Introduction of concept value archetypal complex on the basis of Russian and German cultures

This article presents the concept ofa value archetypal complex (VAC) as a gist of culture. The value archetypal complex is a psychologically determined choice made bythe primary group of people (that later became a nation) of interaction between the psychological and spiritual bases, which definedits peculiarity and its historical way. These interactions are absolute development of the idea of a people in space and time in the contextof general movement towards solving the problem of struggle or cooperation of the worlds bases. The VAC is determined by thefollowing concepts and interactions between them. The nature archetype as an interaction between nature and human includes amodel behaviour in situations of life, death, birth, humans attitude to nature as a physical world and as a sacred nature. The socialarchetype as a superstructure above natural, relations between a human and the society include characteristics and allocation of keyagents (leader, hero, woman). A relative value in human understanding is an absolute value, an idea and ideal. It also is somethingthat a human takes from the social life as a creative work result. The absolute truth can be understood as a human desire to transformthe world in order to remove the worlds discreteness. Having compared the contents of German and Russian cultures the followingmodels of the VAC were determined: 1. Western European VAC. Relations between the human and nature. Nature is understood asan inanimate material and the humankind rapidly changes it. As a result of rationalism and subjectivism, the industry-oriented economybased on competition appears. But the human also refers to nature; it means that the human itself is not divine. The result is therejection of God and the absolute truth as if it does not exist. Relations between the human and the society. The triumph of thewomans archaic beginning over the hero and his death. The leader is under her will. The womans beginning as something intuitive,spontaneous is the source of irrational. The mans beginning is under the womans total control. The hero as an exponent of a powerfuland independent position dies. Womans irrational beginning promotes the leaders actions. And these actions place themselves informal rationalism. 2. Russian VAC. Relations between the human and nature. Nature is something spiritual, divine; the human triesto stay in contact with it. As a result, imaginable, intuitive world cognition, resource-oriented type of management appears. The humancreates his world without destruction of the natural one. Relations between the human and the society. Equality between thewomans image and the hero that stand under the pressure of the leader. The leader personifies God. Womans beginning means peoplessoul that turns to the hero and personifies his assistant and his reward. This hero stands as a society (a new type of relations)creator. In these relations the human bids a farewell to the mythological past where the human is under an absolute control of nature.The leader unites the womans beginning and the hero and provides external relations and contacts with other nations and with God.
