Dialectics of social being and social consciousness
|
|
1 |
Society is a rational system composed by two
sub-systems - social being and social consciousness, which have very
complicated strictures of sub-sub-systems.
|
|
2 |
Knowledge is consciousness information and real
engine of social evolution. |
|
3 |
Accumulation of knowledge makes society more complex,
which insist changes in existed social structure in both sub-systems
- social being (economy) and social consciousness (culture). |
|
4 |
Subjective (human) factor is small elite of
decision-makers called power elite. |
|
5 |
Reason (human factor) creates hierarchical
structures; complexity of society create heterarchical network of
newly emerged sub-systems. |
|
6 |
The power elite create hierarchical structure based
on core values like slavery, land, religion, politics and money. |
|
7 |
Newly accumulated knowledge or social creativity
expands complexity of society and necessity of heterarchical changes
in social structure. |
|
8 |
The social evolution is due to clash between
objective tendency to heterarchy and subjective tendency of
hierarchy. |
|
9 |
In general terms the course of social evolution is
from man-created (power elite) hierarchy to objective-created
heterarchy. |
|
10 |
Hierarchical development is quantitative process of
accumulation of knowledge. Transition to heterarchy is qualitative
leap to new social stricture and power elite. |
|
11 |
Transition from autocracy to democracy and from
democracy to netocracy is inevitable due to increased complexity of
society. |
|
12 |
The basic contradiction of Feudal society is between
inheritance and power. Inherited power creates hierarchical social
structure up to Absolute monarchy. Resolution of this contradiction
is in transition from Absolute to Constitutional monarchy i.e.
separation of inheritance and power. This transition is qualitative
leap from autocracy to democracy. |
|
13 |
Dominant form of social consciousness for Agrarian
societies is religion (poly- and monotheism). Dominant form of
social consciousness for industrial societies is politics. |
|
14 |
Most important factors in Industrial society are
political power and money. Absolutisation of political power lead to
Fascism and Communism. Both systems are already history due to
absoluisation itself. |
|
15 |
The basic contradiction of Capitalism is between
financial capital and power. Unlawful marriage between money and
political power create corporatocracy, which is form of “Absolute capitalism”.
Resolution of this basic contradiction is in separation between
money and political power. |
|
16 |
Liberal economy, plutocracy and corporatocracy create
wealth, but destroy social moral. |
|
17 |
The basic contradiction of Technological civilisation
is between exponentially rising of knowledge and increasing
vulnerability of society. Resolving this contradiction is in
transition from money-driven to knowledge-based society.
|
|
18 |
The power is decision-making process. Separation of
money and power is possible trough creation of decision-making
social networks. Such networks are historical equivalent of elected
parliaments, and first step in transition from degenerated democracy
(corporatocracy) to Netocracy. |
