Abstract

This paper is devoted to study of the ontological and existential bases of a phenomenon of leadership in (mostly) Russian culture. The mere existence of the word "leadership" in concept language demonstrates the special status of this phenomenon in culture. Leadership is considered both in the context of change of art paradigms, and in personal aspect, at the level of the subject of culture. The research of this phenomenon is connected with studying the features of overcoming tradition, "fear of influence", and in the same time impossibility of an exit for a framework of sign borders, as well as the need to be "understood". On the other hand, at the level of the subject, the problem of "egoism", overcoming (or “forming”) limits of moral autonomy, determination of specifics of "action", a reflection over "abilities" are shaped. The paper analyzes the multi-level specifics of leadership in culture: both at the social level created by ideas of success (based on idea of progress and the subsequent transformations of this representation in post-industrial society, or a "consumer society"), and also at the metaphysical level connected with existential and valuable problems, as well as problems of ontological bases of culture and the person. We make an attempt to comprehend the ratio of leadership and of ways of its “recognition" in modern culture. Finally, we draw conclusions about features of axiological models in the present and specifics of their reflection.
