| Annotation | The article proves that the most common models of society are its atomic and substantival doctrines, and cooperative conception. The first two are one-sided, unable to explain relevant characteristics of the society: atomic — its procedural nature, origin of the social from the individual, and substantival — specific human dimensionality of the society. Thus, they follow the cooperative conception in heuristic potential, measure of validity and certainty. Cooperative conception of the society presents it as a self-regulating procedural system of social interaction of individuals in consequence of necessity to satisfy their immanent needs, as well as of other communicative effects. The principle of its self-reference is the basis for the cooperative model of the society, while its two other models — atomic and substantival — are forced to invoke the search of the off-human factors of the society emergence, or to represent it as a mechanistic formation. Historical experience of the existence of human societies proves the genuine character of the cooperative model of explanation of their nature. |
