Classical, Nonclassical and Post-Nonclassical Culture: A New Typology (Part 1)

Abstract. Similarly to a model of the typology of science, the article presents a classification of culture, including those classical, non-classical and post-nonclassical, being based on various interpretations of truth, good and evil, and a preferred social order. The author argues that in its cognitive potential the new model of the typology of cultures is highly competitive with the other ones.

Keywords: culture, truth, good and evil, social order, classical culture, nonclassical culture, post-nonclassical culture. Культура, истина, добро и зло, социальное устроение общества, классическая, неклассическая, постнеклассическая культуры.
