MOTIVES OF POSTMODERN IN HELLENISTIC PHILOSOPHY (ALIENATION AND FORMATIONAL CRISIS ON THE EXAMPLE OF CYNICISM)

Abstract

Our time is the era of postmodern. It ruptures with the pursuit of truth, because being is unfathomable, and expresses opinions but not knowledge through short stories. These stories aren`t represented as a system and their writing is consistent not with the laws of being but with the rules of the conversation or game. Therefore such stories are written not seriously and they claim neither on explanation nor on change the world. Such renunciation from systematicity, rationality and practical significance leads philosophy on the road of self-negation or “deconstruction”. History of philosophy gets trend from “construction” to “deconstruction”. However, transition from modern to postmodern doesn't exhaust history of philosophy. Its holistic contemplation reveals cyclic alternation of “construction” and “deconstruction”: systems of Democritus and Plato and “Various Stories”, scholastic scholarship and “Letters of Obscure Men”, systems of Hegel and Marx and “Tympan” of Derrida. This cyclic recurrence allows to search regularities in the history of philosophy, determines the relevance of the analysis of internal (philosophical) and external (social) reasons for such oscillations.
