Еще раз к вопросу: "Что такое общество?"

Abstract

Modern sociology asserts the method to analyze social processes based upon the comprehension of society as a form of impersonal reflectivity. The following concepts such as “imaginative social meanings” (Kastoriadis), “energy and transcendence resources” (Baumann), “imaginative communities” (Anderson), extend categorical horizon of sociology as well as become an important element for understanding of the human world, society, and culture. In order to understand a special type of being inherent in social processes one should reorganize traditional logic and ontology. Distinguishing characteristics of society are to seek in the meanings, senses, and “eidoses” that impart unique character to the society as well as determine its identity and structure.
