Vasiliy V. Markhinin. The Issue of the Peculiarity of Social and Human Studies in Classical Marxism (рр. 45–61).

The author interprets K. Marx and F. Engels' understanding of the problem of social and humanitarian scientific cognition. In this context, the questions are raised about how the classical authors of Marxism treat the relationship between science and philosophy; more particularly – about the tendency and limitations in regard to the merging of natural, social and humanitarian sciences into a unique science. The article shows that the central role in the formation of the natural sciences' specificity, according to the classical Marxist authors, belongs to interpenetration of properly scientific and philosophical cognition forms of these sciences, which is subordinated to the norms of scientific approach. This interpenetration is implemented, first of all, in a specific (for the social and humanitarian sciences) cognition method: the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, which is a scientific modification of philosophical dialectical method.

Keywords: social and humanitarian sciences, philosophy, dialectics, the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, historical practice.

Pavel L. Karabuschenko. The Standard Model of the Elite's Genesis: DNA of the Elite, the Maximum Concentration Limit of the Elite and the Elitization Efficiency (рр. 100–113).

We often assess the elites at their form ( status, which has mainly formal grounds), rather than at their content (internal quality indicating its dignity). To form an adequate and objective view of the elite in reality we should explore the nature of its genesis. Without such an objective analysis our view of the elite will be seized between the myth and reality. To avoid these faulty judgments we need a standard model of the elite's genesis to make a more correct quality assessment of any elite group and its subjects.

Keywords: the study of elites, the elite, elitism, genesis of the elite, creativity, standard, the elite's codes, individual, quality, status, dignity, responsibility.
