Historicity and history in the intellectual culture of the 21st century

Actualization of historicity in the intellectual culture of the second half of the 20th c. became one of the manifestations of the "historical turn" in scientific knowledge. The author looks at the works by philosophers, anthropologists, historians, philologists to understand what the content of this turn is and how historicity is perceived at the beginning of the third Millennium. It is shown that the problem of historicity has been discussed for several decades in line with anti-theleological thought, which gradually rehabilitated the gaps in history, the virtu ality of the past, the fundamental nature of the relational interaction between the past and the present. Differences between historicity in classical cognition and in the intellectual culture of late 20th - early 21st cc. are revealed; peculiarities of the conceptualization of historicity at the intersection of philological and historical perspectives are discussed, as well as transdisciplinary origin of the syntagma regime of historicity, its relationship with the temporal turn in cognition and cognitive processes in research activities.
