Some important aspects of postmodernity should be clarified. It is not a complete phenomenon, and although it was the postmodernists (in particular Derrida) who introduced the notion of 'deconstruction' (based, however, on Heidegger's notion of die Destruktion in Sein und Zeit), Postmodernity itself can be deconstructed, and not necessarily in the postmodern style.
Eurasian integration is one of Russia's top geopolitical priorities, while African integration is a priority for African countries. Both concepts were formed within their respective ideological currents: Eurasianism and Pan-Africanism. Despite the outward differences between Eurasianists and Pan-Africanists, there are serious structural similarities between these ideologies, which can be summarised in Arnold Toynbee's 'challenge-response' scheme. In essence, these are problems of similar civilisations, of non-Western civilisations confronting the problems of Westernisation, modernisation, historical memory and the project of a future rooted in tradition.
Let us trace the fate of the Logos in the Postmodern. It is extremely important to always remember that the Logos is one of the manifestations of the heroic myth, i.e. the product of the diurnal regime (according to J. Durand's classification). Nor is it the only one, nor is it absolute. The Logos includes the antithetical and pleonasmic sides of the heroic myth (heterogeneous homogenisation) and takes them to their ultimate limit, but it also leaves aspects of the Diurnal myth such as the direct and frenzied will to power, passionality and hyperbolisation in the unconscious. Of course, these aspects of the Diurnal - relatives of the Logos - also penetrate the same, but not explicitly, but through the inertia of the choreic attraction of the heroic myths to one another (i.e. not logically).
Postmodernism is the paradigm towards which the transition from the previous paradigm, the modern, is taking place. The transition is taking place before our eyes, so today's society (at least western society, but also planetary society as far as western influence is concerned) is a society in transition. Not only is Russian society transitive in a broad sense, but also the social matrix that defines the life of humanity to this or that degree is changing its qualitative nature today.
