The Philosophy of Civilizations: Culture and Economics

Culture, economy, and finance - these are the basic social phenomena that express the profound meaning of the existence of human society. They are so multi-faceted that the deeper the cognitive mind immersed itself in their study, the more limitless and concealed the essence becomes. It is the understanding of these phenomena that man pursues in the search for answers to the questions posed by modern society. The complex interrelationships of cultural, economic and financial activities mostly determine human development. This book is a compilation of the search for the original cultural value and development of human society as the unity of the original local civilizations, which have their cultural and economic systems. The operational foundation of the fundamental principles of this research is a civilizational approach, initially offered by the Russian philosopher N.Y. Danilevski, and following O. Spengler's and A. Toynbee's example, became the original foundation of the modern Western science of civilizations. This approach allows us to consider the historical unity of various local civilizations in diversity.Trofimova Roksana Pavlovna - Doctor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.The author has written more than 300 scientific works on philosophy, culturology and the general theory of linguistics.
