THE UNIVERSAL PICTURE OF THE WORLD AS A PORTAL FOR GHOSTS

Abstract

Ghosts are a traditional element of any worldview. They create the plot of literary works, dreams, and even possess the ability to intervene in the course of historical events. Despite their diversity, they all come from the past, revealing it to the present.The authors of the article believe that ghosts inhabit the social relations of the metaphysical, dialectical, electromagnetic, relativistic, quantum, and postmodern worldviews. Each is characterized by its own mode of thinking and objective activity. This mode is a kind of medium, whose consciousness leaves an imprint on the spirit it evokes.In the mechanical worldview, ghosts affirmed the justice of legal laws; in the dialectical worldview, they affirmed the specificity of romantic consciousness; in the electromagnetic worldview, mediums summoned spirits; in the relativistic worldview, ghosts helped relive aristocratic life; in the quantum worldview, counts were replaced by extraterrestrial intelligence.To become a subject of social relations, a person must internalize the entire history of civilization, which they bring to the object of their relationship. The totality of these interactions preserves the historical past. The authors of the article seek to prove that, by creatingimages of ghosts, consciousness activates from historical memory what corresponds to the mechanical, dialectical, electromagnetic, relativistic, and quantum worldviews. Ghosts are viewed as a means for the historian to consciously penetrate the past.
