Abstract: The problem under study is relevant due to the need of historiosophical understanding of the globalization phenomenon as a social reality and its reflection in social and human sciences. The study is considering the historical and philosophical reflections to universal logic of society’s development, its influence on the genesis of the modern globalization concepts. On the ideas of classical German the evolution of the human history unity concept is shown, its implementation in terms of unity and conciliarism of Russian religious philosophers. Concept of globalization is analyzed as an objective process of the society’s evolution, as opposed to a narrow interpretation as geopolitics, aimed at the extension of cultural, economic and institutional influence by economically developed countries over the rest of the world. The study presents the hypothesis of a civil society as the key subject of globalization which allows realizing the natural course of history. Thus, the researchers of the phenomenon of the humanity unity and later globalization, consider the desire of people for unity as an objective process that is the consequence of the natural course of human development initiated by itself and should not be imposed by several countries and their political, economic and other leaders.
