ABSTRACTION AND SEMIOTICS OF MONEY IN CULTURE

Abstract

The article is dedicated to semiotic aspects of the money phenomenon. The latter is regarded through the prism of the semiotic abstraction in human culture. It is demonstarted that in some sense the money phenomenon is similar to that of language and more to that of writing, the writing as a trace of the voice of the being (in understanding of Derrida). Socio-historical preconditions of the money phenomenon emergence, historical variants of this phenomenon embodiment as well as its influence on human culture and society are analyzed. The influence of the money phenomenon on emergence and development of such abstractions as abstractions of number, market etc are considered.
