Abstract

The purpose of the research is to identify the innovative aspects of philosophical dance understanding in the collective monograph by I. Pecheranskyi and D. Bazela "Introduction to the philosophy of dance" in comparison with similar studies of foreign scientists. Methodology. The study uses a comparative method as a device for interpreting various aspects of the dance image knowledge in connection with the ways of different choreographic works existence. Historical, culturological and art-study methods are used in the characteristics of dance as a cultural universals, as a socio-cultural triad and a way of aesthetic self-affirmation and self-improvement. Scientific novelty. An analysis of the newly created monograph by I. Peceransky and D. Basel, published in 2017, has not yet been held, although it contains innovative and relevant provisions on dance as a deep layer of the spiritual world and an inalienable element of human existence. Conclusions. It is fully confirmed by the author's position that the cultural triad of dance is semiotics, art and sport. There is no objection or need for additional substantiation to the authors conclusion of the monograph that the dance, in its ideal and socio-cultural manifestations, generates a practical philosophy that is theoretically presented on the pages of the monograph. The new work of Ukrainian scholars — a philosopher and practitioner as well as a theorist of choreographic art, therefore favorably differs from many of the foreign scholars achievements, which is not the result of purely philosophical reflections, but a product of analytical considerations and substantiated conclusions based on certain dance traditions and creation of specific choreographic patterns.
