The behavioral paradigm in Old English discourses «Precepts» and «Fates/Fortunes of Men»

Abstract

The article analyzes two Old English discourses: «Precepts» and «Fates/Fortunes of Men», which had been written before the end of the X century. The author proves, that the behavior paradigm, reflected them, firstly, is unified, secondly, is focused on the provision of individual freedom of choice. Responsibility for the consequences rests with one, who had made the choice. Exit beyond the recognized society paradigm of behavior could lead to the remove of the offender from society. Examples of such exiles contain Anglo-Saxon сharters of the X century.
