Dialectics of value in the coordinate approach context

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to reveal and substantiate the nature of interaction between the basic (positive) categories of goodness, beauty and truth considered in the context of the value coordinate approach. Research methodology is, in addition to the universal general philosophical method of dialectic, cultural, axiological, historical and comparative approaches, to reveal the essence of the coordinate approach itself, which acts as a methodological model of the functioning of human consciousness and asserts itself in philosophical criticism of Alfred Ayer's verificationism and in the discourse of the main categories of consideration The scientific novelty lies in the critical analysis of A. Ayer's argumentation regarding the denial of the heuristic power of any metaphysical constructions from the point of view of logical positivism and their inability to serve as the basis for the semantic proof of metaphysics. The essence of the objection is based on pointing out the changes in the initial arguments of judgment construction, on which A. Ayer's logical constructions were based, which are the basis of the verification principle. Scientific novelty. As a result of this consideration, the author substantiates the general proposition that since the categories of truth, goodness and beauty cannot be defined conceptually consistent in their final definition and, moreover, cannot be presented in a one-sided representation detached from their coordinate components, their consideration can be carried out only in the synthesis of the figurative and cognitive form on the basis of identifying the position of the subject of judgment. This position is not verified in the established (Ayerian) sense, but becomes the starting point of the impulse to real action. In addition, this position is characterised in the presented discourse as forming the force of motivation (impulse) of the human value movement in reality. Conclusions. The article substantiates the idea that the desire for knowledge, which historically manifested itself in the syncretism of perception and development of the world by archaic man in its modern picture, is formed under the dominant influence of the rational scientific worldview. As an impersonal sphere of social activity, it is perceived as an independent and self-sufficient source of its own generation. At the same time, embodied in the individual consciousness of the subject, the key condition for the functioning of which is the characteristic of integrity, it acts as an incentive to master it as a separate subject. Considered in the value coordinates, cognitive aspiration appears as an ontological force that forms a contradictory triangle, the structure of which is held together by the tension of the value energy of the carrier of consciousness. The existing and historically dominant practice of understanding each of the coordinates of the triangle in isolation from the others leads to a worldview deadlock. It can be overcome if the value coordinate model of the functioning of consciousness is adopted.
