Miforitual system in optics of the semantic-genetic theory of culture by A. Pelipenko

The article deals with the second part of the fundamental work of the Russian scientist-culturologist Andrei Pelipenko «Comprehension of History» - «Miforitual system». Book 1. «Mediation paradigm» (2017). The author applies his semantic-genetic theory of culture to the analysis of general and systemic characteristics of the mythical system - the first of two fully realized in the history of cultural macrosystems. The book interprets the co-evolution of the immanent development of man as a cultural being and his external collective history - the history of the system and institutional structures of culture. The analysis is carried out on the base of mediation paradigm, which refers to quantum mechanics, to cosmological, biological, neurophysiological and mental slices of reality. The key provisions of the mediation paradigm are the concepts of the ontological status of the transcendent world and the field properties of culture. The author leaves no stone unturned from the paradigmatics of the general scientific discourse, which is positivist in its essence and reflects, despite being equipped with the latest post-non-classical ideas, the view of the world of the 19th century with its inherent prejudices of vulgar-mechanistic rationalism.
