Annotation

The article presents material that can be used as a didactic and methodological aid for courses in teaching sociology and other social sciences. The relationship between sociology and social sciences is discussed: the former consider sociality in an anthropological key, as relationships between people; in social sciences, the conditions that determine these relationships are analyzed. Six main characteristics of sociality are presented: the study of mass behavior of people and social order, the characterization of the correctness of sociality, the assessment of sociality and the assignment of the type of social action, the cultural and historical understanding of sociality, the popular nature of sociality, the singular plan for the evolution of European sociality. Three types of sociality are distinguished and introduced (1.0, 2.0, 3.0). At the end of the article, the author joins the opinion of Z. Bauman, who calls on sociologists not only to more carefully formulate the laws of sociality, recognizing humanitarian nature of sociological research, but also to recognize the limitations of their cognitive capabilities in relation to sociality.
