КУЛТУРНО–КОМУНИКАЦИОННОТО ПОЛЕ И СОЦИАЛНАТА ПРОМЯНА

The report addresses two major problems of the social sciences and humanities. The first is the essence of human communication, and the second is the source and mechanisms of social change. The report argues the opinion that communication is the basis of the formation of human mentality, on which a specific human cultural-communication field is built. The latter is the mechanism through which social dynamics take place. In defense of these positions, the report proposes the hypotheses of the Cultural-Communication Field and the Monopoly Model of Social Development. However, the focus is placed on the relationship between these two levels of manifestation of human vital functions – the level of formation of mentality and the level of its physical manifestation within the framework of the historical process
