The method of structural taxonomy: research potential for analysis of social and spiritual processes
The article presents the method of structural taxonomy and its research capabilities for analyzing spiritual processes. The article describes the history of the emergence and development of the structural taxonomy method, as well as the possibility of its usage in scientific research for constructing structural models and analyzing spiritual processes, which modern sociology urgently needs. A description of the methodology of structural taxonomy and the construction of structural taxonomic models are given. As an example, the results of a structural-taxonomic study of the problem «The attitude of Russian youth to key political and public figures and institutions» and their interpretation are given. The conclusion is drawn about the structure of public consciousness of Russian youth in the context of its attitude to political and public figures and institutions. The article concludes that modern taxonomy has become a general scientific (interdisciplinary) method and a scientific and practical direction. Its tasks include the further development of classification principles and their practical application in specific studies of specific objects, moreover, both objects of the material world and those having a social, spiritual or any other virtual nature. Modern taxonomy is a scientific field that combines the theory and practice of constructing new knowledge – the identification of natural typologies and their classification.
