‘Pre-Word’ Nature of Human. Nature of the Thought
// Philosophy and Culture.
2010. ¹ 8.
P. 28-35.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=57571
Abstract:
The article shows that modern philosophy is not interested in origins of being or human any more. Now modern philosophy is starting to address the limits of the possible where cognition turns into the basics of human nature. The author discusses the idea that the thought comes before the word, from one hand, and it is the basis of silence, on the other hand. This is why it can be said that the thought is in ‘pre-word’ and ‘in the word’ at the same time. When it is in the pre-word, the thought does not have any full or complete meaning and it is paradoxical. This is why the thought is mysterious as silence itself

Abstract:
There is quite a number of works devoted to the symbol. Symbol is studied from all points of view.

Meanwhile, many anthropological issues cannot be considered without addressing to philosophical understanding of human
