Abstract
The article examines the content of one of the modules of the concept of teaching the course “History”, developed by a team of authors for students of the Financial University. This part of the course is supposed to analyse the problematic aspects of humanity’s historical development and Russian civilisation’s place in it. We based our analysis on the theory of wave development of the historical process. On the one hand, it highlights the key moments of cardinal changes in the development trends of civilization. On the other hand, defines the fundamental social constants (FSK) that ensure the continuity of the cultural and historical tradition. Thus, students develop a general understanding of the laws and nature of the world’s development and national history. It provides an interdisciplinary historical and philosophical approach to teaching, combining historical data in the “History” course with the value reference points of eras, based on certain worldview foundations. The concept of philosophy of history presented to students is correlated with the theories of waves in the development of the world economy by N.D. Kondratyev and the anthropic principle in the physical theory of the “big bang”. It makes possible inscribing the positions of liberal arts education in vocational training and linking them with the achievements of modern natural sciences.
Supporting agencies: The study was carried out within the framework of the project “Strategy for Humanitarian Education” at the expense of the scientific fund of the Financial University.
