An Attempted Denomination of the Axiological Characteristics of the Theory of Rural Social Development in the society of the Future (Outline of the Subject Matter).
Damrosz, Jerzy
The tempo of social change is ever more rapid and the rate of technico-economic change is still more rapid. But the transformation of man's psychosomatic system takes place much more slowly. Therefore, the theoretical premises of the development of the rural areas and of the local community should be considered on that background. The pressure of new phenomena in the sphere of the theory of needs and the maturing of new problems demanding solutions both on the scale of the local community and of the society as a whole, requires new theoretical methodological as well as programmatic and sociotechnical solutions. There is no universal theory able to generalize the law of social development by abstracting from the current accumulated stock of knowledge, way of thinking, and the range of ignorance. It is thus periodically necessary to verify the theoretical formulations, disclose doubts, and work out new theoretical ideas and modes of action. This applies to situations when the procedure of cognition of the social reality is improved and when an attempt is made to transform that reality. This paper discusses the determination of the content of the principal theoretical premises; the village as a scientific problem and social value of interdisciplinary research; the village and the humanist accounting; and the role of the village in the planning society and models of the future civilization.
