Civilization and Barbarism

Over the centuries, the development of historical and philosophical thought were opened, described and studied over a thousand different civilizations and created a lot of concepts and theories of civilizations. One of them is a binary theory of their origin and development. It originated in the basement - "premised" knowledge - the binary paradigm of the philosophy of history, according to which history and the modern world, there are two main types of civilizations - the anthropogenically-collectivist and individualistic man-caused. The first is dominated by the collective-state mode of production in the second - a private individual. Each of these two types of civilizations alternately played in the history of mankind is the leading role, the role of the slave, depending on conditions, time and place. Thus, during its ascent and development of each of the civilizations has played a leading role, and during the descent and decay - becomes a slave. Ontologically, they are equal, but concretely and historically are always unequal in value, efficiency and creative role in the history of humanity, nation, state, and any other community of people - from the farming community to a world empire.

The historic role of every civilization is determined by its dominant social properties. In human civilizations is collectivism, social security, the dominance of public ownership, productive manufacturing, ohranitelstvo (savings), the primacy of politics to the economy, higher social feelings - to emotions, spiritual - in front of the material, production - before distribution. In technological civilizations is individualism, personal freedom, the dominance of private property, "pirate activity", profligacy, the primacy of the economy to politics, intelligence - to the highest social feelings, emotions - in front of the mind, the material - the spiritual, distribution - before production. But most of all civilizations are two types differ in their social orientation of the productive activity of the creative elite of the society: "In the human civilizations of the creators of ideas - writers, poets, composers, scientists, philosophers, ideocracy - valued higher performers. In technological civilizations - artists, interpreters, commentators, priests, propagandists, imitators, fortune-tellers, manipulators, advertising and informokraty virtuosos - are valued higher than the creators. In technological civilizations valued above intelligence, and man-made - the heart "(VK Bakshutov philosophy of history: the binary paradigm. Ekaterinburg, 2003. S. 815).The properties and qualities of people of different civilizations are described and analyzed in the historical development since the appearance of a person to present a 45-volume "History of Civilizations." This edition was started in 1920 in Paris, director of "Libraries of historical synthesis" philosopher A. Burr. Soon he was joined by many prominent scholars of England, the United States and other countries in Europe, Asia and America. This series of books is the first edition of a classic on the history of civilizations and the most complete on the number of historical facts and analyzed the theories and concepts that allow us to see the background and history of civilizations, to understand their causes, and death. A great place is given to the relationship civilization and barbarism, East and West. In 1996 a series of "History of Civilizations" was reprinted. It included new research on Eastern and Western civilizations and the history of pre-scientific knowledge. In the last decades of the twentieth century. established scientific and popular series of "Great Civilization" in which distinguished scientists have published research on most major world civilizations, directing them not only specialists but also to a wider audience. Note that scientific language is truly transforming the world of science, and when it is clear and uneducated. In the twentieth century. of civilizations written more than in all previous history from the time of writing. The reasons for this interest in the civilizations will become clear from what follows. In the meantime, pay attention to the most important historical facts related to the emergence and development of civilization and barbarism ... known in the scientific literature.The time of origin of the main properties that characterize civilization and barbarism, is an epoch of transition from animal-assigning of consumer activity, gathering and hunting to a productive, productive economy in the agricultural and pastoral communities. Farming communities have laid the foundation stone of anthropogenically-collectivist civilization, while the nomadic pastoral communities - at the base of technologically-individualist civilization. It was a revolutionary period of transition of the dominant in the historical development of mankind from natural, biological relationship to the social, the natural inequality of biological specimens to the social inequality of people. It was the first social revolution in human history. But she already had the main features of all subsequent revolutions: the replacement of one type of inequality by another, more perfect and fruitful, anarchy in the relations between people. "Primitive man was not free more than a servant: he was bound hand and foot by invisible chains stronger than iron, and was always under the invisible whip, more rigid than the overseer whip. It was a paralyzing poison tribal precepts, traditions, customs, inherited notions. Slavery was in this sense is a step forward, because the slave owners feared the slaves at least in part, while the people of primitive society would not even know that he wears a yoke "(BF Porshnev About the beginning of human history / / Philosophical problems of historical science. M ., 1969. S. 94).The remote human ancestors were herbivores. But at a certain stage of anthropogenesis, even in the biological evolution, they have adapted to the assimilation of meat, which is very accelerated anthropogenesis. Meanwhile, in the area of ​​their habitat has occurred a major environmental catastrophe: the large herbivores died out, the bodies which, eaten by predators, were the main source of meat our ancestors - necrophagy. Access to the brain and bone marrow of large elephant, which weighed about 300 - 500 kg, human ancestors were still at the stage of biological evolution, thanks to five-fingered upper limbs, instinctively grasp the rough stone. But mammoths and elephants became extinct, and the need for a meat diet of human ancestors survived. Since that time, the development has gone on the road paleanthropines violation of the fundamental laws of natural, biological development. "The people - the only species in which to systematically practiced mutual mortification" (Porshnev BF Ordinance. Op. Pp. 109 - 110). It began at that distant time of transition in the dominant development of biological anthropology to the social and remains, alas, so far. Meat table and survival of the strongest part of the population were provided by the murder of children, the elderly, and then the women and weak adult members of the herd, and, later, of the tribe. According to the hypothesis B. Porshnev, "human history began with cannibalism, with the rapacity, unnatural aimed at members of the same - then still single - species. In paleoantropovom - before "sinless" - there was a herd of forced, due to external environmental circumstances, the transition to the predatory behavior towards members of the same species "(Didenko BA Ethnic anthropology (vidizm). M., 2003. C. 5 .)"Predatory" behavior in the strong paleoantropovom herd, and then in the labor community was expressed not only in the physical cannibalism: it extended to a wider network of relationships between people. In the transition from farming to producing appropriating, productive economy, predatory minority of the herd, and then the community begins to take from the weak passive majority made their livelihood. "Within society arose unilateral current wealth - of those who procured them, those who consume them only" (Porshnev BF Ordinance. Op. C 107). Thus the human race was divided into two types - "breadwinners" and "kormimyh" (Didenko BA Ordinance. Op. Pp. 15, 33, 226, 256, 308). So, with the birth of human society, and there were notable hudorodnye, rich and poor, consumers and creators of "drones and workers" (Saint-Simon, Selected essays. Moscow, Leningrad, 1948. S. 83). And all the people of the world and they have created social and political organizations are also divided into two hostile camps - the barbarism and civilization - which are between a continuous war for its place in human society. Each of these branches has many social positive and negative features. At the beginning of the article mentioned about two types of civilizations - the man-made and man-made. To complete the picture should be named and two species of barbarism - innate (or primary) barbarism, based on the natural properties of men, and acquired (or secondary) barbarism occurring during extinction and destruction of civilizations. Barbarism of the two types of its main characteristics, social functions and values ​​opposed to civilization:A. Barbarian and barbaric society consumes more than it produces, by assigning the material and spiritual wealth created by the civilized man and society. The civilized man and civilized state, on the contrary, produce more than they consume. This "gain" is the material and spiritual basis for the ascending and progressive development of man and mankind.Two. Barbarian and barbaric society are aggressive in their social nature, as they always have to fill the shortfall of their own livelihood. The civilized man and civilized society always take a defensive, guarding foreign and domestic policies. Civilized Chinese at the time created the famous Great Wall, defending against attacks of the northern barbarians. Today, they created a new defensive system, power is a thousand times faster than the old walls. This - the revived anthropogenically collectivist civilization with dominant collective-state mode of production theory developed by Lenin and virtually personified by Deng Xiaoping. (Today half of humanity is on the way.) As China produces more than it consumes, it has no objective physical reason for wars of aggression.Three. Barbarian and barbaric society relate to the world of things in accordance with the principle of Roman Abramovich - "someday I'll buy the whole world" (Dorofeev V. The principle of Abramovich. Talent to make money. M., 2010. S. 19). The civilized man and civilized society are things on the principle of Terence - "I prefer not to have anything extra," as the extra stuff - is a tool of human corruption, which leads him to spiritual degeneration, the "brutality", the psychology and practice of the savage and barbarian. "Luxury - the medicine that the more bitter than the illness, which it supposedly cures, or, rather, it itself - the worst from all the evils that may exist in the State ... to feed the crowd of servants and the poor, it is generated, it oppresses and impoverishes farmer and citizen ... more dazzle the eyes of the capital of mindless people, the more ought to grieve the soul at the sight of abandoned villages, uncultivated fields and main roads, flooded with unhappy citizens who have turned into beggars or thieves, and doomed to end his life miserable on the wheel, or a pile of manure. So the State, being enriched at the same time weakens and loses a population, and the most powerful monarchy, putting a lot of work to become rich and deserted, eventually becoming a prey of poor nations, which are amenable to malign the temptation to win and, in turn, enriched and weaken themselves as long as they do not win, and not to destroy other peoples' (Rousseau, JJ Treatises. M., 1969. pp. 103 - 104).Here is a bloody path through which the internal and external barbarians confidently follow, mutually replacing each other, destroying civilization and destroying a human creator, the creator of the material and spiritual values ​​- those who produce more than it consumes and creates the conditions on Earth for the immortality of the human . The most tragic time in the life of peoples and civilizations - is when a decrepit barbarians parasites behind people enter into an alliance with the new barbarians, arrogant invaders. Time is usually ends with the death of blooming civilizations, fragments of which become the property of historical museums. Such is the fate of Egyptian, Babylonian, and many other civilizations that have perished from the union bureaucracy of its old barbarian parasites with usury new barbarian invaders.4. Victory barbarians and barbarism has always led to a reduction in population. At a time when the predatory branch established paleanthropines cannibalism, the number of people formed decreased by about 70% or more. In China, at the time of barbarian conquest, the population of the Middle Kingdom declined by 30% and even 50%. In Russia, as a result of the barbaric Zionist-Marxist dictatorship of the Russian lost the 100 million people, the Germans during the Nazi barbarism - a few tens of millions of people. Today, Western barbarians plan to reduce world population at 5 billion to create a "paradise" for the so-called "golden billion". The modern barbarians successfully continue the tradition of the prehistoric society, with its inhumane practices of cannibalism and samoedstvo, which wrote Porshnev and BA Didenko.The first concern of civilized man anthropogenically-collectivist civilization is a concern for the preservation and development of man. Today, it is clearly show the world reviving civilization of the Great Eastern, which follows the path outlined by the most eminent thinkers of humanity. Speaking about the signs of good governance, J.-J. Rousseau wrote: "What is the purpose of political association? Gentle-being of its members. And what is the surest sign that they uberezheny and thrive? This is their strength and growth. Do not look for this sign of the same neighborhood - the subject of so many disputes. All other things being equal, this Board, when no third-party tools, without the right of citizenship, without the citizens of the colonies being fruitful and multiplying, there is no doubt the best. The Board, in which people are reduced in number and is lacking is the worst "(JJ Rousseau, op. Cit. S. 213). In the same year, when Rousseau wrote his treatise, the first Russian scientist MV Lomonosov, speaking about the development of the Russian state, in the foreground makes the preservation and multiplication of the Russian people: "The beginning of this I think the most important thing: the preservation and reproduction of the Russian people, what is the majesty, power and wealth of the entire state, not in the vastness, the vain without inhabitants "(Lomonosov MV Selected Philosophical Works. M., 1950. S. 599). Almost 300 years Russia has been the path indicated by the great thinker, and only after the counter-revolutionary coup d'etat in 1991, when the inner barbarian bureaucrats and foreign barbarians usurers together, openly and removing workers from the government, and from the property, the Russian population for the first time peacetime, was reduced to one million people a year.Since the time of writing of the history and character of these four major civilization and barbarism appear all over the world, both in the West and the East, differing only in some of the nuances of acting and the characters are headed by a clash of civilizations and barbarism. American political scientist Samuel Huntington, expressing the idea of ​​a clash of civilizations, quickly retreated, pressed to the wall with irrefutable facts that contradict his statement, because history is always important clash took place between barbarism and civilization. The clashes also between civilizations, nations, classes, parties and their leaders, the leaders, the real rulers and their puppets have always been, and are just a special case of collision, fight or war between barbarism and civilization. It is these collisions lead to the "end of history", a kind of apocalypse for many peoples and nations. Fukuyama's hypothesis about the end of the story could be true, and it is scientific, if he had the guts to say what about the end of history, he is talking. Most likely, the end of American history and civilization, strangled modern nomadic barbarians, dressed immaculately in a "civilized" jackets - bankers, moneylenders. To see and understand the barbaric nature of the real masters of modern America, we must look at the victories and defeats of Western barbarism in the past three thousand years. This is largely facilitated by the fact that the initial period of this barbaric movement is described in detail in the Old Testament.May 24, 2012VK Bakshutov,
