HOW I UNDERSTAND CULTUROLOGY

The article examines the subject, tasks and ways of forming knowledge of a new humanities science – culturology. In terms of axiological interpretation of the essence of culture, the author proposes his neoaxiologic methodology, as the leading way of investigating complex spheres and types of culture. It emphasizes the need for the sovereignty of cultural studies, as a science that synthesizes a variety of knowledge about culture. The highest task of it, as postulated in the work, is the formation of man as a subject of culture.
