Why is it important?
The author proves that the theoretical developments in the Russian sociology are possible as a derivative from the development of questions, which are raised nowadays in worldwide science, but possible in a view of original development of questions, which were raised in worldwide science in the past. The Russian sociology represents a part of the European humanities, which is based on the various forms of theoretical combat or agonality. The author shows the ways out of the theoretical combat or agonality. The research clarifies the perspectives for increasing of the knowledge-based society in Russia.
Perspectives
The author analyzes the concept of Russia as a paradigmatic society, particularly in the context of transition economies. In general, the author concludes that the pro-argument with respect to theoretical developments is weaker than the contra-argument with respect to theoretical developments. This paper has revealed the model within which extreme positions can be reconciled.
