PURPOSE OF METAPHYSICS: APOLOGY OF OVERAGE

Abstract

The article consistently substantiates the statement about the non-contextual nature of metaphysical knowledge. It is proved that metaphysics as knowledge of the limit level of abstraction determines the context, which gives it the status of a pure theory of the universal essential foundations of existence and knowledge of the world. Also, metaphysics as a speculative level of boundary abstractions determines the general contour of the realization of culture, on the specific historical interpretation of which depends the content of the cultural space of human existence. It is hypothesized that the metaphysics of culture emphasizes the constant principles of the specificity of human existence, and the effectiveness and efficiency of reflection on the phenomenon of culture is carried out by determining the fundamental for a particular era dialectical contradiction. Accordingly, metaphysics is a pronounced semantic construction of culture, which produces a certain type of thinking, memory and identification, i.e. subjectivity; and sociality as an ethical-axiological model of interaction with the Other. It is argued that classical metaphysics since its inception and throughout its long, meaningful and productive existence is a kind of orientation in space. The author argues that culture is a collection of space in an intelligible structure, the specific nature of human existence in the universe, the way of human being in the world. Space in the metaphysics of culture means the area of localization of the "Ego" and the field of transcendence at the same time. It is argued that metaphysics through the space of culture allows us to empirically feel the universe as Unite, to assume the existence of meaning. The concept of metaphysics of culture as a sphere of philosophical research of the phenomenon of culture in its boundary, extra-experiential, essential principles of historical development and semantic transformations is defined. Based on the analysis, the author summarizes the definition of the phenomenon of culture as a specifically human way of mastering space and the conquest of time, and consciousness - as a topology of reflective practices.
