Abstract
The problem of stages (phases, levels) of the development of contradictions in social systems in the scientific literature is not sufficiently developed. Especially this is true for social systems of transitional type, which are in the process of structural change. Most researchers, considering this question, use the ideas of Hegel on the passage of the contradictions in their development stages of identity, differences, contrasts, contradictions and the base (ie, resolving the contradiction). The positive aspects of this approach include the fact that it will provide an opportunity to trace the dialectic of identity and difference of opposite sides of the conflict, the stages of knowledge of real contradictions of reality. However, Hegel’s scheme of selection of stages in the development of contradictions and its use in the analysis of the contradictions of social development is clearly outdated. In modern foreign philosophy and sociology study of the stages of development of social contradictions is done by the system analysis of conflicts and the phases of their aging. In the development of conflict, usually there are four basic steps: latent phase (subkonflikt), voltage phase, antagonism phase, phase of incompatibility, which is a direct conflict. This approach certainly has a right to exist, particularly in sociological researches. However, the shift of focus from contradictions to conflicts greatly complicates the philosophical analysis of social systems. To investigate the nature of social contradictions there must not only be the analyze of the stages (phases, levels) of the development of contradictions, but the analyze their specific aggregate states. Under the state of aggregation of social contradictions should understand the specifics of the interaction of its sides, which determines the features of their development, as well as the character of the resolution of this contradiction. This approach to development of contradictions reveals the following forms of aggregate states: 1) harmony; 2) disharmony; 3) conflict. It is necessary to consider the harmony, disharmony, conflict not as the stages (phases, levels) of deployment of contradictions, but as a forms of their manifestation on the stage of polarization of opposite sides of contradictions. Since the form has relative independence in relation to the contents, the connection of contradiction state (as a form) with its content (polarization of opposites) has not hard, but mobile character. The same contradiction can be in different states – from harmony to conflict. Thus, the aggregate state of contradiction is determined by the interaction of opposite sides, a combination of «direction vector» of opposites. In the process of a society development two opposite principles are interacting: the stabilizing beginning and the dissipative, destructive beginning. The most important destructive factor is the conflict and stabilizing factor – social harmony. In this mechanism of the evolution, harmony and conflict are extreme conditions of social contradictions, who play the role of equalizers, promote dynamic equilibrium and the development of society and its subsystems.
