Abstract

According to the classification of societies in the nature of their sociality, one differentiates two types of the society - collectivist and individualistic societies; and it is insufficient to accept the distinctiveness of societies for solving the problem of identity. It is also important to take into account how exactly the identity of a particular society is presented in the main philosophical traditions of theorizing (of metaphysical and dialectical). This article presents the special knowledge of the identity of a collectivist society in the context of the dominant Western metaphysical tradition in theorizing (represented nominalistic and realistic methodological tradition) as an example.
