socially transforming function of art is manifested in the fact that it, having an ideological and aesthetic impact on people, includes them in a directed and holistically oriented activity to transform society.

The consoling-compensatory function is to restore in the sphere of the spirit of harmony lost by a person in reality. With its harmony, art affects the inner harmony of the personality, contributes to the preservation and restoration of its mental balance.

The artistic-conceptual function is expressed in the property of art to analyze the state of the surrounding world.

The function of anticipation characterizes the ability of art to anticipate the future. Fantastic, utopian and socially predictive works of art are based on this ability.

The educational function of art reflects the role of art in the formation of a holistic human personality, feelings and thoughts of people.

The inspiring function is manifested in the impact of art on the subconscious of people, on the human psyche. In tense periods of history, it plays a leading role in the overall system of the functions of art.

The aesthetic function is the specific ability of art to form the aesthetic tastes and needs of a person, to awaken in the individual the desire and ability to create according to the laws of beauty.

The hedonistic function shows the special, spiritual nature of art, designed to give people pleasure. It is based on the idea of ​​the inherent value of the individual and implements it, delivering to a person the disinterested joy of aesthetic pleasure.

The cognitive-heuristic function shows the cognitive role of art and is expressed in its ability to reflect and master those aspects of life that are difficult for science.

The specificity of art as a form of artistic knowledge lies in the fact that, firstly, it is figurative and visual. The subject of art - the life of people - is extremely diverse and is reflected in art in all its diversity in the form of artistic images. The latter, being the result of fiction, nevertheless are a reflection of reality and always bear the imprint of real-life objects, events and phenomena. The artistic image performs the same functions in art as the concept in science: with the help of it, the process of artistic generalization takes place, highlighting the essential features of cognizable objects. The created images constitute the cultural heritage of society and are capable, having become symbols of their time, to have a serious impact on public consciousness.

Secondly, artistic knowledge is characterized by specific ways of reproducing the surrounding reality, as well as the means by which artistic images are created. In literature, such a means is the word, in painting - color, in music - sound, in sculpture - volumetric-spatial forms, etc.

Thirdly, a huge role in the process of knowing the world with the help of art is played by the imagination and fantasy of the cognizing subject. Artistic fiction, allowed in art, is completely unacceptable, for example, in the process of scientific knowledge.

Unlike various social sciences that study certain aspects of people's lives, art explores a person as a whole and, along with other types of cognitive activity, is a special form of cognition of the surrounding reality.

Art is included in an integral system of forms of social consciousness, which, along with it, includes the philosophy, politics, law, science, morality, and religion already discussed above. All of them realize their functions in a single cultural context that arises due to their interconnections.

Politics

Political sphere- this is the relationship of people, connected primarily with power, which provide joint security.

The Greek word politike (from polis - state, city), having appeared in the writings of ancient thinkers, was originally used to refer to the art of government. Having retained this meaning as one of the central ones, the modern term "politics" is now used to expresssocial activity, in the center of which are the problems of acquiring, using and retaining power.The elements of the political sphere can be represented as follows:

    political organizations and institutions- social groups, revolutionary movements, parliamentarism, parties, citizenship, presidency, etc.;

    political norms -political, legal and moral norms, customs and traditions;

    political communications -relations, connections and forms of interaction between participants in the political process, as well as between the political system as a whole and society;

    political culture and ideology- political ideas, ideology, political culture, political psychology.

Needs and interests form certain political goals of social groups. On this target basis, political parties, social movements, powerful state institutions that carry out specific political activities arise. The interaction of large social groups with each other and with the institutions of power constitutes the communicative subsystem of the political sphere. This interaction is regulated by various norms, customs and traditions. Reflection and awareness of these relations form the cultural and ideological subsystem of the political sphere.

Culture is a very complex phenomenon, which is reflected in the hundreds of definitions and interpretations that exist today. The most common are the following approaches to understanding culture as a phenomenon of social life:

– Technological approach: culture is the totality of all achievements in the development of the material and spiritual life of society.

- Activity approach: culture is a creative activity carried out in the spheres of the material and spiritual life of society.

– Value approach: culture is the practical implementation of universal human values ​​in the affairs and relationships of people.

Starting from the 1st c. BC e. the word "culture" (from the Latin cultura - care, cultivation, cultivation of the land) meant the upbringing of a person, the development of his soul and education. It finally came into use as a philosophical concept in the 18th - early 19th centuries. and denoted the evolution of mankind, the gradual improvement of language, customs, government, scientific knowledge, art, religion. At that time, it was close in meaning to the concept of "civilization". The concept of "culture" was opposed to the concept of "nature", that is, culture is what a person created, and nature is what exists independently of him.

Based on the numerous works of various scientists, the concept of " culture can be broadly defined as a historically conditioned dynamic complex of forms, principles, methods and results of active creative activity of people that are constantly updated in all spheres of public life.

Culture in the narrow sense the process of active creative activity, during which spiritual values ​​are created, distributed and consumed.

In connection with the existence of two types of activity - material and spiritual - two main spheres of existence and development of culture can be distinguished.

The division of culture into material and spiritual is very conditional, since it is sometimes very difficult to draw a line between them, because they simply do not exist in a “pure” form: spiritual culture can also be embodied in material media (books, paintings, tools, etc.). d.). Understanding the whole relativity of the difference between material and spiritual culture, most researchers nevertheless believe that it still exists.

Under spiritual life of society usually understand that an area of ​​being in which objective reality is given to people not in the form of opposing objective activity, but as a reality that is present in the person himself, which is an integral part of his personality.

The spiritual life of a person arises on the basis of his practical activity, is a special form of reflection of the surrounding world and a means of interacting with it.



The spiritual life is usually referred to as knowledge, faith, feelings, experiences, needs, abilities, aspirations and goals of people. Taken in unity, they constitute the spiritual world of the individual.

Spiritual life is closely connected with other spheres of society and is one of its subsystems.

Elements of the spiritual sphere of society: morality, science, art, religion, law.

The spiritual life of society covers various forms and levels of social consciousness: moral, scientific, aesthetic, religious, political, legal consciousness.

Topic 2. Forms and varieties of culture: folk, mass and elite; youth subculture

When it comes to the diversity of cultures, it is understood in different ways.

However, most often, speaking of the diversity of cultures, they mean three forms of culture: elite, popular, mass and two varieties: subculture(from lat. sub - under) and counterculture(from lat. contra - against).

The criterion for the presence and formation of a subculture is the totality of all its parameters.

Components and signs of subculture, knowledge (picture of the world in the narrow sense of the word); values; style and way of life; social institutions as systems of norms; skills, abilities, methods of implementation, methods; social roles and statuses; needs and inclinations.

Mass and elite cultures are not hostile to each other. Achievements, artistic techniques, ideas of "elite art" after a while cease to be innovative and are adopted by mass culture, raising its level. At the same time, mass culture, which brings profit, makes it possible for film companies, publishing houses, and fashion houses to support the "creators" of elite art.

The youth subculture is often seen as deviant (deviating), expressing some degree of opposition to the dominant culture. It develops most often on the basis of peculiar styles in clothing and music and is associated with the development of a consumer society that creates more and more product markets, aimed primarily at young people. Youth culture is a culture of conspicuous consumption. Its emergence is also associated with an increase in the role and importance of free time, leisure, around which all relationships are formed. The youth subculture also focuses more on peer group friendships than family. In addition, the growth of living standards makes it possible to carry out large-scale experiments with the way of life, the search for other, different from the culture of adults, cultural foundations for one's existence.
