Abstract
The analytical vector of the article is defined by the idea of underage as a state of historically immature society in the supramoralist framework of the philosophy of common cause. In the teachings of N.F. Fedorov (1829-1903), the idea of underage and full age determines the cause-and-effect contour of all social-historical phenomena. Therefore, the supramoralist analysis of the identified roots and primary conditions of underage led to some critical assessments of civilizational existence in its global-problematic expression. In the analytical context, various manifestations of underage are discovered, and relevant characteristics of the imperfect state of society are revealed. As an answer to the question of immaturity, supramoralism proposes to replace the artificial social question of “poverty and wealth” with the natural question of “death and life,” implying by death the fundamental poverty of man and affirming immortal life as true wealth. The article reconstructs the projective understanding of sociology as an active-historical function of the highest social organization. Projective sociology is to serve not as a statistical record of “history as a fact” but as an instrument for studying humanity and ensuring its polyunity in the image of the divine Trinity. In the scientific-applied perspective, this is the guiding knowledge of the projective synthesis of a due full-age society. The civilizational analysis of various manifestations of immaturity in their systemic-historical extrapolation allowed Fedorov to make a warning conclusion about eschatological risks of global humanity according to the scenario of the Apocalypse. At the same time, he considered this prophecy about the catastrophic collapse of social history conditional, leaving the possibility of a conscious ontological transformation of man, society and the world, provided the imperative overcoming of the ideological immaturity of planetary humanity. For these purposes, the world-building potential of the philosophy of common cause deserves a systemic scientific-philosophical analysis which is axiologically significant under the current historical singularity of the global civilization.
