Abstract

This article examines the heuristic possibilities of the civilizational approach as a methodology for studying social development. The study focuses on the diversity of civilizational models and explains different interpretations of civilization allow researchers to analyze social systems from various theoretical perspectives. The article argues that the civilizational approach helps move beyond a one dimensional and Eurocentric understanding of history by recognizing the uniqueness of different regions, peoples and cultures. It concludes that civilizational models provide a reliable methodological basis for assessing social progress, modern civilization and future development.
