Stasevich V. Culture as an axiological phenomenon of the being (social and philosophical analysis of the nature and hierarchy of culture).

The over-all analysis of culture within the axiological and phenomenological methodology is undertaken in the work when culture itself is treated as a social phenomenon of the being according to its essence. The idea of authentics of the axiological method towards the phenomenon of culture is examined and grounded here; heuristic possibilities of the category "value" in defining new contents of culture are singled out too. The investigation of morphology and hierarchy of culture has been done on the thesis, the fundamental values of culture which form its modality and level of hierarchy have been deternimed in the work. The genesis and dinamics of the beginning and forming and the forming of culture as valuable and sensitive reality and axiosphere of the being are presented here. The analysis of the content of hierarch levels of culture: absolute values (cultural universals), certain historical values, existancial and personal values of a man is proposed in the thesis.
