摘要:Визначено дві пов’язані між собою методологічноідеологічні проблеми у вивченні езотеризму. Обґрунтовано проблему дослідження гнозису в сучасному науковому дискурсі, виявлено її історикокультурні засади. Класифіковано позиції дослідника езотеризму. Доведено, що проблема інсайдера у сфері езотеризму пов’язана з упередженим ставленням до самого явища, яке поширюється й на дослідника. Запропоновано напрями вирішення зазначених проблем у межах культурології.
其他摘要:The aim of the article is to identify the existing methodological problems in the study of esotericism, to analyze them and suggest ways to solve them. Research methodology. In the analysis of esotericism, an interdisciplinary and cultural approach has been used. Results. Two related methodological and ideological problems in the study of esotericism are identified. The problem of gnosis in modern scientific discourse is substantiated, its historical and cultural premises are revealed. A classification of the researcher’s positions of esotericism is made. It is proved that the “insider’s” problem in the field of esotericism is associated with a biased attitude to the phenomenon itself, which extends to the researcher. The consequences of the closure of esotericism’s researchers in a narrow circle are identified, which interferes with interdisciplinarity. The directions of solving these problems within cultural studies are proposed. Novelty. The solution of methodological problems in the study of esotericism within cultural studies is proposed. The practical significance. The proposed approach will deepen and make more effective the study of esotericism.
