Сategory of the space in humane discourse

Abstract

In the article the studies of space in the humanitarian disciplines are considered , their phasing, main vectors and consistent logic of development in the context of the cultural and civilizational experience of mankind are traced. The stable tendency of filling with culturally determined attributes spatial objects and phenomena is noted. It is shown how through the axiological diagnostics of space and its components in philosophy, culturology, humanitarian geography, and literary criticism, the ontological and spiritual world of a person is researched, the national character, typologies of features of mentality are revealed, worldview landmarks and the ways of thinking are concretized. The great heuristic potential of spatial images for the study of the structure, semantics, stylistics and poetics of literary works is emphasized.
