THE PHENOMENON OF BIEDERMEIER CULTURE AND ITS CHAMELEONIC CHARACTER

Abstract

The article analyzes the Biedermeier culture as a translator of the «chameleon character», which makes it possible to single it out as a special phenomenon in the sociodynamics of cultures. It generalizes and clarifi es its essence, the reasons for its formation, subject-object relations in the Biedermeier philosophy of culture, an analogy is drawn between philosophical ideas and the formation of the spiritual and moral foundations of the philistine, which are infl uenced by traditional, eternal, patriarchal values, as well as established political and social economic conditions. The article focuses on the moment of change in value hierarchical structures, when new meanings, new semantic combinations are generated, which gradually penetrate the cultural code, and then take root and become established in the culture. The relevance of this work is connected with the ontological, axiological and epistemological value of the Biedermeier culture, the presence of philosophical content in it, refl ecting its anthropological and sociocultural essence in the context of the general laws of development of cultures, is postulated.
