Methodological Aspects of Comprehension of Human Being in the Culturological Scientific Paradigm
Methodological Aspects of Comprehension of Human Being in the Culturological Scientific Paradigm

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the work is to substantiate the methodological possibilities of cultural studies as post-nonclassical knowledge in the study of anthropological problems, as well as to identify methodological approaches that correspond to the modern strategy of scientific comprehension of man. The methodology of the research is based on paradigm as a meta-methodology of cultural knowledge, the manifestation of which is discursive variability and interdisciplinary integrity. Structural-functional and phenomenological methods have become key ones to the study of this problem. To change the interpretation of stable semantic constants from positions of post-non-classical knowledge, methods of semiotic analysis and deconstruction are involved. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the definition and disclosure of the essence of methodological approaches, that reveal the specificity of human cognition in the context of the culturological scientific paradigm. Conclusions. Culturological comprehension of a person can be carried out from the standpoint of the following approaches - universalist, individualized and activity-oriented. The approaches identified in the research are an effective methodological tool for cultural science. Synthesis of the proposed approaches makes it possible to identify the relationship between the corresponding levels of development of culture and humanity, culture and man of a certain historical epoch, culture and personality.
