Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of social exclusion, which is positioned in contemporary intellectual discou rse as a challenge of the present. In contrast, the paper argues that social exclusion is a by-product of social differentiation of communities that has existed in all historical periods, manifesting itself as a social deviation. The latter was perceived by society as a threat that destroys the foundations of group unity, and therefore it had to be destroyed or isolated. However, with the onset of industrial production, which stimulated the development of individualism, attitudes toward deviance changed rapidly. Marginalized and formerly socially isolated people began to be seen as a completely positive social element that could serve the benefit of society and the state, and therefore should be included in public life.
