Philosophy of culture in metaphysical search. Article 2. Culture as a vital human world. Metaphysical modificationsof philosophy of life

Metaphysicalsearch for philosophy of culture took place in the general philosophical problem-based field: between the classical and non-classicalphilosophical sects, transcendental idealism and philosophy of life. Following the traditions of classical transcendental philosophy andrecognizing the value of classical metaphysical program, philosophy of culture, though, mainly adopted another, non-classical way ofmetaphysical thinking aiming at the building of a specific variant of philosophizing. Culture as a whole reflects the variety of humanlife, historical motion of cross-cultural community and international interaction between different cultures; it is a vital and dynamic integrity.Today, the concept of understanding of Culture as the Vital World of Humanity becomes most relevant, developed on thebasis of the philosophical idea of life. In the course of metaphysical search, the wisdom of philosophers who have an idea about thedepth of lively life naturally appears to be weightier than rational cognition, and life is put in the forefront, it becomes the focus ofphilosophers attention, it begins to play a key role in philosophy. And we are speaking about life as a philosopheme with a vast conceptualcontent, significant philosophical meaning. Life is comprehensive, life is everywhere: one can speak about spiritual life, human life,life of nature, life of the world. Therefore, this philosopheme unifies the God, the Man, the Humanity, Nature, Beauty, Creativity, theUniverse, etc. Life is used to denote the fullness, the organic integrity and the creative dynamics of the Objective Reality: Objective Realityitself is comprehended as Life or a vital element. This change in understanding the Objective Reality of philosophical life (anticipatedby Heraclitus as far back as in high antiquity), the variety of philosophical meanings of the concept of life have facilitated thepossibility of emerging metaphysics variants. Creation of the culture of metaphysics or diverse metaphysics of life assumes the developmentof variants of metaphysics of the Universality, metaphysics of human objective reality, metaphysics of memory, metaphysics ofcreativity. The formation and development of philosophy of culture generated a considerable change of metaphysics, moreover, evokeda considerable change of metaphysics of philosophy at large for metaphysics of culture has its own specificity. To understand this specificityis the goal for philosophers of culture, which is most important in a rather complicated cultural situation of today as well.
