Rodniy O. The Philosophy of Man and the Culture of Popular Laughter: Boundaries of the Renaissance Dialogue.

The object is the Renaissance world view dialogism. The aim is a historical and philosophical reconstruction of dialogue of Renaissance philosophy and culture of laughter of the epoch. The methods are comparative, dialectical, hermeneutics, phenomenology, existentialism. The thesis suggests both historical and philosophic conceptualization of philosophical awareness and ridicule worldview as a "boundary" construction of the Renaissance cultural dialogue essential both for the l disclosure and for the identification of a worldview dialogism in its spatiotemporal area. The culture of popular laughter, which was established in the midst of the Renaissance philosophy formation, is dealt with as a form of its "other-being" in frames of cultural dialogue, which had exposed an epistemological border of dialogism crucial for the mentality of the epoch. The rationale of such view of their relatedness lies in tracing the controversy of laughter definitions and manifestations as "otherness", which marked the foundation of the Renaissance philosophy and problematized - as an irresistible confrontation of "self's other" and radical "otherness" - gnosiological foundations of dialogics laid on the Renaissance "background" through assertion of multiplicity of ways to a unique truth. A "transitive" nature of the Renaissance philosophy is related to a specific "dialogisation" of philosophical reflection and its historical and cultural bases, under which its space acquires "openness" significant for further "self-renewal" of a theoretical worldview "kernel" in historical time. Application sphere is the training courses.
