THE CATEGORY OF INFORMATION IN A PHILOSOPHICAL TEXT

Abstract

Aim of this article is to identify the significance of the category of information content for the integrity of a philosophical text in the development of algorithms for its adequate interpretation. Methodology. Using the structural-functional, descriptive, contextual methods and the method of segment analysis, the article comments on an excerpt from an academic philosophical text (in German and Russian versions) from the standpoint of one of its leading text-forming categories - the category of information. Results. The article proves that the established types of information (objective, subjective, semantic and aesthetic) should serve as the basis for modeling a philosophical text. Research implications consist in identifying various types of information in the original text and comparing the results obtained to the translated text, as well as in determining the author's subjective assessment in a philosophical work, the general intentionality of which, as a rule, is postulated as objective. The results of the study are of use both for German studies and the theory of language, and for the comparative study of languages, and are of interest to linguists, philologists, journalists, as well as philosophers involved in the generation of a philosophical text.
