Zapesotsky, A. S. Vyacheslav Stepin’s Activity and Semiotics Theory of Culture

Abstract: The article contains the analysis of Vyacheslav Stepin’s views on culture. It is shown that the combination of these views constitutes an articulate, fundamental theory that makes a significant contribution to cultural studies. Vyacheslav Stepin’s works create a multidimensional, summative and coherent ‘picture of the culture’. Culture is viewed as the system of supra-biological activity programs, specific method of coding social information, system of social and spiritual programs. Particular attention is paid at Vyacheslav Stepin’s cultural universals understood as the main elements of the system. It is also underlined that tere is a certain organic interaction between philosophical and culturological categories. It is proved that Vyacheslav Stepin’s theory of culture has a significant meaning both for theory and researches.


Keywords:
