Larin Yu.V. Dreams about culture

Abstract: In the context of polarization of the modern scientific discourse with regards to the assessment of the historical roles and prospects of culture, this article examines the problematics related to the explication of essence and meaning of culturocentrism. Based on the critical analysis of the existing points of view, an idea is formed that in the scale of the global-historical trajectory of humanity – Syncretism of Primordiality – Cosmocentrism of Antiquity – Theocentricism of Medieval Times – Anthropocentrism of Renaissance – Naturocentrism of New Time – Sociocentrism Modern Time – Culturocentrism of Postmodern Time –, the latter can be understood as a quite regularly maturing in this list era of the positioning of culture as a constituting center of the belief system “human-world”. Based on the idea about the structural-functional homology of “rough cores” of the established “centrisms”, the author makes an attempt to model the attributive content of the culturocentric imperatives in ontological, methodological, anthropological, existential, practical, axiological, gnoseological, epistemological, and culturological projections. It is possible that at the present time, “history draws culture” towards where it itself “is being drawn” by culture; thus, each of us unaffected by the level and form of understanding, can be a participant or a creators of the extremely complicated and contradictory phenomena and processes that objectively take place  within the space of namely this attractor. The conclusion is made that the conceptual context of the discussed problematics includes a significant scientific, as well as practically life interest; and the problematics itself requires a serious conceptual study.
