Primitive Concepts. Keys to the Cultural Code
19.99 €
The book deals with the basic concepts fundamental to culture - a kind of universal universals, which are widely used but difficult to define and interpret unambiguously. We are talking, for example, about life and fate, about love and desire, about death and immortality, about power and people, about the real and the possible. The author sets himself the task of revealing the play of each concept, the richness of its meanings, its mental horizon, the variety of contexts into which it can be inscribed. For this purpose, a wide range of philosophical sources is used and many examples from fiction are given. These extremely capacious units of language and thought have power over public consciousness and determine human existence in culture.
