Abstract

The content of any national culture consists of the contributions made by its greatest minds : writers, artists, scientists, teachers, reformers, etc. As a rule, all the geniuses were on the border of cultural environments, they were influenced by other cultures and mainly due to this influence they have made contributes to the native culture. Reasoning from the concept of culture as a sense-bearing form of human existence and taking into account contradictory nature of the tendencies of the modern culture development, the author considers one of these tendencies which he defines as “a condition of metaculture”. In the state of metacultural dialogue, each culture has an opportunity to use creative achievements of other cultures reflexively to develop itself. In this condition the culture reveals its dependence upon ethical creative work of a personality. Consequently, creative gift becomes the basis of its existence. Under such conditions metaculture can be presented as a sphere of creative work of the personality at the borders of cultural environments.
