Socio-political Ideals in Publicism: Ideal Models of an Open Society and a “Person Political”

Abstract

The problem of analyzing the classification of socio-political pictures of the world of modern domestic publicists seems to us extremely important. Despite the fact that today in science there is a certain interest in studying the worldview positions of Russian authors, however, it should be noted, on the one hand, their obvious lack, and on the other hand, excessive, in our opinion, fragmentation of the value-ideological field of journalism, which does not allow reveal deep links between individual author's socio-political pictures of the world. To solve this problem, it is proposed to apply a binary approach to the typology of the author's political consciousness, which takes into account its fundamental characteristics. As a conceptual and terminological base, the categories of the so-called "open" and "closed" societies are used, as certain ideals, fundamental in nature, to which this or that publicist gravitates. The theoretical and conceptual basis of the study is the theory of ideal modeling. The purpose of the work is to create abstract models of an "open" society, as well as social behavior and consciousness of its basic social type "political person". As a result, we have built ideal socio-political models of an open society, as well as traits of consciousness and options for social behavior of a “political person”. The results of the study can become the basis for further research of journalistic texts and the classification of author's pictures of the world.
