Abstract

The contemporary world is in a state of global crisis. Therefore, today, more than ever, there is a need for a consent between individuals and people, coordination of actions, and mutual assistance. The value of consent increases many times in extreme situations: during the years of world wars or in the context of epidemics, pandemics, or natural disasters. Consent acts as a condition for overcoming crises and the main mechanism for the post-crisis reorganization of the world. Thus, in determining the essence of consent, not an abstract general, but a specific approach is needed.

This article refers to the positive meaning of the concept of consent as a system-forming side of the universal connection, as an internal background that makes the connection harmonious and strong. As for the conditions of social consent, the first of them should include the commonality of the main worldview attitudes. It is formed on the basis of a communicative-rational type of consent and can work effectively in the field of interfaith relations. Another important condition for consent is the socio-ethical imperatives. This condition goes back to a voluntary type of consent and works effectively in the sphere of interethnic relations. A wide variety of structures can act as arbitrators in bringing the conflicting parties to a public agreement. On a global scale, these are, for example, the UN; in Kazakhstan, it is the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan.
