The Basics of the Theory of the Sociogenesis


The Summary

      The basic mechanisms of the civilisation development are described in the treatise.
      The most important properties of a society are :
         the methods of stimulation of workers,
         the rights of members of a society,
         the methods of possession of the main riches of a society,
         the methods of governance of a society,
         kinds of interrelations of societies.
      The development of the properties is shown.

      The reasons and conditions of changes of the properties are specified.
      Determining of the properties by the technologies which dominate in the economy in the corresponding periods of
         the history, is proved.
      The future civilisation development is predicted on the basis of the presented conception of a society development.

The Preamble

The work purpose is description of the main factors and mechanisms which cause the historical changes of the basic properties of a society.

The basic properties of a society are the following:
The prevailing method of stimulation of workers to work.
The rights of the majority of members of a society.
The kind of possession of the main riches of a society.
The kind of the governance system of a society.
The kind of relations between societies.

For example, during the capitalism Epoch:
The prevailing method of stimulation of workers is financial incentives.
The rights of members of a society are : to the life, to the immunity of a person and property, to participation in the influence on the power system.
The kind of possession of the main riches of a society is the private property.
The kind of the governance system of a society is the republic.
The kind of relations between societies is the peaceful coexistence.

The public and economic relations are processes of the control. Their properties depend on the technologies applied in the economy. It is the most probable that the dominating public group establishes such properties of these processes at which the group's riches maximise.

The capitalism mechanisms of the influence on:
the method of stimulation of workers are described in section 3.3.1,
the rights of citizens are described in section 4.4.1,
the kind of possession of the main riches of a society are described in section 5.2,
the kind of the governance system of a society are described in section 5.2.3.1,
the kind of relations between societies are described in section 9.5.1.

The Sociogenesis Diagram graphically displays the Eras and Epochs in the historical development of a society, and also the properties of a society during the corresponding times. It enables to correlate visually the Eras, Epochs and the properties of a society in the times.

The theory is presented in the microthesis format.
Each thesis describes an elementary property of a social system.
All theses are numbered that opponents might easy refer to them and criticize.
