CIVILIZATIONAL PARADIGM IN THE CONDITIONS OF GLOBAL TRANSFORMATIONS: PHILOSOPHICAL-METHODOLOGICAL DETERMINATION OF SOCIAL STABILITY

This article examines the civilizational paradigm of social development as an object of socio-philosophical analysis amidst global transformations and social turbulence. The author substantiates the civilizational approach not merely as a historical-chronological sequence, but as a fundamental methodological framework that ensures the internal stability (homeostasis) of the social system. The research elucidates the integrative functions of civilizational determinants in social life and demonstrates that the system of spiritual and moral values constitutes the conceptual core of social stability. The findings presented in the article hold theoretical and practical significance for developing strategies for inter-civilizational dialogue and preventing social crises.
