Chronotopia: chronotope and chronotype
The article deals with chronotopia which the authors of the article view as a theoretical section. It also highlights differences between the concepts "chronotope" and "chronotype" and points out that they belong to different subject fields. The authors define "chronotopia" as the theory and methodology of spatio-temporal diagnostics. The concept "chronotopia" implies studying transdisciplinary objects, interaction between different chronotopes and chronotypes (for example, the "chronotopia of the city", the "chronotopia of the country"). The significance of chronotopia is determined not only by the need for systematization, but also by the orientation towards revealing the values of human existence in the forms of time-space. The authors use Professor Konev's philosophical conception of Dante's coordinates and Cartesian coordinates, representing two different directions in the space of human existence during the Renaissance and Modern Period, which model not only the direction of movement in space, but also the metrics, rhythm and value of time movement. This allows of studying the choice of existence values in the postnonclassical vein. In some cases the ideas of time and place consolidate people, and in cases of collision they separate people. Understanding and studying these processes can be viewed as one of the most exciting challenges for thinking people.
