Theoretical consideration of implementation principles of social responsibility as a socioeconomic phenomenon

The paper contributes to the academic tradition of expanding the scope of economics to embrace the sociophilosophical notion of social responsibility. The paper deals with the specific problem of a conspicuous lack of scientific discourse on the theoretical consideration of social responsibility as a socioeconomic phenomenon beyond the conventional corporate and managerial range. Considering a possible solution to the problem, the paper structures and analyses the principles of realization of social responsibility in economic relations suggesting a broad spectrum of economic entities ? individuals and institutional entities. Furthermore, the coherent methodological framework for such structuring and further theoretical analysis is offered and described. Consequently, the principles under consideration are arranged in two groups. The first group includes the principles of realization of socially responsible economic behavior. The second one stands for the principles of realization of responsible socioeconomic relations. The methods exploited in the paper are the transdisciplinary theoretical analysis, the dialectical method, the techniques of scientific abstraction and generalization.
