Social conflict from the perspective of a synergetic approach: social and philosophical analysis

The article is devoted to the social and philosophical analysis of the conflict from the perspective of a synergetic paradigm. We believe that in the study of social conflicts, the most effective approach is the theory of self-organization, which is implemented within the framework of system-synergetic approach. Due to its interdisciplinary nature and universality of laws and principles, a synergetic approach has great research potential in the study of social processes. It can be assumed that synergetics make it possible to introduce new knowledge into field of conflict knowledge and could become its ideological basis. Modern science is no longer guided by the ideals of immutability and linearity, therefore, in the study of conflicts it is also necessary to look for factors of self-organization, branches of strategies and bifurcations as a way out of crisis states. We come to the conclusion that the constancy of the very phenomenon of conflict in social space, the functional load of conflicts and the organic connection of conflicts with changes in social development should be taken into consideration
