Universal Theories

UNIVERSAL GENIUS THEORIES
The universal approach to genius assumes that it is based on universal generative and semantic primary essences, which are the metatheoretical and supercultural explications of the Absolute.
Creativity of a genius is not just the creation of new and useful products, not just the process of effective problem solving and creative self-realization. It necessarily includes the laying on of new meanings, the vision and discovery of fundamentally new realities, the making of transcendent breakthroughs, spiritual discoveries and deeds of a universal scale. Creativity of a genius is determined not only by its sociocultural nature, but also by its universal, cosmic essence, manifested in the realization of the most extreme values, unconditional initial beginnings and higher, concentrated meanings of being into reality.
N. A. Berdyaev believed that the concept of culture and its most important spheres — science and art — cannot serve as the explanatory principle of true, substantial creativity. Creativity of a genius is more like a daring impulse, transcendence, victory over the weight of the objectified world, while the product of creativity in culture is attraction down, submission to necessity.
“Creativity can only be called that which is generated by an original substance that has the power to increase power in the world ... And every creative act is in its essence creativity from nothing, i.e. the creation of a new force, and not a change and redistribution of the old. In every creative act there is an absolute profit, an increase. ”
“In the creative work of“ culture ”, only the tragic duality of human nature, torn from the shackles of necessity, is felt, but a different being is not achieved. ... Creativity in art, in philosophy, in morality, is poured into the public beyond the boundaries of its sphere, does not fit into any classical norms, reveals a rush to the transcendental. The same move beyond the boundaries of art - wrote N.A. Berdyaev, the great Russian writers, Gogol, Dostoevsky , Tolstoy, had a rush to the ultimate and other being. ”
The genius of the master makes the saturation of his life, work and works the highest ultimate meanings, his striving for absolute beginnings. Even Schelling argued that the foundations of genius are in the sphere of the Absolute, and genius is the creator, which embodies the highest spiritual principle. As a result, the creativity of a genius adds to the finite, real being an element of infinity, eternity, absoluteness. Thomas Mann wrote: "The poet does not give rise to the gift of creative fiction, but the gift of spiritualization." Creativity of a genius is built into the flow of creative evolution, it represents co-creation with Universum and manifests itself as a mode of existence of the Absolute or as a theurgy “the action of man together with God - divine action, God-human creativity” (N. Berdyaev), “the substantial unity of creativity”, "Whole creativity", which unites the earthly and heavenly beginnings in sacred creativity (VS Solovyov). Without theurgic aspiration, the nature of human creativity remains incomprehensible (P. Florensky).
The disclosure of the universal essence of genius occurs through a procedure of semantic, metaphysical localization, consisting in its correlation with the first essences and, most importantly, its correlation with the Absolute.
Transcendental structures and schemes drawn by the entity map define the boundaries of various spheres of semantic reality, reveal the hidden dialectics and intertwining of limiting entities, and also define the system of semantic coordinates and life horizons and creativity.
The harmonizing, coordinating and structuring function of the metaphysical "entity map" consists in imposing drawn patterns on reality, in determining gaps and empty places, in highlighting its new possibilities and trends of its development.
Primordial entities are self-sufficient and autonomous, they reflect various ontological and semantic spheres of the human universe, indissolubly connected, but not intermingled in reality. The data of the first essence, as the ultimate bases of being, are not self-sufficient absolutes, but specific substantive moments of living integrity.
The limiting entities themselves are self-generated within the turbulent condensations of meanings caused by two opposing streams: ascending, representing the process of creative imaginative transformation of ultimately generalized philosophical categories and descending, manifested in the chain of revelations, intuitive understandings and discretions of absolute meanings, ultimate bases and goals of being.
Created by the act of pure creativity, the first essences themselves are intentional matrices and generators of creativity. Constructing a harmonious semantic framework of being, they do not draw impassable boundaries, but rather create tempting, encouraging them to overcome, representing a special order generating freedom.
The first essences and initial, absolute universals are:
1. Metaphysical archetectics of Being, its universal framework and "universal supports". They contain universal archetypes, eternal meanings and truths, they are the "initial coordinates", the system of ideals and powerful regulative principles of life activity and creativity.
2. Extremely lively schemes, close, warm, pulsating, breathing and intimate-experienced realities.
3. Instrumental, actionable universals, understood as actionable, superefficient techniques that define the creative matrix of actions. For example: Freedom as reception and even Absolute as reception.
The reality of the first essences that generate, constitute, organize and determine objects and phenomena appears as a harmonious structure of invisible forces that permeate the universe. If in everyday life one can see only their faint reflections, then in genius these forces are manifested in all their obvious brightness and authenticity.
The genius itself, understood as an active, creative, developing substance that constitutes the essential content and driving force of the world process, can be revealed and understood only with the help of a system of primary essentials, which are the most powerful explanatory and regulatory principles.
Genius is a distinctive individuality and at the same time a spiritual field, a unique aura, rich in higher meanings, a creature space, structured by invisible lines of force of the first essences according to the laws of pre-established harmony and transcendent beauty. These lines in a certain order are highlighted in the informative space of genius, as well as magnetic lines of force are drawn with small iron filings scattered on a sheet, closing from pole to pole.
In relation to the phenomenon of genius, the ultimate foundation and primordial essence:
1. Determine, structure and structure the universal essence of genius.
2. They direct as regulative and prescriptive principles that determine the methodological effectiveness and even the prescription of creative actions and efforts of a genius.
