Social justice as a civilizational value of the ethos of Russia

Abstract

Introduction. The appeal to the topic of social justice today is due to the fact that a huge mission is assigned to teachers, educators of various levels, especially teachers of the humanities, in the face of unprecedented destructive information impact on young people. The task of preserving and strengthening traditional Russian spiritual and moral values has been set by the government of the country. Purpose. Actualization of the value of the ideal of social justice, preservation, strengthening and development of the ethos of Russian civilization, countering threats to the all-Russian national identity in the context of the formation of a multipolar world. Theoretical Basis. The methodological basis of the study is the general principle of historicism, the hermeneutic method as reading and interpreting philosophical texts; comparative analysis, which makes it possible to compare different historical eras, cultures, societies, civilizations. The key philosophical concepts of social justice of Russian thinkers of the XIX-XXI centuries are distributed according to the historical and personal basis. Of great methodological significance for our study is the concept of constructing "ideal types" by M. Weber as a theoretical scheme of the phenomenon under study and a kind of "standard", "model", "example". Results and conclusions. The article reveals the key directions in understanding the ideal of social justice in the concepts of Russian thinkers as a revelation of the Christian commandments, as a principle of a new life, as a principle of social relations. The spiritual and practical forms of existence of the ideal of social justice and the possibility of its realization in society are analyzed. The importance of the study increases in the context of the collision of two global trends: the aspirations of non-Western civilizations to form a multipolar world and the spread of the ideology of mondialism against the background of the global hybrid war being waged by aggressive Western forces, an integral part of which is a mental war aimed at dividing Russian society and blurring national identity. The reality of social justice is a guarantor of the preservation of Russia's national identity. The most important value in modern conditions is the realization of the ideals of social justice as a condition for consolidating and preserving the integrity of Russian civilization in the face of external threats.
