Abstract
. The article is devoted to the axiological dimension of cognitive science and philosophy of mind. The relationship between the philosophy of language and the philosophy of consciousness is shown through the prism of semiotic research. A sketch of the categorical map“Cognitive issues of consciousness: the values of ethos and aesthesis” is proposed in the unity of the concepts of consciousness, ethos, aesthesis, cognitive values, relationships. A comparative analysis of the basic terms of the categories of the map is presented, an internal connection of the phenomena behind them is established. It is concluded that consciousness in everyday manifestations is a “fact” that gives rise to fundamental questions about the nature of the value of ethos and aesthesis. The author emphasizes that cognitive values — rationality, truth, usefulness — are different in ethos and aesthesis, which is due to three main factors: so-ciocultural conditions for the implementation of cognitive activity, philosophical reflection on the content of these values, and the predominant type of objects of cognitive activity.
