Anthropological Crisis and Intellectual Practices: Diagnostics Experience

The article is devoted to the problem of analysis of dynamics of intellectual activity in modern culture. The authors consider intellectual practices in a system of hierarchies of eidetic, existential, and cognitive manifestations of reality. An attempt is made to justify the hierarchical system of actants of intellectual activity, which includes initiators, stakeholders and the very system of intellectual cultural practices. Particular attention is paid to identifying and substantiating the system of text communications that form the common space of intellectual culture. The authors focus on the semantic elements of cultural texts that create a space for semiotic generation. Such generation becomes an indispensable condition for the formation, on the one hand, of a cultural personality, on the other hand, a system of cultural codes capable of creating a historical dynamics of development. The authors point to a possible reading of truth as a level of intellectual saturation of a number of interpretations united by a common goal of understanding. Then the textual existence of culture (simultaneously sensual and rational) can be represented as a special kind of intellectual culture, integrating in the system of forms and senses sensory perception and intellectual-logical action as a simultaneous insight act of understanding. This act of understanding provides in the being of the individual in the intellectual space of modern culture, where the rational and the irrational are closely intertwined in the most bizarre forms. It is necessary to build a new version of communication on the basis of integrated social and cultural schemes and models. Such communication includes a compulsory set of intellectual practices. The authors conclude that there is a significant expansion of the list and format of intellectual practices, which also include artistic practices that require compulsory interpretation.
