Texture Universe
Modern understanding of the concept of ‘text’ is the result of philological approach, in the framework of which language is information and sign system, the main function of which is communicative one. We believe this interpretation is not complete and may be (should be) revised in the framework of the post-non-classical approach. The subject of our article is language/text/human (as actor of culture) ratio, for what purposes we use logic and critic approaches as parts of post-non-classical methodology. We consider the Universe and the world of culture as a model based on the anthropocentric principle. In this article, we give our own definition of the text in its pre-linguistic, linguistic, and post-linguistic representations. We formulate conception of energy-substance-information objects for post-nonclassical cultural model. The provisions of this model were the theoretical and methodological bases for building a new non-classical philosophy of the text. Our paper is structured in the form of a response to seven questions, each of which contains the need to solve the fundamental problems of science of texts. These questions are: (i) What is the understanding of the text in terms of principle of ‘self-development’ in post-non-classical concept of culture as a model of the Universe? (ii) What is the role of the ‘text’ in linguistic form as a kind of culture representation? (iii) What is the relationship between ‘text’ and ‘reading’ as activities? (iv) Is it true that the sequence of the birth of the text is: actor of culture I - Text I - actor of culture II - Text II -... - Universum? (v) Is it possible to represent text as a set of exemplificates and transcendentates of actor of culture in the framework of post-nonclassical approach? (vi) Is a universal cultural artifact exists? (vii) What is the meaning of ‘culturological analysis’ of the text? We heve analysed text/language/human thougt ratio based on Russian classic poetry (Tyutchev’s and Mandelstam’s verses). The basic factors of our conception are as follows: (i) Attribute signs of both world of the cultural as a model of Universe and the text as a form of culture representation are existence, becoming, self-development, and n-dimension; (ii) The world of culture as a model of the Universe reflects the totality of energy, matter (substance) and information, mastered by man and society; (iii) There are God and human, who are two universal cultural artifacts and Text-creators, and both of them creates by world and through love. We conclude the condition for existence of an actor of culture is a world of culture, created by him. Language-creativity is the mechanism of his existence, becoming and self-development. Enhanced understanding of texts from the simple meaning to the path of understanding the truth involves expanding the boundaries of the world of culture and of its actor’s own ‘I’.
