Polischuk, V. I. History and Culture in the Philosophy of Culture

Abstract: The author of the present research article raises a question about the concurrence or nonoccurrence of historical development and cultural development. The author shows that history is a natural and rather spontaneous process of human development while culture is an associated type of being. Creating his own species, human eliminates spontaneity and naturality in his own development, creates the visibility of being and therefore turns history into culture. Human is not always satisfied with the culture because he does not have so much power to change the culture. In the article the author uses general scientific methods, in particular, hypothetical-deductive, analytical and comparative analysis methods. The author shares his own views on culture as something created by a subject. Creating his own species, human eliminates spontaneity and naturality in his own development, creates the visibility of being and therefore turns history into culture.
