Anthropo-, Socio- and Culture Genesis in the Light of Generalizing Theory

Abstract

The term anthropo-, socio- and culture genesis, which reflects the indissoluble unity of the processes of human evolution, cultural socium (society) and culture, is increasingly used by philosophers and cultural scientists, but uniform illumination of anthropo-, socio-, and cultural genesis is still missing. Traditionally, anthropo-, socio- and cultural genesis was covered in the religious doctrines, where the fundamental role played the Holy Spirit (Parental Love), beloved parents — the bearers of all the benefits, the holders of the Higher Forces and Higher Mind. They reproduced a man-made universe, the source of our environment, and ensured our primordial being, socialization, enculturation at certain period of our life, so-called Golden Age. A false understanding of traditional teachings contributed to the emergence of a widespread theory of implements of trade that became the theoretical basis of many sciences, designed to explore the cradle of humankind (mother’s hands), the culture of human, but not the culture of stone, bronze and iron. We may rightly call this theory mechanistic or technocratic.

In the framework of the mechanistic doctrine emerged erroneous views on the material production, on the basic forms of labor activities, which ensure the reproduction of the species. Material production exists wherever there are mothers, so there is no reason to deny the existence of animal breeding among the animals, and of aviculture among birds. Within the scope of animal breeding and aviculture, the production of food, the construction of dwellings, and the educational processes take place. At the origin of these forms of labor activity is the parental instinct, which is by its nature social, because it provides the natural formation of society "mother-child". It is the maternal instinct that gave rise to the education, culturological process, so there is no reason to oppose social and cultural to biological.

Generalized and generalizing (consolidating), the labor theory of anthropo-, socio-, and cultural genesis, substantiated by the author of this article in a number of books, considers as the basic forms of the labor activity not cultivating of the tools of labor, but the cultivation of human, originated by maternal instinct. It is the mother's care, and not care about the stone, bronze and iron allows us to shed light on the origins of the deliberate health concern that gave rise to medicine, costume, cuisine, architecture, etc. The cultivation of human and not the treatment of the stone brought to life a wide range of modelling systems: language, fairy tale, myth, ritual, art. The process of inculturation and socialization, traditionally used by mothers in the earliest stages of anthropo-, socio-, and cultural genesis, allows us not only to shed light on the origins of these systems, but also to understand the meaning of the traditional teachings about human nature, society, and culture. Such an understanding makes extremely difficult the free interpretation of these teachings that is an inexhaustible source for generating pseudo-scientific doctrines and for attacks on science.
