DIFFICULT SITUATIONS AS GENERAL FORMS OF CONFLICT MANIFESTATION

The article examines the philosophical content of the concept of «difficult situation» and reveals the conflictological genera-species levels and of difficult situations relations according to the leading and most general signs. Classifications of difficult situations (A. Antsupov, A. Shipilov), critical situations (F. Vasylyuk), situations unknown (K. Levin), affectogenic life situations (F. Bassin) are amenable to critical understanding. It is substantiated that the generic forms of difficult situations are difficult situations of activity, social interaction and intrapersonal plan.
