Second attempt to read "The Concept of Family Policy"
Second attempt to read the Concept of Family Policy .
This is the second time I've stumbled upon this:
“The essence and meaning of the family is not simply the reproduction of the population, but the prolongation of the clan in the broadest sense of the word. The family acts as a connecting link between generations of the clan. Through it, the clan develops the mental and spiritual qualities inherent in its nature.
In the memory of the family, in its faith, the family gains immortality. In the popular consciousness of ancient Russian people, the clan (family, relatives, tribe), people, and Motherland are connected not just by one morphological root, but reflected the specifics of the worldview, the idea of the development of society. Russian Orthodoxy strengthens the spiritual content of the clan and family.
The family is not only a social community of spouses, parents and children, but also a spiritual unit, a “small church.”
It looks a lot like a finished essay stolen from the net. I decided to run the phrase about “Russian Orthodoxy” through a search engine. Yeah, tons of links to ready-made abstracts with this phrase. What is even more interesting is that the previous sentence is marked in the text of the Concept with the letter i, and at the end of the text under this letter there is a link to the “Report “Spiritual Foundations of the Traditional Russian Family”. The link is given as follows: http://www.works.tarefer.ru/ 74/100048/index.html
This is an anonymous abstract from the site of ready-made abstracts.
Well, that a government document cites such a source is pretty good news in itself, but you’d also like to find the author, right?
The author is found quite quickly. This is not a “report” at all, but one of the modules of the course “ Family Studies ”, prepared for students of the Institute of Distance Education of Tomsk Polytechnic University by Elena Vitalievna Rubanova , a teacher at the university’s Department of Philosophy.
Original text by E.V. Rubanova:
“The essence and meaning of the family, therefore, is not simply the reproduction of the population or childbearing, as some sociologists believe, but the prolongation of the clan in the broadest sense of the word. The family acts as a connecting link between generations of the clan in all planes of existence. Through it, the clan develops the inherent in his nature there are spiritual and spiritual qualities.
Through the family, the clan realizes itself, its purpose, embodies, expresses and develops its physical, psychological, spiritual and moral essence, materializes in its actions and way of life.
With this approach, each specific family ceases to be perceived as a social phenomenon that has both a beginning and an inevitable end. It receives another coordinate system, reflecting vertically the depth and strength of connections with the clan (including at the genetic level) as the bearer of common social experience, wisdom, social guidelines and values, and finally, the spirit of the clan itself. In the memory of the family, in its faith, the family gains immortality. Illuminated by the light of higher spiritual principles, a person in it rises above natural biological instincts and overcomes his egocentrism.
The advantages of this approach are that it allows us to focus not on the particular manifestations of the family problem, but to see it in the context of the development of the society from which it grows.
In the popular consciousness of ancient Russian people, the clan (family, relatives, tribe), the people, the Motherland were connected not just by one morphological root, but reflected the specifics of the worldview, the idea of the development of society. It is no coincidence that in Slavic-Russian mythology one of the main deities was Rod - the founder of life, the spirit of ancestors, the patron of the family.
Russian Orthodoxy strengthens the spiritual content of the clan and family. The highest meaning in the light of the Christian concept of life is perceived as serving God and following the Gospel commandments. The family is not only a social community of spouses, parents and children, but also a spiritual unit, a “small church.”
