Article 1st.
Protosocialnost of the ancient world

Abstract.  The article introduces the concept of "protosociality". In the framework of cultural and historical reconstruction of sociality, the latter is regarded as a precursor in historical development and subsequent different whole, rather than the stage of development of one whole. The first whole, actually social, is formed in ancient culture, its prerequisites and previous conditions are considered by the author as protosociality. Empirical material for the analysis of protosociality gives research on the culture of the Ancient Kingdoms, and ideas for the reconstruction of this material are characteristics of the sociological approach that the author lists. A number of features of protosociality are discussed: basic coherent representations (belief in the gods); Characteristics of social collectives (they do not develop by themselves, but presuppose the formulation of new meanings and special activities, are created on the basis of ideas of rigid vertical management, differentiated through the specialization of communities); life support systems (ideology, economy, training). The factors determining the change in sociality and the life cycle of social organisms of protosociality are analyzed.
