GENESIS AND CONCEPTUALISATION OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE IDEOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF THE 19th CENTURY

Abstract

The author of the paper proves the thesis that the most fundamentally significant anthropic turn in the understanding of man in philosophy occurred (contrary to the widespread point of view) not in the Renaissance epoch, but in the 19th century. This thesis is demonstrated by constructing models of worldviews of historical epochs in European culture and philosophy. The paper demonstrates that the Renaissance era was the most important step towards anthropocentrism on the path of “deification” of man in a number of very influential philosophical teachings of the 19th century. This approach makes it possible to determine the content and typological positions in the history of culture – the essential characteristics of the relationship between philosophy, science and religion, which is significant for modern historical and philosophical research. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the development of philosophical thought about man and his place in the world, in the history of philosophy.
