YESTERDAY THAT ALWAYS AHEAD: THE EXISTENTIALITY OF WAR

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the existential of war and the inevitability of the "rupture of being". This ontological catastrophe is presented as a radical rupture in the fabric of existence, where the world of yesterday does not sink into the past but becomes a future explicated through the destruction of familiar foundations. This process is metaphorically defined by the author as "yesterday that is always ahead". The purpose of the study is to analyze being in the rupture, which unfolds within the boundary situation caused by war. The methodological basis of the work includes: the world-existential views of K. Jaspers, the hermeneutic concept of the "interpretive grid" by I. P. Culiano, E. Illouz's theory of "negative relationships", the social-critical ideas of industrial society by H. Marcuse, J.-L. Marion's phenomenology of saturated phenomena, A. Dufourmantelle's philosophy of risk, and C. Malabou's cognitive anthropology. The scientific novelty lies in the conceptualization of the "existential of war" through a neurophenomenological approach, allowing for a reinterpretation of the ontology of human being in a situation of radical rupture. For the first time in the context of modern war, the combination of C. Malabou's "destructive plasticity", J.-L. Marion's "saturated phenomena", and I. P. Culiano's "hermeneutic filters" is applied to analyze the inevitable transformations of subjectivity caused by an ontological catastrophe. Conclusions. Based on the concepts considered, the possibility of finding meaning-making supports in a situation of rupture through the actualization of indestructible meanings of being is substantiated. It is proved that overcoming the rupture is possible by restoring the plasticity of consciousness and spirit, ensuring the transition from precarious existence to a new subjective substantiality.
