Abstract

Objective of the study. The problem of the synthesis of moral, cognitive, social and political as well as research optics in the analysis of the life and fate of the philosophers of the sixties is stated. The methodological basis of the study is the discussion of the alternative “ideological supervision – intellectual conscience”. The ideological supervision of the Soviet government over philosophy turned it into a means of suppressing free thought. As a result, the formulation and discussion of many ideological, moral and political problems of Soviet society and Soviet state were aggravated. To analyze the causes of aggravation, the author uses the theory of biography, generational approach, concepts of perception of literary works, perception of thesaurus, freedom and ideology.  It allows us to establish the measure of independence of each individual and generation from the “dust of Soviet everyday life” in post-Soviet Russia.   The results of the study. The epistemological, ideological and political prerequisites of whistleblowing; the connection between changes in the political course of the government and the political and ideological justification of power; the mechanisms of translation of Soviet double-dealing into modern conditions are considered. The unity of opinions of the philosophers of the Sixties on the whistleblowing has been revealed. The author believes that their experience cannot be considered an element of past history, copied into the archive. The elements of A. A. Zinoviev's concept of social criticism are systematized. Prospects of the study. The problem of the heuristic nature of the conclusions of the article is posed when describing the system of recurrent totalitarianism that has developed in modern Russia.
Keywords:
philosophers of the Sixties, alternative “ideological supervision – intellectual conscience”, phenomenon of whistleblowing
