STRATEGY FOR OVERCOMING HYPERCONFLICT IN THE SOCIAL SPACE: A PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The article offers a philosophical interpretation of the phenomenon of hyperconflict as one of the key features of the contemporary social space, revealing a crisis of coexistence, the degradation of the communicative environment, and the disintegration of the meaningful structures of common being. The relevance of the study is determined by the transformations of social ontology in the context of post-truth, global fragmentation of values, and digitalization, which amplify conflict to the level of an existential challenge. The article explores the philosophical nature of hyperconflict as a disruption of the fundamental relations between the Self, the Other, and the world, and outlines the possibilities of overcoming it through a rethinking of ethics, dialogue, and social ontology.
The study demonstrates that hyperconflict transcends the traditional understanding of conflict as a clash of interests and emerges as an ontological phenomenon that undermines the possibility of dialogue, solidarity, and the social contract. It is shown that classical models of conflict resolution prove inadequate in the context of ruptures between the Self and the Other, fragmented experience, and the crisis of universals. In the digital age, conflict assumes algorithmically intensified forms, requiring a new conceptualization of responsibility and the ethics of interaction. The article formulates the philosophical principles of a strategy to overcome hyperconflict: the ethics of responsibility (E. Levinas), the dialogical nature of being (M. Buber, H.-G. Gadamer), the ontology of openness (J.-L. Nancy), the rejection of totality (J.-F. Lyotard), and the ethics of memory (P. Ricœur). It substantiates the need to conceptualize the future as an open space of the common, where conflict is transformed from a destructive force into a resource for development.
The article argues that hyperconflict is not merely a social or political problem but a profound spiritual and anthropological challenge that requires a philosophical rethinking of the foundations of human coexistence. Overcoming this phenomenon is possible through the restoration of the ethics of reciprocity, the dialogical dimension of being, the recognition of plurality, and the construction of an ontology of the future capable of ensuring productive interaction under conditions of radical diversity.
