The author of the article aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of sources of Spanish origin, since they constitute the most significant category of documents used by Amerindologists. At the same time, it draws attention to the historiography of the topic. Conditionally, it is divided into two groups: works that highlight the general features of the entire pantheon of Aztecs and those that analyze the cult of Tezcatlipoca itself and its characteristics. The use of the linguistic method in connection with the names of Tezcatlipoca allows us to understand the functions that the Aztecs bestowed on this god and more accurately interpret the mentioned deity. Particular attention is paid to the translation of Nahuatl names and the explanations given by the authors of the sources. Comparing the names of the god and the descriptions of his cult, created after the conquest, allows us to trace how the Europeans could at their own discretion treat Tezcatlipoca as an individual representative of the pantheon and how the autochthonous population of central Mexico saw it. In addition to the analysis of names, the paper reviews the main holidays in honor of Tezcatlipoca, compares the testimony of different sources on this occasion. In this context, the prayers and typical sacrifices of the worship of this god are analyzed. This allows to expand the range of ideas about the essence and functions of Tezcatlipoca, as well as to trace the various local variants of his cult within central Mexico The article also explores the legends that cite sources of Spanish descent about Tezcatlipoca. Because of this, two different traditions of mythological tradition about the mentioned god were distinguished. One is likely to relay events in the history of Tollan in the form of a legend, while the other reflects representations of the creating of the world and the role of Tezcatlipoca in this. Moreover, the first variant of the myth of the mentioned god has differences in different sources of Spanish origin, which allows for a more thorough analysis of these testimonies. Further development of the problematic issue is to attract sources of pre-colonial age, which will help to create a more thorough understanding of this cult.

This article aims to determine the meaning of metaphor for revealing the metaphysical foundations of aesthetics, as well as to analyze the methods reflected in the philosophy of Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, and Mamardashvili. Their works clarify the structure of the metaphysical metaphor and its aesthetic matrix. Since old times, the aesthetic thought viewed the concept of the language of metaphor with its dual ambiguity, various metaphorical figures as the structures internally connected with the categorical reflection on the system of art; and the metaphor itself was considered as the form of semantic perception and creation of the artistic landscape. Revealing the place of aesthetics within the structure of metaphysics, the author views the aesthetic role of the metaphorical within metaphysics, complexity of interrelation between the concept of metaphor and fundamental metaphysical category of existence. The world scientific literature features numerous works that view metaphor as a rhetorical figure. However, the research of metaphysical metaphor is rare. This article is first within the Russian-language literature to outline the approaches towards the aesthetic comprehension of metaphysical metaphor, as they are reflected in the philosophy of Heidegger and Derrida. They reveal intuition of the metaphor as metaphysics, describe the representation of metaphysical metaphor of light, interpret the transcendental ego as metaphor, and elucidate the concept of the substance of metaphor. Special attention is given to the aesthetic-metaphysical interpretations of metaphor in the modern Russian philosophy.

This research is dedicated to examination of a specific role of landscape in symbolism. Based on comprehensive analysis of the works of symbolists and artists of their circle – Segantini, Böcklin, Gauguin, Nesterov, Čiurlionis, the author attempts to determine the characteristic features of using the images of nature in the overall system of pictorial artistic-aesthetic expression. Special attention is paid to the problem of inscription of human figures into landscape, as in doing so many symbolists and artists of their circle were bringing the landscape to life, forming a special creative space. Landscape of symbolists is viewed as a peculiar animated space that carries a mediating role between the visually palpable images and indescribable pleroma of metaphysical being. Such approach to symbolism is considered innovative. In the course of this research, it is demonstrated that special artistic space as a carrier of symbolic meanings or a spirit of symbolism in painting emerges in each painters a set of artistic means of expression characteristic only to their works. At the same time, some symbolists view the unreachable in external forms of visible nature by focusing attention of the opposition of earth and sky, life and death, human and divine beginning, reality and its mythological grounds. Some symbolists create the world of practically abstract and musically accented color forms and graphic solutions. While others paint landscape imbued with tranquility, tenderness and picturesque hymns of the Creator. In general, symbolic landscape leans towards a fairly vivid philosophical aspect.

The urgency of the research resulted from the need for a comprehensive analysis of all dimensions of personal somatic existence, its structural changes and variability, possible transformations and functioning within the information society, and, consequently, determining the role of body in the latest social tendencies. Target setting. The paper reveals the main aspects of somatic issues and the "theory of the body for the Other" suggested by J. P. Sartre in one of his main works "Being and Nothingness". To achieve this goal the theoretical and methodological foundations of somatic issues in the scientific discourse of the 20th - early 21st centuries have been studied. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. E. Husserl, J. Lacan, M. Merleau-Ponty, J. P. Sartre, Z. Freud, representatives of surrealism (J. Bataille, A. Arto), French poststructuralism (R. Barth, J. Deleuze, F. Guattari, J. Baudrillard, M. Foucault) and studies by M. Bakhtin, Y. Lotman, A. Losev had a significant influence on the understanding of the body as a cultural universal. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Examining the originality of Sartre's ideas about the body and "body-for-the-Other", the peculiarities of the existential understanding of a man, especially his body characteristics, have been determined. The analysis of the work "Being and Nothingness" makes it possible to study the theory of "body-for-the-Other," its components, to clarify three ontological dimensions of the body and the relations with others as basic in Sartre's philosophy. The research objective. To reveal the main aspects of the somatic problems of J.P. Sartre's “theory of the body for the Other”, suggested by him in one of the major works “Being and Nothingness” and explore the further transformation of the concept of the Other in its bodily aspects in the context of the problem of identity. The statement of basic materials. The category of the Other is peculiar because with its help Sartre explains the existence of a man. The existence of the Other must be recognized as an inviolable fact. And this is what allows a person to discover their own existence. As a result, a person finds themselves not as a subject who knows, but as a certain state (shame, pride, fear, nausea), as actual existence. And it is impossible to find this existence in oneself only by means of the Other. By alienating a person's abilities and capabilities, the other makes self-reflection possible - the person (I) finds these states and tries to objectify them again. Objectification, the appropriation of a person's own capabilities and abilities is empirically carried out by the relation of bodies. The body of the other, allowing the man to open his body, organizes the world in a certain order. Therefore, Sartre's body, both mine and the body of the other, is the value of meaning. Conclusions. These studies laid the foundation for the tradition of analyzing the phenomenon of the Other, which has become central to the postmodern tradition. The paper reveals the features of the influence of the above ideas on the socio-cultural space, in particular on the example of the problem of identity and the theory of the Other.

Role Of Religion

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "
