Introduction. V. S. Solovyov's philosophical views about «realization of a normal society» are considered in clause. Philosophical views V. S. Solovyov are reconstructed in the form of model of the religious-natural order in a context of the system approach. A characteristic feature of the model is that it can be used to determine the specific features of the order (we distinguish the order from other categories owing to specific attributes of the order). Prominent feature of model is the opportunity of an establishment of basis of comparison which is used for comparison of models of the organization of a society with the similar bases.

Materials and Methods. V. S. Solovyov's and F. Aquinas's works, and also proceedings of domestic researchers became a material for research. The structural and functional analysis, a combination of logic and historical methods, a historical and comparative method-comparative method are applied in given clause.

Results. The study recorded the characteristic features of the idea of V. S. Solovyov as a system object. The reconstruction of the philosopher's views in the form of a model of the religious-natural order forms an idea of the process of interaction of the orders of society. The following signs of order have been established. Firstly, the presence of a certain type of relations that have a religious-natural character and the accompanying factor that forms the order. Secondly, the presence of a hierarchically ordered system with vertical levels of dependence and its accompanying factor forming a hierarchy of order. Thirdly, the presence of features of the detection of order and its place in society has been established. We have chosen a basis of comparison based on the signs of order for models of the organization of society with similar bases. The model of the religious-natural order is revealed: in the integrity of V. S. Solovyov's views, in the essential elements characterizing a "normal society". The integrity of the model is concretized through the links of interaction, functioning, management; in the structure. The structure is characterized horizontally and vertically, which makes it possible to establish ways to regulate levels. The origins of the sustainable functioning of society are laid down in the mechanism of the correlation of its orders. Ideas about the social order (in the context of religious principles) were formed long before the 19th century in the history of philosophy. The established comparison basis made it possible to compare the foundations of a sustainable organization of society, indicated in the views of V. S. Solovyov, with the ideas of the medieval philosopher F. Aquinas. The basis of comparison allowed us to establish the foundations of transformation laid down in the structure of orders.

Discussion and Conclusion. Having analyzed the views of V. S. Solovyov, we have established their characteristic features as a system object. This allowed us to determine the basis of comparison, which can be used to compare models of the organization of society with similar bases. Analyzing V. S. Solovyov's point of view on the organization of society, we have established specific signs of order, which in different traditions (in comparison with the views of F. Aquinas) have different bases for the formation of order, the factor forming the hierarchy. Fundamentals of the dynamics of the idea of public order when comparing the views of V. S. Solovyov and F. Aquinas conclusions are as follows: there is no complete continuity between the tradition of the Middle Ages and Russian philosophy in understanding the foundations of social order. Thus, in the history of philosophy there was a transformation of the foundations that characterize the emergence of social order.
