On the specifics of the experience of G. D. Gachev's cultural and philosophical reflection

The article is devoted to the multidimensional nature of Gachev's experience of cultural and philosophical reflection. The epistemological, axiological, ethnopsychological and aesthetic perspectives of Gachev's philosophical and creative heritage are inseparable from the specifics of his way of comprehending various facets of ethnocultural diversity and art, which he defined as an “attracted thinking”. This method synthesizes, according to the philosopher, logical constructions and emotional response to the subject of reflection, as well as a number of his own concepts. In this regard, it is worth noting the correlation in the works of George Gachev of the shared position of Wilhelm Dilthey and Mikhail Bakhtin regarding the heuristic potential of “getting used to” in the subject of scientific research with a number of author's concepts. Introducing the concept of “Cosmo-Psycho-Logos”, the scientist wrote about 20 volumes devoted to the genesis and uniqueness of national images of the world, as well as the artistic aspect of cultural diversity. According to G. D. Gachev, his concepts and ideas belong to such a field of humanitarian knowledge as existential cultural studies. The article focuses on the fact that the semantic capacity of the thinker's texts and the stylistic uniqueness of the argumentation of his views are largely due to the author's attitude to the combination of the dialectical method with the principles of historicism and “figurative a priorism”.
