Teza

The research identifies and analyses a number of world image elements in Albert Wilderman’s family stories, a Chisinau phthisiatrician (1923–2012). The concept of “world image formed by mythological consciousness” is introduced (the specificity of world image is determined by the type of consciousness). The concept “third Axial Age” is used, which was revealed by us when clarifying the information content of the concept “Achsenzeit” according to K. Jaspers. Karl Jaspers periodized the mankind’s mastering of information on individual essence, its significance and sacredness as the “first Axial Age” and the “second Axial Age”; the latter is detailed by us as “the second and the third Axial Age”. Our considering of the ethnocultural aspect of the problem uses one of harmonizing constants of Hasidic folklore, or “Beshtian constants”, previously identified by us. This constant is named “sacred humanism”. (According to Rabbi Shlomo, for example, the worst deed of evil is a situation when a human forgets that he is a royal son, i.e. overlooks the sacredness of individual essence). We give examples of the corresponding world image elements formed in family stories of A. Wilderman, – a doctor, an empiricist and an atheist – and his mythological consciousness. His implicit Universe is such that a human is able and should not to forgo his dignity; the profession of a phthisiatrician provides opportunities for a dignified life (help to suffering sacred individual essences; intellectual growth); the possibility of infection can be abolished by a volitional impulse; a human can and should be intellectual, ethical and active at any age; existential-ethical developments are transferred both by personal example and through family stories; the Universe manifests a tendency to secret contribution to human’s salvation, both physical and spiritual; that is a cathartic phenomenon, because a human’s essence is unquestionably sacred.
