Social space as a condition of memory in the development of human activity

Urgency of the research is related to the need to study the species division and classification of the phenomenon of social space, which defines the demarcation in the understanding of the formation of different types of space, its modalities, as a rule, perceived by man in the duality of dynamics of "space-time" in the picture of his world in a philosophical reflection on the development of human activity in the 21st century.

Target setting. We consider it necessary to study the mechanisms of intuition (as irrational) in activity (as rational, because target formation is its main criterion) and modern humanitarian research based on the philosophical principle of objectivity in the problem field.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The problem of social space has its own traditions and concepts. The studies of J. Boden, Ch. Montesquieu, F. Rattsel and K. Ritter have an important place in solving the problem of social space. In the article we analyze the positions of social-Darwinism of G. Spencer, the work of E. Durkheim, the position of G. Zimmel, T. Parsons and P. Sorokin. We focus on the practical and philosophical views of academician Popov through the prism of an active approach.

The research objective. The necessity to comprehend the phenomenon of memory in social space is specified in such scientific tasks: to comprehend the content of social time, its types, the role of memory mechanisms in the context of social space, to determine the reasons and preconditions for determining the classification of species categories of space in human perception. In our scientific investigation we have focused on the analysis of logic and theory of the external method of memory research according to G. Popov; representation of the theoretical model of memory and its specific designation and figurative constructions, as well as the definition of social space necessary for the analysis of the problem.

The statement of basic materials. If the object of our work is social space, its modalities and species characteristics, the subject is theoretical models that represent the role of mechanisms of memory in social space. The article is aimed to study the phenomenon of memory in social space and assumes the study of memory in the interaction with external environment. The shown result is reflection of the outcomes of systematization of knowledge about the relationship between mechanisms of memory and the phenomenon of formation of social space, which are the result of philosophical reflection on the principles of work of blocks of human memory.

Conclusions. So, in the context of the implementation of the tasks in this article, the following regularities were obtained: firstly, all kinds, types and modalities of the phenomenon of social space perceived by a man is order's reflection of operation of configurations of dynamic and static memory blocks; Secondly, by the example of the analysis of the social space modalities, we presented the heuristic potential of the image model of G. Popov's memory; thirdly, we considered the phenomenon of space, its varieties and correlated these features with the specifics of dynamic and static memory blocks.

Keywords: memory, phenomenology of memory, memory environment, social space, mechanisms of memory, places of memory, logic of memory.
