It analyzes ideas expressed from philosophers and historians including M.K. Mamardashvili (universalism of "axial age"), A.V. Semushkin (the ruin of myth and the birth of reflection), P.P. Gaidenko (break to the transcendent reality), A. Men' (Bible prophetism as an integral part of the "axial age"), P.K. Grechko (infinite communication).
