Formation of cultural systems as a gnosiological problem

Existing of the majority of approaches to reconstruction of cultural and historical reality is the fact of modern philosophical consciousness. The philosophy of life tells about the way of philosophizing as constructing. Post-modernist tradition insists on such identical name for philosophical comprehension of this subject like deconstruction. R. Bart regards philosophizing within the framework of structural tradition as modeling activity. Practical identity of concepts of constructing, reconstructing, modeling permits to determine methodology of philosophizing as conceptual modeling. Conceptual models represents the conjugation of subjective and objective as a conjugation of subjective human activity and cultural and historical reality. It means "constructing" and "modification of primary reality" also. Conceptual model represents also the conjugation of value system of gnosiologi-cal subject and paradigmatic values of modeling cultural and historical reality as the specific field of research firstly. Secondly, conceptual model is the conjugation of value system of a subject and a value content of epoch with an investigator in it. Such conjugation is a condition of permanent renewal of the majority of conceptual models and cultural systems. That is why the majority of cultural systems is a norm. All cultural systems can be referred to absolutist or relative type. Recognition of invariability and totality of value content of culture, the only one criterion of well-development, the only one direction of cultural dynamics and succession of cultural and historical changes belong to absolutist conceptual modeling. Recognition of limited temporal and spatial existing of value bases leads to an idea of culture as coexistence of qualitative original cultures. Only their own distinctive basis values, determining criterion of well-development and the direction of development of this culture are their base. It belongs to relative conceptual modeling.
