CULTURAL PHENOMENA AND THE OBJECTIVE IDENTITY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE

Abstract

The phenomenon of culture as a being that appears to us in its internal structure is a subject. In the subject, being as an upcoming (“standing before”) is captured by a cultural meta, a means (tool, symbol, sign, universal) and consciousness is in a situation of mutual representation of the object and m eta, which determine its internal counter-intentionality. This cycle of intentionality makes it possible to single out a person’s active ability, which could be called energy. In our opinion, it is quite reasonable to use this term from the religious sphere of life as a secular concept to denote an idealized active ability. In the perspective of its development, it is appropriate to interpret energy as a spirit in its secular interpretation. The definition of “pure”, for example, “pure reason” by I. Kant, means “non-objective”, freed from any objective certainty and therefore demarcated (separated) from objectivity. A meaningful understanding of the spirit is thus associated with bifurcation.
