Andron about being and consciousness

Do not you think that all attempts at modernization that have occurred over the past three centuries in Russia, break off, simply because there is no most important thing was never in Russian history - the modernization of the Russian mentality? Who about what, but lousy for the bath: I still do not satisfy the answer to what the Russian people internally ready to upgrade. And once I started talking about the mentality, the right idea, which also does not suit me. The idea that this kind of fatalism, and from that we never get. It is not true, because all European countries, which went towards the creation of civil society, came from one mindset to another. Another question is that it took centuries of bloody battle, and Protestantism and learning indoktrinizatsii "obvnutreniya" social responsibilities. But the state - the state as civil society - there arose as a result of violence that it just was stretched on for three centuries. We have, since this does not happen, we continue to disregard the value system of Russian people. 2 percent (of the population, forming a critical mass of "modernizers" .- "O"), of course, important. But if we take 98 percent of the population in times of Peter or now, their value system has remained exactly the same. No upgrading of Peter has not changed the Russian mentality. He is said Gershenson, covered with a thin mantle of civilization, Russia, remained at the bottom of a huge, deep, huge, neprosnuvshayasya mass, which is still asleep. So when you say that it is impossible to change, I think this is a profound mistake. Values ​​such as the value of life or social, individual responsibility, which Russia does not exist, the values ​​are not yet ... We still do not think that there are certain sociological, cultural genome Russian behavior behaviorism. That is in the works of Harvard scientists, Huntington, Harrison, is a division of nations, roughly speaking, the categorization of the typology. There are, roughly speaking, a nation that is easy to see the changes that are going to change easily, and nations that resist change. This is a cultural, cultural characteristics of nations, the mass of various other there. To say that there is a universal man who treats all the great ideas - an absolute illusion. In vain to this day no one knows that Russian mentality can not today, 300 years, both in Europe and for three generations at least to improve, to create a socially responsible people. Because there is no civil society, without which civil society may be modernized, excuse me? Kushchevskaya across the country! This is normal mercenaries, they are not criminals, mercenaries is there, XIII century, the normal knights, robbing peasants, share with the Duke. And talk about what is possible upgrade, is to talk about what you need to mow the patient, when it should be treated.
