Culturalphilosophical foundations of the study of the phenomenon of friendship of peoples

Abstract

The article examines two trends in the relations of peoples - the tendency towards isolation and the tendency towards unification. The ethnocentric belief of ancient people in their natural superiority over other peoples coexists with the desire for peaceful, good neighborly relations. Medieval Central Asian thinkers talk about the equality of people of all nationalities and the need for dialogue between cultures. In modern times, the idea of Eurocentrism is opposed by the refusal to perceive non-European peoples as less valuable and developed. In the 21st century solidarity is proclaimed one of the fundamental values of humanity. The author comes to the conclusion that the idea of equal, friendly relations between peoples is deeply rooted in human existence. Its development is conditioned by the logic of the unfolding of human social life and is a form of the embodiment of culture as a constructive, creative process. Thor comes to the conclusion that the idea of equal, friendly relations between peoples is deeply rooted in human existence.
