CULTURAL STUDIES IN KONSTANTINE KAPANELI’S PHILOSOPHY: HISTORICAL TYPES OF CULTURE AND ORGANOTROPISM Ibraim Didmanidze
The present paper deals with the analysis of a worldview concept of the modern
Georgian philosopher Konstantine Kapaneli in relation to issues of ontological, axiological and social perception of culture, in particular, the essence of the organotropic principle of the philosophical and sociological theory of culture and conceptual arguments in favor of the organotropic understanding of culture, both European and Oriental.
The work clearly shows that ideological reflection on the essential certainty of historical types of culture in Konstantine Kapaneli’s philosophical research is carried out through such a basic problem of traditional cultural theory as: the mode of existence of culture, the main aspects of its genesis and development, the features of its structural state and
morphological systems; in addition, on the one hand, the relationship between nature, man and culture and, on the other hand, history, culture and civilization. The scientific research defines, analyzes and emphasizes Konstantine Kapaneli's point of view on the issues of mutual influence of culture and society, in particular, the impact of factors of social stability on culture as a certain system of values, social norms of social functioning and trends in cultural development.
The work represents an active attempt to substantiate that Konstantine Kapaneli’s organotropic theory, recognizing the continuous connection between the evolutionary change of a certain type of culture and the dynamics of social processes, has made a very significant, effective and valuable contribution to the history of philosophical thought in the process of creating a unified theory of culture.
