Contradictions of modern Russian society: axiological aspect

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of the values of modern society in general, and Russian society in particular. It is shown that the culture of modern society is deprived of a system-forming center. In a culture of this type, human values are not taken into account. The value of freedom degenerates into individualization, and the value of equality into a normative value, into identification. In the situation of spreading the same values to different cultures, the problem of preserving the uniqueness of Russian society and culture arises. It is noted that the Russian society itself should be a value. For that, it is necessary that the values emanating from the state be in harmony with the values of society. Using the example of external signs of value features in such spheres of modern society as the state, economy, education, science, it is shown that the specificity of modern society, consisting in its "fluidity" and orientation to practice, does not allow members of our society to accept the high ideals declared by the state.
