Tradition as a Notion: Aspects of the Meaning
The paper deals with socio-philosophical connotations of the notion of tradition, analyzes the main trends of its interpretation and directs the ways to its further comprehension in the context of ontology of time and sacral hermeneutics. The author is of the opinion that the study of the phenomenon of tradition is to touch upon ontological and anthroposocial factors underlying the stereotypy of social behaviour, in particular the frequency-resonance principle of setting the pace for social time.
