Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is determined by the search for modern philosophy in the problem field of ontology and epistemology, which, with consistency, lead to cross-cutting themes of philosophical anthropology. Purpose of the study. The aim of the study is to determine the correlation between modern philosophical projects of narrative and object-oriented ontology in the context of the problematic philosophies of a thing, the concept of an object. Methods used in the study: text analysis of sources, analytical methods for the consideration of philosophical discourse, hermeneutic approach, and problematization of the difference between language and speech. The results of the research allow us to state that the anthropocene situation in philosophy appears as a syntagmatic, methodological and semantic center of a new picture of the world. This intention is also related to a new interpretation of the myth in the grandnarrative of civilization and proceeds not from the model of reduction to myth, reduction to the archetypal one, but accentuates the formative, monolithic, ontologizing potential of the myth. Originality and novelty of the research lies in the fact that the project of narrative ontology, rooted in the analytical tradition, and the project of object-oriented ontology, rooted in the continental tradition of philosophizing, are compared. The role of speech as an implicit performative act for the ontologization of the human world in modern philosophy is also justified. The findings of the study are due to its multidisciplinary character and mainly consist of the substantiation of the thesis about the essential connection between the projects of narrative and object-oriented ontology and the search for modern philosophy of language, philosophical anthropology, ontology and epistemology. The performative character of speech is considered in connection with the rethinking of the concepts of thing and object in the aforementioned philosophical projects.
