Activist Approach to Will Interpretation in the Context of Social and Philosophical Methodology of Analysis

Abstract

In the article evolution of will and volitional processes comprehension in motivational, regulative and activist paradigms is observed. In the research work much attention is paid to formation of activist approach to will comprehension in soviet scientific paradigm. Activist approach which is connected with Marxist-Leninist comprehension of will as basis of active transforming activity was formed at the intersection of psychology, sociology and social philosophy. Within activist approach will is interpreted as the basis of conscious activity of a social subject that is being done in accordance with the realization of the goal. In such an interpretation, will and volitional activity appear to be the means to overcome obstacles in the sphere of natural and social reality. At the same time supporters of an activist approach consider one of the elements of the volitional process i.e. its conscious and purposeful character, mediation of the will of the interests and needs of the subject, activating character of will etc to be the basis of the volitional activity of the social subject. It is stated by the author that significant influence on the genesis of the activist comprehension of will and volitional activity was made by Yu. Weinhold, L. Koretska, V. Ojgenziht, A. Pidsivna, Sh. Chkhartishvili. In the article post soviet scientific paradigm analysis of social and political will comprehension in a situation of global transitivity of modern society is emphasized (research works of O. Vodolagin, L. Gozman, O. Kryzhanivska).
