ALTERNATIVITY AND TEMPORAL REFERENCE
Theoretical bases and conceptual and semantic aspects of use of a temporal reference in disclosure of alternative development of society are investigated. Specifics of modeling of social processes are considered. Features of the crisis periods in development and society transformations are opened, considering a used temporal reference. It is shown that alternative development of history is gained really by rather systematic registration from a position of that the segment of future time is represented not only as the segment assuming the sphere of alternatives, tendencies, prospects of social development. Legitimacy of a reasoning that in the all-methodological plan it is lawful to pass into the sphere of designing of system of the possible worlds in relation to the chosen lasting present within semantics of the possible worlds, in correlation with the actual world is proved. It is shown that if the speech comes about crisis or transition periods in social development, alternatives in relation to the future assume a certain process in society development that is directly connected both with overcoming of crisis situations, and with the positive permission of those transformations which in the society happen.
