The author

On the basis of modern theories of civilization widely used in historical, culturological and philosophical investigations, the author demonstrates some potentialities of application of civilized approach to theoretical and applied ethnosociology. Such method allows to broaden theoretico-cognitive, prognostic, practico-transformative and elucidative functions of this science.

At different levels of analysis

The authors demonstrate that a clear view of the socio-cultural type of interaction is a subsequent concrete definition of civilized approach. In this connection, one ought to distinguish historical peculiarities of concrete manifestations of the socio-cultural type (for instance, the Eurasian one) and its own content, invariant in respect of ethnic substratum and landscape. As an example of such invariance the authors examine Hellenism (prototype of the socio-cultural type). The structural identity of Hellenism and Turkic-Slavonic synthesis are analysed, as well as the role of Eurasian idea of brotherhood of peoples is emphasized.

The authors carry out analysis of the role of science and education in the processes of inter-regional and inter-ethnic integration in Russia. Their investigation demonstrates that intensive strengthening and broadening of scientific co-ordinated actions by means of new information technologies is a display of real integration of ethnoses in the person of representatives of national scientific intelligentsia; the integrating functions of education are stipulated by the fact that the latter is obligatory and accessible to every citizen of Russia independently of his or her ethnic origin. The authors draw to the conclusion that the system of education, as well as science and scientific association, as far as possible, are the factors keeping up and strengthening the processes of inter-ethnic unity, integration of the multinational Russian State.

Meanwhile, myths of the later periods of formation are blessed with artistic form and clearly seen composition construction of their plots.
