The works of А. N. Radishchev: A study of economic and anthropological interpretation

Introduction. A. N. Radishchev in his writings lays the foundations of a humanistic study of Russian society and an anthropological understanding of economic orders. Most of the works were not published during his lifetime; the scientific publication of works and the study of views, mainly of a social nature, was undertaken in the 1940s–1950s. The comments emphasized the radical worldview of the thinker, manifested in the literary field. In reality, the enlightener’s work is more multifaceted and covers philosophy, law, history, and economics. Three life periods are distinguished, different in subject matter, but consonant with moral ideas. Theoretical analysis. The first period of writing is characterized by works of social philosophy, fiction and official notes of a legal and economic nature, in which Radishchev’s ambivalent attitude to power, lawmaking and moral values is revealed. The probable coincidence of the enlightener’s views with his European contemporaries (Locke, Diderot, A. Smith, Blackstone) and Russian philosophers (Tatishchev, Storkh) is revealed. Parallels with the works of I. Kant and the categorical apparatus of modern economic anthropology are determined. Empirical analysis. The views of Radishchev and Catherine II are interpreted in a comparative way. It is shown that there are no direct invectives in the “Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow” against the Empress. The works on legislation in the third period of creativity are an adjusted continuation of the works of the first period. The most complete economic and anthropological theme is presented in the essay “On Chinese Bargaining”, which implicitly rejects the principles of the government’s economic policy, which does not take into account the spatial identity of Russia, its civilizational mission and the potential of free enterprise. Results. The writings of A. N. Radishchev anticipate the field of research of modern economic anthropology: the importance of reflection in human behavior, its noumenal and phenomenal representation, historical construction of ways of action and thought, performative thinking, hierarchy and fragmentation of power, structuration of economic (market) relations are taken into consideration. The key concepts are collective faith, feelings and habits, inclinations and individual differences, good-action, objective and subjective interests, reasonableness and rationality in historical refraction. The problems of conciliarity, will, moral imperatives, acquisition of systematic knowledge, necessity of laws, human rights are highlighted as the most important from the position of the enlightener.

 

Institutional portfolio of Russian education

Introduction. The educational system is constitutive in all countries, it is one of the world’s largest systems that generates and reproduces human, intellectual, cognitive capital. National educational systems have both common features and differences, which are based on unique components – institutional genes. Russian education inherits many of the best traditions of the previous social system, thanks to which world recognized successes have been achieved. Most of these traditions have acquired the qualities of institutional genes, but this does not exclude the emergence of stable inefficient institutions, i.e. institutional traps. These are the characteristics of Russian education that are synthesized in its institutional portfolio as a topical and, in many ways, new research topic. Theoretical analysis. This study for the first time offers an approach to Russian education from the standpoint of institutional genetics. Institutional genes are a set of institutions, institutional structures, their interactions, mutual determinations, various rules of the game that are inherited, i.e. are transmitted from the previous economic system to the next, develop within the existing system, are constantly reproduced. Institutional genes can undergo processes of various changes - mutations and mimicry, dysfunctions, institutional pathologies. Empirical analysis. The main characteristics of institutional genes are highlighted: they are inherited, changed, reproduced within the framework of subsequent economic systems, which creates a certain predictability of trends in future socio-economic development and the possibility of choosing effective directions in politics. The study of new institutional traps in Russian education is of scientific interest, which is significant for determining the mechanisms of their leveling in the general course of systemic transformations. Results. An institutional portfolio of Russian education is presented, containing an analysis of the best traditions of the domestic education system, most of which is identified as institutional genes, and its new institutional traps. The significance of the appeal to the institutional genetics of Russian education and the existence of institutional traps, mechanisms for leveling them to substantiate the algorithm for the development of the educational system in accordance with its genesis, national priorities and strategic prospects is substantiated.

On the infl uence of “tales” on the economics methodology formation and their use in the teaching process (Part I)

Introduction. This article is a justification of the possibility of using tales to popularize economics, economic history and the history of economic thought. Theoretical analysis. The historiographic review showed that many prominent English-speaking and Russian-speaking economists in their scientific articles and monographs textually or allegorically use the terms “parables”, “fables”, “stories”, “stories”, “myths”, “saga”, and the like. Therefore, the term “tales” will organically complement this semantic range. The study of the construction of theory and models within the framework of economic theory and economic history in the 20th century revealed that the essence of the methodology of scientific research data (instrumentalism) is very close to the practice of inventing half-truth instructive stories, from which the proper conclusions should be made. Results. Post-modernization of the modern academic environment pluralization, can be used in the process of creative self-expression of economists and progress in the field of economic sciences.
