Kochetkov,V.V. Russian Elitology: Science or ideology?
Abstract:
This article demonstrates that, epistemologically,
modern Russian elitology is not a science, but rather an
ideology, which explains, and thus legitimates the dominance
of the ruling elite. To have an epistemological status
of an academic discipline, or a science, any social and humanitarian
research requires several functions to be exercised.
It needs to explain the motives and the aftermath of
people’s actions in the past and in the future, shed light on
the probabilities of the future and formulate goals to which
they must aspire to. Thus, to become a science, a social and
humanitarian theory must not only explain and describe
the past and predict the future, but it also must formulate
ideals and goals for the society. The author points out that
Russian elitology does not match those criteria, because it
only explains the mechanisms of the dominance of elites.
To become a science, elitology must build a foundation
of Public Law constitutionalist ethics which would allow
evaluating the results of the ruling elite’s actions.
Keywords:
Philosophy, elitology, ideology, science, constitutionalism, public law ethics, axiology, ethos, dominance, elite.
