The dictionary contains a systematic description of the concepts and terms of the humanities, including philosophy (including ethics and aesthetics), cultural studies, religious studies, linguistics, literary studies, as well as humanitarian approaches to nature, history, society, and technology. The dictionary consists of 440 entries, arranged in 14 thematic sections in alphabetical order. Particular attention is paid to the development of new terminology that reflects the cultural and social processes of the 21st century and methods of intellectual creativity. The author and compiler of the Dictionary is the famous Russian-American cultural scientist, philosopher, philologist Mikhail Epstein, professor at Emory University (USA) and honorary professor at Durham University (UK). The unique approach he developed allows us to significantly expand the conceptual system of the humanities, connecting them with each other and with the creative practices that arise on their basis. The dictionary reveals the constructive potential of the humanities, capable of not only studying, but also forming new literary, artistic and philosophical movements, intellectual communities, and cultural institutions. Many terms and concepts first proposed by the author have already entered scientific use. The book is intended to develop innovative thinking skills among researchers and students and is addressed to everyone who is interested in modern humanities as a new stage in self-knowledge of humanity.
