THE PROBLEM OF A HUMAN BEING IN G.P. SCHEDROVITZKY’S STA-METHODOLOGY
This article deals with the problem of the anthropologic discourse in G. P. Schedrovitzky’s STA-methodology. The author proves that the anthropologic immanence is characteristic for Schedrovitzky’s thoughts, and the formal absence of anthropologic texts in his works is caused by historic context and the metatext of the Soviet Union’s reality of the second half of the XX century. In the following article the Schedrovitzky’s anthropologic ideas are reconstructed. The main idea holds that a man is not just born but created, as belonging to humanity is defined not only by genotype but the inclusion into the structures of action and thinking. Mental activity is a substance that comes to life through its own organ - a human being. Each individual is a material (on which action and thinking are “parasitizing”) and an element (as he occupies a definite cluster in the structure) of the mental activity system. People are occupying stated positions in the system, adopting the mechanisms of thinking and types of activities peculiar to those very positions. This is what defines their perception of the world. A man with rigidly fixed position is only a “cog” in the system. At the same time, an individual can adopt the mechanisms of thinking and types of activities of any other position, gaining, this way, a possibility to change his own one. This “freely moving through the system” man is a personality. Schedrovitzky’s humanistic pathos consists in convincing that the development of STA-methodology would lead to the appearance of thinking generation of people.
