The purpose of the study is to analyze the paradigms of the subsystems of society with the identification of their specifics and features. The types of society are considered through the prism of its economic, social, political and spiritual development. The stages of development of the paradigm are shown in the changing structure of the economy. The systemic interrelation of paradigms in the context of the specifics and features of their evolution is revealed. The idea of a structural hierarchy of subsystems of society for understanding and solving problems of interaction of paradigms is proposed. The specifics and features of the paradigms of the subsystems of society and ways to smooth out contradictions and conflicts of paradigms are determined.
