THE WORLD PICTURE AS A PRODUCT OF INFORMATIONAL AND COMMUNICATIVE INTERACTION: IDEAS, MEANING, MEANING

Abstract

An important specific feature of human existence is associated with the practical impossibility of perceiving reality in all its interdependencies and cause-and-effect relationships. This state of affairs is not a consequence of a priori bias or insufficient objectivity in the perception of the world by man and humanity – the essence of the problem is due to another reason: even under conditions of a completely sincere desire to perceive realities as adequately as possible, the implementation of such an intention in practice is quite problematic given the complex conditioning of systemic realities by many contexts and subtexts, as a result of which one mostly has to deal with the iceberg effect, when the visible part of an object constitutes only a tiny part of its total size, therefore, forming an impression of the entire object on the basis of this part is obviously ungrateful and doomed to profanation. To overcome this obstacle to the correct perception of objective realities, humanity resorts to the services of world pictures – peculiar schemes and models that perform the function of adaptive prolegomena that systematize and categorize the entire array of ideas about the world according to certain semantic and meaning clusters, significantly helping human consciousness at the initial stages of perception of reality.
