Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of the study is determined by the demand for prosocial values while maintaining and developing the unity and cohesion of Russian society, as well as by the need to refer to the Russian historical experience, including aspects that have not attracted sufficient attention from researchers. This study aims to consider the genesis, evolution, and content of prosocial ideas in the Russian humanitarian thought of the 19th century. Materials and methods. The study used data from an extensive list of pedagogical, psychological, journalistic, philosophical, and other works of a number of prominent representatives of Russian humanitarian thought. The methodological base of the study included the principles of historicism, objectivity, connection, and continuity of phenomena and processes. The authors of the study analyzed the content of the ideas of prosociality in the Russian humanitarian thought of the 19th century from the standpoint of intellectual history. The study used such special methods of historical research as textological analysis, historical-genetic and historical-comparative methods. Results. The authors of the study traced the crystallization and comprehension of such prosocial categories as goodness, charity, kindness, altruism, social service, and others, as well as their role in the formation of a moral personality. In addition, the ideological origins and specific historical conditions for the development of prosocial ideas among the progressive public of the 19th century were revealed. Special attention was paid to the analysis of their views on the system of educating a person with developed prosocial qualities, which included not only theoretical aspects but also quite specific practical proposals. The study concluded that in the 19th century, against the background of the development and flourishing of social thought, there was an active and very fruitful theoretical understanding of a wide range of prosocial concepts. The ideological basis of these reflections were Orthodox values and traditional collectivist attitudes common in Russian society. Conclusion. As a result of the study, the concepts of “welfare”, “goodness”, “altruism”, “love”, and “social service” were for the first time systematically identified in the works of Russian intellectuals in the humanities of the 19th century as structural components of prosociality. The presence in the Russian intellectual tradition (cultural tradition) of the concept of goodness, being the theoretical basis for the introduction of prosociality into modern helping practices and behavior, was revealed. The presence of this concept predetermined the readiness of the Russian enlightened community of the 19th century to perceive the humanistic ideas of prosociality through its cultural code. For the first time, continuity between the Russian pre-revolutionary and modern traditions of the formation of prosociality in humanitarian thought was proven. It was identified that in the Russian public thought of the 19th century, the concept of goodness was understood as an active principle associated with broad social service in a wide variety of areas.
19世纪俄国人道主义思想中亲社会主义思想的概念化
介绍。本研究的相关性取决于在维护和发展俄罗斯社会的团结和凝聚力的同时对亲社会价值观的需求,以及需要参考俄罗斯的历史经验,包括尚未引起研究者足够重视的方面。本研究旨在探讨19世纪俄罗斯人道主义思想中亲社会思想的起源、演变及其内容。材料和方法。这项研究使用了大量的数据,这些数据来自俄罗斯人道主义思想的一些杰出代表的教育学、心理学、新闻、哲学和其他著作。该研究的方法论基础包括历史决定论原则、客观性原则、联系原则和现象与过程的连续性原则。本文从思想史的角度分析了19世纪俄罗斯人道主义思想中亲社会主义思想的内容。本研究运用了考据分析法、历史-发生法和历史-比较法等特殊的历史研究方法。结果。该研究的作者追踪了善良、慈善、善良、利他主义、社会服务等亲社会类别的结晶和理解,以及它们在道德人格形成中的作用。此外,还揭示了19世纪进步大众亲社会思想发展的思想根源和具体的历史条件。特别注意分析了他们对培养亲社会素质的人的制度的看法,这不仅包括理论方面,而且包括相当具体的实践建议。研究认为,在19世纪社会思想发展和繁荣的背景下,对亲社会概念的广泛理论认识是活跃而富有成果的。这些反思的思想基础是俄罗斯社会普遍存在的东正教价值观和传统的集体主义态度。结论。研究的结果是,“福利”、“善良”、“利他主义”、“爱”和“社会服务”等概念首次在19世纪俄罗斯人文学科知识分子的著作中被系统地确定为亲社会的结构组成部分。俄罗斯知识传统(文化传统)中善的概念的存在,是将亲社会引入现代帮助实践和行为的理论基础。这一概念的存在预先决定了19世纪的俄罗斯开明社会通过其文化代码来感知亲社会的人文主义思想的准备。第一次证明了俄国革命前和现代人道主义思想中亲社会性形成传统之间的连续性。人们认为,在19世纪的俄罗斯公众思想中,善良的概念被理解为与广泛领域的广泛社会服务相关的积极原则。
