PREFACE Collection of articles by the modern Russian
philosopher, a well-known expert in the field of social philosophy and global
studies Professor A.N. Chumakov is composed on the basis of his reports and
lectures given by him in different years at Beijing pedagogical University
and at conferences in different cities of China. A.N. Chumakov gained wide
popularity in Russia and abroad, thanks to his research of globalization
processes and global problems of our time. In the second half of the
twentieth century, when active global studies were just beginning, he was one
of the first in the field of philosophy to defend his PhD and then his
doctoral thesis on global issues, and his book "Philosophy of global
problems" (M.: Knowledge, 1994) in 1995 was translated into Chinese and
became one of the first translated works in China on this topic. Also of
great importance for the development of global studies were his natural
history theory of globalization, which he described in his monographs, and a
series of fundamental international reference books on globalism, the
initiator and editor-in-chief of which he is. The value of this collection is that for the
first time it shows in such detail and from different sides a new
interdisciplinary scientific direction – globalism, which was finally formed
in recent decades and has firmly taken its special place in the system of
modern scientific knowledge. The main task of globalism, as can be seen from
the content of the proposed book, is to study from the perspective of various
Sciences of global processes, globalization and global problems of mankind.
At the same time, philosophy plays an extremely important role, which allows
us to look at the modern world as a whole, where man and society are
considered as an integral part of the biosphere, organically connected with
the Geosphere of the Earth and space. Philosophy, thus, forms a new worldview
of people, shows their changed situation in the modern world and orients
(aims) to change their behavior and attitude to the environment, which is
degraded under the influence of economic activity of the rapidly growing
population of the planet. Professor A.N. Chumakov was one of the first to
point out the fundamental difference between the regulation and management of
social systems and attempted to explore the possibility of global governance
in the modern world, where national States defend their interests by opposing
each other. In addition to this topic,
the collection also presents another idea of the author, according to which at
the present stage only cultural and civilizational dialogue can ensure the
peaceful coexistence of global humanity and make effective its efforts in
achieving sustainable development and prosperity for all. In
addition to the actual problems of globalism and the role of philosophy in
interdisciplinary research, the Chinese reader will be interested to get
acquainted with the General state of Affairs in modern Russian philosophy,
with its main directions and problems that it discusses today. Particular
attention is paid to the Russian philosophical society, which unites more
than five thousand members and is the largest philosophical organizations in
the world. The value of this book lies in the fact that about the Russian
philosophy and the Philosophical society tells A.N. Chumakov, who in 1987 was
elected General Secretary of the Philosophical Society of the USSR, and since
1991 till now he is the First Vice-President of the Russian Philosophical
Society. The
book will undoubtedly be interesting to a wide range of readers who are
concerned about the current problems of the modern world and their
understanding from the standpoint of philosophy. Zhang Baichun, Doctor
of Philosophy, Professor, Beijing
