Art as a universal language of culture: contemporary contexts of the problems and prospects of research

At the present stage of development of human cognition the understanding of Culture as a complex, self-organising, and historically changing system, intimately associated with the Universe, the Cosmos, and the Absolute Spirit comes and is gradually adopted. Culture is inseparable from Nature and belonging to the Origin of Life, to the Universal Life All-Encompassing Unity and the Living Universe, which itself is in the continuous process of creative self-development. Culture is always deeply spiritual as opposed to the soulless technological civilization. The current intensity of methodological search in the cultural sphere and the desire for the creation of interdisciplinary cultural projects, driven to transdisciplinarity, is explained as a deep (and currently growing) need for the holistic vision of culture, philosophical understanding of the being and the constant variability of Culture as the creative integrity, striving for self-improvement and self-organisation, for development of a comprehensive view of Culture in its idea. Fundamental are the following philosophical questions: How can a single model be organised that defines creativity in its broadest sense, which includes development of the noosphere and the biosphere? How is the holistic vision of the World possible? And the basic question of hermeneutic philosophy is what Sense itself means, and what its place is in the structure of the World?. The research developing in the direction of the integrity of Culture reflects the global aspiration to comprehend the overall harmony of the World, which has caused the formation of an extensive integrative scientific knowledge, spanning the "energy" of the humanities and the natural sciences together, which may in some time contribute to the emergence of a new metascience about the Universe, Culture, Nature, Society, the Human Personality. One of the most pressing issues in this list is the question of the Language of Culture: whether the universal Language of Culture is possible, and whether it could be the language of Art, i.e. can we give it the priority among the other languages of Culture? This question is quite naturally associated with all the above specified global worldview changes in general and the emerging trend of world harmony in particular. Indeed, due to a radical ideological paradigm shift, to the change in emphasis in the philosophical thought of the 20th century and the turn of the 20th-21st centuries, and to the manifestations of attention of the leading philosophers to the language of art and poetry, a deep understanding of the energia, creative nature of Language itself has been achieved. The language of art to the greatest extent indicates the true spiritual essence of Language itself.
