Theory, discourse, process

Abstract

The article substantiates the necessity of post-non-classical, heterogeneous approach to the problem of conceptualization of modern social cognition, the essence of which is discursivity. Modern society is represented by a decentered, multidimensional reality composed of singular units. Post-non-classical social paradigms are necessary in order to come closer to understanding modern social processes, the main carriers of which are people driven by unique characteristics and qualities; and to develop humanistic, human-dimensional tactics and strategies for the future development of mankind. Being is given as co-being. An event is a given being, which is not the basis of this being. Thus, essence rests on difference. Essence is not a model of a thing, but a process, not of creation, but of becoming. Social being appears as an event that precedes essence. Being unfolds as an implicit, virtual process of becoming. Self-organizing, being retreats into uncertainty. The heterological dimension of being is a radical cognitive inversion in socio-philosophical discourse, associated with the rejection of stability of social being and the transition to its living processuality and discursivity.
