The formation of klironomical thinking in the system of the social outlook

The preservation of the historical and cultural heritage of civilization is the most urgent and priority direction of the world community development as a whole and the society of each state individually. The cultural image of society cannot be formed from nowhere, from a blank slate. This is the result of centuries-old transformations, diffusions and interpenetration of semiotic series, traditions, folklore, in its essence the formation of intangible cultural heritage and transfer into a material shell, which begins to form the heritage value’s concept, first in economic perception (equivalent), and then spiritual – the values of the past for future society. The expanded paper, based on the first two chapters of the monograph on klironomy, a new science on the cultural heritage preservation being developed, is an analysis of the evolution of the formation of a special kind of outlook in a person and society based on klironomical thinking, i.e., thoughts about preserving the past for the future. The author concludes that the individual and social outlook began to expand not only in philosophical terms, but also culturological and art criticism. Gradually, understanding not only the very essence of the preservation of cultural heritage, but also its processes and patterns, led to the formation of a separate direction of outlook, which requires a new name and definition – klironomical.
