Device/resistance. Philosophical essays. Smirnov I.P.

In times of great shocks, the question of two ways to interact with the surrounding context - adaptation and resistance is especially acute. In the book of Professor I.P. Smirnova adaptive and protest strategies for human behavior are considered as the realization of the possibilities laid down in our self -awareness. Along with the adaptation and resistance, at the angle of philosophical anthropology, such closely related sociocultural phenomena as violence, consumer-hedonistic attitude towards life, succession in the conditions of the variability of historical situations are also understood in the book. The work completes the section on the unconscious, which serves the author with a prerequisite for discussing the issue of the formation of self -awareness.
