Abstract |
Culturology as a new scientific discipline is notable for its special — interdisciplinary and systematic approach to culture studies. This methodological peculiarity is closely connected with the circumstances in which culturology appeared as well as with the needs of science. The field of culture studies was created by V. Ostwald who designed it as a pinnacle of scientific knowledge about man. A. Bely who appreciated the idea wrote that it was essential for a culturologist to be a poet, a philosopher, a historian and an ethnologist. This combination makes it possible to combine rational research with emotional understanding of culture. Interdisciplinarity of culture studies is also determined by the logic of scientific development. The emergence of culturology signifies a transition from disciplinary approach to interdisciplinarity. The latter considers interaction of the elements in the cultural system. In this respect scientific methodological adjacency is fundamental. |
