The civilizational approach to the study of history and culture: Eurasian vision

Kolomyts Dmitry Mikhailovich, Kolomyts Olga Grigorievna

The article is devoted to the consideration of the civilizational approach presented in the Eurasian theory. The methodologies of behaviorism, Freudianism and postmodernism, which were widespread in social science at the end of the XX and the beginning of the XXI century, do not allow us to draw deep conclusions about the ways of social development. The scientific potential is preserved by Marxist and civilizational methodology. In this case, we will talk about the civilizational approach, namely its Eurasian vision. Eurasianism has developed some provisions of the civilizational approach about the self-sufficiency of civilizations, their life as a system of interaction of material and spiritual components.
