Culturology. Textbook. Moiseev V.I., Orlov O.A., Krasilnikova M.N.

In this publication, an attempt was made to build a new type of cultural textbook, which is based on the theory of culture, and not just a description of various spatio-temporal types and forms of culture. The main task of the concept put forward by the authors is the synthesis of various theories of culture and the formation of an integral image of culture as a kind of smart collective world of rational living beings. In this regard, the central understanding of culture as a special world, the world-being, in which the phenomenon of the collective and individual mind is born and evolves. Category "Mir-being", i.e. Genesis as a world gives us the design of the construction of cultural studies a pronounced ontological character. An important methodological basis for authors is also a structuralist approach that allows you to express the phenomenon of culture as a system of certain subject-loaded structural formations.

The textbook is intended for students of medical and pharmaceutical specialties students at the course of cultural studies.
