Abstract

The article is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between humans, society, and social models in the context of contemporary social processes. It examines the philosophical and legal aspects related to the modeling of social phenomena, as well as its significance for a deeper understanding of social structures and dynamics. The article discusses the main theoretical approaches used in modeling, their impact on the study of societal interactions, and the practical application of these models for forecasting social changes. Particular attention is given to the philosophical foundations of modeling, such as concepts of reality and abstraction, as well as meta-models that serve as a basis for analyzing and interpreting complex social processes. The article also addresses the legal aspects of modeling, including the regulation of these processes and their significance for the development of civil society. Modeling social processes is seen as an essential tool for understanding social reality, enabling not only the comprehension of current trends but also the prediction of potential changes, which is especially relevant in the context of globalization and the dynamic development of social interactions.
