Kachmar O. Socio-philosophical reflection of the phenomenon of aggression at the conditions of socio-cultural transformations.

The dissertation is devoted to the problem of social and philosophical conceptualization of the phenomenon of aggression at the conditions of socio-cultural transformations. Societies with transit nature, which Ukrainians can reliably refer to, are a well-known space for actualization of the phenomenon of aggression. The overcoming of this situation requires the conduct of socio-philosophical research capable of understanding the essence of socio-cultural transformation processes and able to propose the strategies for minimizing and preventing aggression. In the dissertation it was possible to conceptualize the essence of aggression as a socio-cultural phenomenon and to discover the terminological cohesiveness "aggression?aggressiveness", as well as to investigate the metaphysical dimensions and the ambivalent nature of the phenomenon of aggression. The next step was to systematize the forms of representation of aggression in modern society and to identify the specifics of aggression in the socio-cultural space of interpersonal interaction. The study attempts to reveal the essence of mobing as a form of actualization of aggression in a social group and to conceptualize the peculiarities of the phenomenon of aggression in the socio-cultural space of the family. The author reveals the potential of the ritual and anthropotechnics in the processes of minimization and prevention of aggression, analyzes the role of art as a factor in the prevention of aggressiveness and discloses the possibilities of social catharsis in conflict resolution. It was demonstrated the specifics of religion as determinant of aggression at modern society, and discovered the possibilities of educational humanism in preventing the formation of aggressive ideological orientations. Conceptualization of the educational strategy of prevention of aggression of children and adolescents is realized and the mechanism of overcoming the aggressiveness of modern students is developed in the dissertation. The author conceptualized the system of socio-cultural determinants of contemporary Ukrainian aggression as well as communicative strategies aimed at preventing manifestations of aggression in Ukrainian society. The challenges of hybrid military aggression to the processes of implementing domestic civilization strategies were explored.
