Abstract

The article puts forward and substantiates the idea that society and culture are related to each other as to form and content. The authors consider the phenomenon of interdependent relations of culture and society in the context of various sociological theories. The unity and difference between culture and society is the unity and difference between content and form. Society is a form of social life, and culture is its content. Society is the joint existence of people, built over their being. Culture determines the whole meaning and content of social life since it embodies a person's richness of social relations. It is a culture that saturates formal sociality with specific real inner content. Proceeding from this, the article substantiates the need to distinguish socio-historical and cultural-historical processes. The natural-historical side reflects the need for history, and its regularity cultural-historical side reflects freedom. Understanding of culture underlies the understanding of society and it's history‎.
