Civilization choice of Russia in the context of existential and post-structuralist anthropology

The article is devoted to the problems of Russia’s civilization choice, which are considered in the context of methodological synthesis of the existential and post-structuralist philosophical paradigms. We substantiate the scientific correctness and practical usefulness of such extrapolation based on M. Heidegger's doctrine of existentials, the phenomenological principle of "horizon-consciousness" developed by E. Husserl, and the concept of J. P. Sartre on self-determination of a human and his nature. The article discusses the bipolarity of Russia's "cultural code" as a promising organic synthesis of Western and Eastern "modes" of Russian civilization in the context of post-structuralist methods of considering political ideologies (dividing individuals and peoples) as illusory semantic constructions, which do not have any representative significance in relation to reality. The article raises the problem of social and philosophical search for a methodology that allow disclosing the existential nature of human sociality, which is a sphere of realizing the human modes of being (according to M. Heidegger), such as freedom, responsibility and search for self-actualization (in the light of personal and absolute goals and meanings) in the face of death and finiteness.
