Abstract

The article presents сonceptual analysis of genetic sources of the worldview determinants of non-violent cultural practices of the nonviolence by assessing the achievements of the ancient Chinese and Indian philosophical and religious systems having offered, developed and implemented the idea of nonviolence. The author draws attention to the importance of studying the nonviolence phenomena, its epistemological and ontological characteristics and to the difficulties of the correct theoretical interpretation of the 'nonviolence' concept in contemporary sociocultural knowledge. The article proves that only the culturological approach is the most effective cognitive instrument for identification in the historical perspective the achievements of traditional cultures in the forms of worldviews, ideas and recipes for the non-violent organization of everyday life and social management. It overviews the problematics of genetic sources, ideological conditions and traditional non-violent practices. The author proposed the critical analysis of the basic worldview communicative principles for non–violent human coexistence. The author researches shortcomings of the Eastern version of the non-violent worldview, the reasons of the dubious achievements of this worldview in European culture; yet proving that in the Western societies the tolerance phenomena as the principle of freedom of religious belief and of human behaviour is the modified manifestation of nonviolence.
