Abstract

Among a wide variety of approaches to civilizational interactions, a special place belongs to the legacy of Pitirim Sorokin – the renowned Harvard sociologist who contributed greatly to macrosociology, philosophy of history, theory and history of civilizations. A deep study of the legacy of the great sociologist and humanist Pitirim Sorokin can provide us with intellectual resources and brilliant insights we need to outline new ways for human development. The paper aims to explore the civilizational theory of Pitirim Sorokin. The authors used cultural-historical and integrative approaches
