BEING HUMAN AND BEING VISIBLE. NEAREST TASKS OF STUDYING OF VISUAL PARAMETERS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
In this article, I formulate the tasks of multidisciplinary research of “optical” aspects of culture. I argue the thesis that the solution of problem the systematic explication of the ontological meaning and existential status of the visual and semiotic aspects of culture as a communicative environment is needed in our time. This decision can become a conceptual basis for an approach of humanities to relevant theoretical descriptions of human. Such description is available in a new philosophical anthropology, which is based on the communicative definition of human being. Definition of the place, role and forms of visual semiotic activities in the cultural communicative structure of human existence – this is the first task of contemporary anthropological research. The importance of this task is determined by the prospect of productive convergence of semiotics and ontology in the field of anthropological knowledge. This convergence should become a methodological platform for theoretical foundation of human existence as a cultural communicative praxis.
Keywords: anthropology, ontology, human existence, the visual aspects of culture, communication, practice
