Human Corporality: Postmodernism in the Face of the Russian Philosophy
Abstract
In article views of the Russian thinkers, representatives of philosophy of unity, on the nature of a human corporality are analyzed. Unlike the classical Christian tradition opposing a body as a sin source, to spirit, the Russian philosophers prove the principle of spiritual-corporal unity, need of release of a body from the status of the exclusive carrier of sinfulness which is first of all a spirit illness. The analysis of views of the Russian thinkers showed that they see a body as some kind of substance of the inclinations and passions peculiar to the person, and don’t consider heterogeneity and internal discrepancy of a human corporality. These lines find the specific expression within concrete culture, according to a corporal canon peculiar to this culture. Views of the Russian thinkers are opposite to installations of a postmodernism according to which the body acts as the sphere of game existence and experiment, as some iconic design answering group, conventionally defined values. Follows from ideas of the Russian philosophers that the corporality represents the condition of completeness of human life, which is in deep communication with the sphere of spirit. The Russian philosophy focuses on creative search of those forms of development and spiritual filling of a corporality which would correspond to spirit of culture and the purposes of an eminence of the human person.
