CONCEPT <i>TRUTH</i> IN THE PHILOSOPHICAL DISCOURSE OF F. BACON
Statement of the problem. The article concerns the semantic-and-cognitive analysis of the concept Truth in the philosophical discourse of F. Bacon. The means of the verbal explication of the concept Truth are analyzed. Its central and peripheral features are determined. The cognitive basis of the concept Truth are revealed. The types and features of this concept are described, the cognitive model of the concept is represented. The features of F. Bacon`s linguistic personality are determined on the basis of the semantic-and-cognitive analysis. Results. In F. Bacon`s philosophical discourse the concept Truth has the discrete cognitive structure explicated by the 10 types of truth, that comprise the two cognitive clusters depending on the specificity character of the cognitive basis. Most of the presented types of the concept Truth show the assosiative parallel between truth and other objects (hill, light, pearl, etc.). Mechanical, physical, chemical properties and constructive members of the object of reality are determined as the bases of the metaphorical projection. The revealed features of the linguistic personality of F. Bacon characterize him as a naturalist striving to explain the nature of ephemeral, intangible phenomena on the basis of the well proved experimental data have been determined. Sociocentricity and humanizm of Bacon`s linguistic personality are proved. A large scale of truth description, its correlation with the phenomena of the Universe penetrating into the all spheres of human life characterize F. Bacon as religious, philosophical and politically-oriented linguistic personality.
