Power and Experience of the "Sacred": Philosophical and Anthropological Discourse
The article analyzes the interaction of such structures of consciousness and being as "power" and "sacred", in which attention is focused on the fact that the realization of power in the anthropological perspective necessarily involves communion with the experience of the "sacred". It is noted that the cultural and symbolic nature of power is largely due to the peculiarities of the development of human speech and imagination. Specificity of sacralization and desacralization of power in the system of cultural and symbolic interactions is demonstrated. It is emphasized that the essence of power as a subject of philosophical anthropology lies in its ability to sa-cralize violence.
