Westernology: towards a sovereign Russian science
https://doi.org/10.18384/2949-5164-2024-3-7-21
Abstract
Aim. To develop methodological principles and approaches for the formation of a new social science discipline – Westernology – and to define the subject of Westernology research.
Methodology. The formation of the discipline of Westernology is based on the development of the civilizational approach and is determined by the corresponding consideration of Western civilization.
Results. It is noted that the prevailing view of the West is not as one of many civilizations but as an advanced community standing above others. Ethnocentric views of the West and claims to the universality of Western discourse are identified.
Research implications. The findings provide a basis for systematically decolonizing Russian social sciences and overcoming dependence on Western-centric perspectives.
