WILL THE CIVILIZATIONAL APPROACH BECOME A SCIENTIFIC METHOD?
The Russian public is taking a closer look at the civilizational approach, which promises seemingly new horizons of research after the collapse of the formation paradigm 1. The civilizational approach has become the banner of everything new and progressive. But there are hidden pitfalls in it, sometimes not recognized by its adherents, and sometimes carefully hidden by them. I. N. Ionov revealed this background back in 1992: "The theory of civilizations in its cultural version... It was born out of a nationally oriented critique of these ideas (the ideas of Enlightenment - L.

And a lot of other facts that are relevant in the encyclopedia for children. It remains to be regretted that the student will not receive the same in-depth and comprehensive information about the location of the United States and Canada.
