Philosopher as a linguistic persona (case study of M. Mamardashvili's book “Reasoning on thought”)

The author of the article attempts to describe the set of phenomenologically relevant characteristics of the outstanding philosopher linguistic persona of the 20th century M.K. Mamardashvili. The book chosen as the object of the study is a literary work of synthetic character where both scientific-rational and artistic-aesthetic intents have been simultaneously actualized; the interaction of them creates especial stylistic and pragmatic texture of the text. The author appears before the reader as a brilliant master of scientific narrative and artistic word. As the characteristic linguistic properties that individualize the language personality of the author largely determine the heuristic and pragmatic potential of the work, the author of the article stands out: the polyphonism of speech resources, cognitive-noministic neology, triadive constructions, sensory actualization of the word. These text attributes create the infrastructure and instrumental basis to achieve the main objective of the work - revealing the figurative-symbolic basis of thought and at large (in metatextual terms) they illustrate the author's belief system basic premise about the creative nature of true thought. It is concluded that the text and its imbedded intents to renew linguistic means have cross-stimulating character of the text substantive novelty/originality.
