Principle of economic development in context of post-modernism situation

Abstract

In work is considered the principle of economic development in situation of postmodernism. Actuality of addressing to theme is stipulated by the failure of modernism project in XX century, which in the light of situation of post modernism that replaced it had required the re-consideration of category heritage of modernism, including the principle of development. An important peculiarity of this requirement happened to be the fact that it is dictated not only by logic of theoretic thought development but by the practice of history itself too. That's why the addressing to development in economic, the the ability of its existence in it itself and search for its model in contemporary conditions of post-modernism is an actual task, without study of which is impossible to speak about a goal-directed search for solution of economic problems in XXI century. The objective of work consists in consideration and analysis of approaches to understanding of development principle used in economic-philosophical literature in prism of situation of post-modernism, in grounding of demand of development issue solution and designation of method of such solution possibility in frames of post-modernism itself. Author distinguishes four approaches to understanding of the development in his work: dialectical, pendulum, post-modernist and contemplative. These approaches are reduced to major two: dialectical approach and contemplative-practical approach, inherent for situation of postmodernism. In each of this positions are market strong and weak sides, conclusions are made about the fact that none of them is prevails the other and is not presenting the solution of development problem in situation of post-modernism. Also in the work is proved that postmodernism need the development principle and search for its model capable to provide the consequential activity in situation of ruptured being, which confirmation is the addressing to the identity concept that is a temporary solution of this task. As one of the possibilities of its solution in the future, in the work is proposed a consideration of development problem through prism of proportion of categories of single (unique) and general.
