Article type
Annotation The article describes the Russian concepts of ‘Rassudok’ (Reason), ‘Um’ (Mind), ‘Razum’ (Intellect) and ‘Mudrost’’ (Wisdom). They are presented by the reconstruction of the conceptual field of conscience, founded by the author on the basis of conceptology. The essence of this method is as follows: by successive removal of the elements of the text that are non-essential for the predicate, the source denotatum is revealed, which represents both the substantive meaning and the scope of the concept, and in the text designata are found that combine the verbal meaning and the contents of the concept. The consecutive connection of denotata and designata builds completed concepts of the general meaning that expresses the concept as a whole. Semantic constants are built on the basis of the denotata that express the full amount of the potential “causality” that was presented as early as in the theory of “four causes” of Aristotle: the base, the condition, the cause, the purpose. The correlation between the expressed attributes reveals the duality of thought and action – ‘Intellect-Reason’ and ‘Mind-Wisdom’ respectively. ‘Wisdom’ is the highest form of ‘Mind’ that comprehends essences. ‘Mind’ and ‘Wisdom’ absorb ‘Reason’ and ‘Intellect’ as operating powers of thought. The article presents readings of the texts in discursive projection - as subtexts of the statements by authors that subconsciously operated with concepts of the Russian conscience that are hidden behind the words.
