Chernov, S. V. The Problem of Genius From the Point of View of Philosophical Anthropology

Abstract: From the point of view of philosophical anthropology genius is viewed, first of all, as a higher state of human mind and secondly, as a phenomenon of spiritual culture. The author of the article defines the three types of mind, practical mind, positive mind and creative mind. Human is different from other living creatures not because human has a mind but because human has spirits (‘human genius’) presented in mind, consciousness and creative activity as an integrated phenomenon. It is proved that human genius is what triggers human history and develops spiritual culture. In its turn, genius is created by culture in all known forms of culture (religion, art, philosophy, science and education) because it is the main source of spiritual culture.


Keywords:

philosophical anthropology, genius, practical mind, positive mind, creative mind, cognition, creative activity, contemplation of ideas, spiritual culture.
