| Summary: | The initial thesis of the study is the assertion that utilitarian doctrine can serve as
a means of moral restoration of Russian society, which is struck by anomie. The
subject of the study is the moral doctrine of utilitarianism. The methodological
basis for the study is structural functionalism. The author explores the factors that
contribute to and impede the development of utilitarianism, its transformation into
a moral doctrine, through which it is possible to overcome social divisions and
achieve social solidarity in Russian society. To this end, he reconstructs the principles
of the classical utilitarianism; demonstrates the modifications of utilitarianism in
the XX and XXI centuries; traces the history of utilitarianism in Russia from the
XVIII to XXI centuries; analyzes criticism of utilitarianism, reveals the reasons for
the hostility of utilitarianism by Russian intellectuals. In conclusion, the conclusion
is drawn that the development of utilitarianism in Russia depends on the ability of
the intellectual elite of society to assimilate and rethink its principles in new sociopolitical conditions |
