Abstract
The problem of atypicality as a biopsychosocial phenomenon on the one hand requires comprehension in the context of philosophical study and further search for a solution to problems in the field of socio-philosophical research. On the other hand, the polysemantic content and terminological uncertainty of the concept of "atypicality" implies the need to create classifications using a categorical approach that allows you to generalize and determine the social phenomenon in a sociocultural context. Modern conditions of social and political instability and uncertainty, the transition to a new paradigm for the development of society and social relations require the formation of a special attitude to another person and, moreover, to people with disabilities. In this regard, it seems necessary to rethink reality and abandon "Western models" of attitude to atypicality, which led to a formal attitude on the part of the state and society. The crisis in Russian society was created under the influence of Western European models, based not so much on humanism as on pragmatism and economic conditioning, which had a strong influence on the spiritual inculturation and involvement of people with disabilities in public life, as well as on the very attitude to atypicality in Russia with elements of intolerance and formalization at all levels of public and state power. To solve these problems, a different vector of development is needed in relation to atypicality and its comprehension: not denying the borrowing and adaptation of some technologies and methods, but designed to rely on traditional values embedded in the culture and mentality of the Russian person.
