The paper raises some debatable questions concerning social interests as a social phenomenon. The concept of social interest is defined as an individual’s (personality/group/community) value-rational attitude to wards preservation (maintenance/reproduction/development/enhancement) of the ways of living and modes of behavior in society. Structurally, an individual’s value-rational attitude includes two determinants: (1) an individual’s social status, objectively determined and subjectively interiorized; (2) subjective disposition to implement the intention of activity.
