Trufanova, E. O. Escapism and Escapist Consciousness: Terms and Definitions

Abstract: The main goal o this article is to clarity the term ‘escapism’, to analyze how it originated and how it is used in modern socio-humanitarian sciences. It is shown that the term ‘escapism’ is very rarely studied in philosophy and therefore, it needs a thorough analysis. The author suggests that we should view escapism not only from the point of view of alienation of a person from the other world but also as an efficient creative force as one of the elements of individual consciousness.

Keywords:

philosophy, escapism, Self, identity, escape, consciousness, dissociation, imagination, reality, virtual.
