Эвристический потенциал понятия бифуркации

Abstract

The paper is intended to demonstrate the heuristic potential of the social bifurcation notion as an extending concept in relation to “social revolution” and being free of its axiological content. There is also discussed the genesis of the notion in the context of self-organization model construction in application to social change. Heuristic possibilities of the proposed approach are demonstrated regarding the problem of “revolutions riddles”, considered by P.Sztompka as one of actual sociological items.
