Historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history and global social and geopolitical processes

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to understand historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history of the essence of modern global social and geopolitical processes and study. The methodology of this work is based on the principles, complementarity, structurality, dialogicity and methods of philosophical hermeneutics, systemic-structural, and interdisciplinary. Research results. The study of multifaceted scientific concepts of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history forms the basis for their fruitful application in the field of understanding global social and geopolitical dynamics. Historical-anthropological theories provide intelligence and understanding of social and geopolitical processes with the potential of analyzing their causal relationships. The intellectual impact of geopolitical research on research from historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history significantly contributes to the actualization of the understanding of mental factors of historical dynamics both in the dimensions of “local civilizations” and global socio-political processes. It is quite logical to study the impact of the psychological and cultural factor on the social and geopolitical development and cultural achievements of the civilizational communities of the ancient world and on the global historical processes of dynamics and their projection on the global social and geopolitical dynamics. The integration of the analysis of the mental and cultural plane of the development of “local civilizations” and its actualization in the exploration of modern geopolitical processes will contribute to a more relevant understanding of the historical development of civilizational communities and modern social and geopolitical transformations and prospects for their future development. In the studies of the mentioned problems, the dialogue between the concepts of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history and geopolitical theoretical approaches in the space of understanding the causality and essence of historical processes and their significance for global social and geopolitical processes is of great importance. It should be noted the cognitive potential of applying the concepts of geopolitics in research from historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history. Thus, the analysis of the influence of geopolitical factors on the mental and cultural plane of historical dynamics is a fundamentally important component of understanding the causality of the formation of civilizational communities and their social and geopolitical development. The impact of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history on the study of social and geopolitical development is carried out in understanding the significance of its mental and cultural plane. The influence of the conceptual approaches of historical anthropology on geopolitical theories is realized in the actualization of studies of the psychological and cultural horizon of the geopolitical dynamics of “local civilizations” that make up the modern world order. The reverse influence of the concepts of geopolitics on historical and anthropological research is manifested in the integration of the analysis of mental-cultural and spatial-geographical aspects of understanding the causality and content of historical processes.
