TOPOS-THE FORMAT OF ONTOLOGICAL DETERMINISM

The article contains an analysis of topological factors as the fundamental foundations of socio-ontological determinants of socio-cultural phenomenality: the subject of research attention is the natural topos as the geolocation of society and its natural and climatic features, which largely determine the historical fate, evolutionary dynamics and format of the socio-cultural deployment of society. The purpose of the study can be stated as a substantiation of the connection between spatial and natural / climatic features and the specific content of the social mentality, as well as the socio-ontological state of Russian reality. In the process of working on the article, the following were used: dialectical principles of consistency, inconsistency and determinism; methods of geographical determinism and imaginary geography. The article characterizes the features of toposa (coordinate, length, relief; landscape and natural zoning, geological structure, hydrographic network, weather regime) as an actual factor in the historical process; the dependence of Russian socio-cultural reality on geolocation and natural-climatic data has been established. The conclusions reached by the author are not only theoretically justified, but have not lost their empirical relevance and should be taken into account when interpreting the socio-ontological changes of modern Russian reality, which, in turn, is an indispensable condition for its effective management, in connection with which the area application of the research results can be determined by the state and municipal management.
