Concepts of political leadership: рhilosophical-anthropological and socio-cultural measurements
Abstract
The article reveals a conclusion that a significant number of approaches to understanding the phenomenon of a political leadership have been formed based on the presence of a significant number of studies on the problem of political leadership. They take into account a large number of factors that characterize the personality of a leader in the political, socio-economic, legal, religious and cultural spheres. The article analyzes the problem of political leadership in the works of such scientists as: N. Machiavelli, J. Dewey, F. Nietzsche, G. Storozheva, A. Priyatelchuk, S. Siegele, G. Lebon, G. Tard, Z. Freud, L. Edinger, Y. Jennings, S. Hook, M. Weber, T. Adorno, G. Marcuse, E. Fromm, K. Friedrich, G. Page, M. Samimi, B. Buyak, G. Grinlif, K. Hodgkinson, G. Fairholm, T., S. Kuchmarskikh, G. Hilmen, T. Fittssimen, A. Morozov, N. Gorbacheva, B. Bujak, A. Traverse, A. Pakhareva, N. Tkach and others. Despite the variety and variability of methodological approaches to understanding leadership, it is still necessary to conceptualize them. It is revealed that one of the most productive approaches to understanding the essence of political leadership is its interpretation based on value and socio-cultural orientations in the development of the individual and society, in general. It is clarified that the study of the category "personality"plays an important role within the socio-cultural approach to understanding of leadership. In addition, socio-cultural approach provides research on leadership through the prism of identifying individual, social communities and society as a whole in special forms of activity. The relevance of the socio-cultural approach is also explained by the fact that it allows the use of interdisciplinary research, opening a wide field for the possibility of developing a synthetic theory of political leadership.
