Abstract

The article is conceived as part of the fundamental pedagogy of mankind, covering the whole history and all aspects of life.The subject of the article is the semiotics of beauty, without which the spirit of life in people, nations and humanity is impoverished. The heart of the theory is the phenomenon and concept of synergy (co-authorship), synergistic time. The concept of synergy in terms of its unifying, explanatory and heuristic power for the humanities is what the revolutionary Newtonian force concept for the substance sciences. But synergy, as the deep foundation of all the humanities, grasps their specificity by giving the freedom that is granted to a man – the ability to choose oneself, one’s own path and destiny in existence. The introduction of this concept decisively restructures the science of semiotics as well. Music turns out to be the material of the article, but its revelations of beauty – admiration of the spirit – apply to all arts, to all spheres of life, because the being as communication is organized holographically (there is a whole in every detail, for example, in every tiny performing caesura there are synergistic laws of all-historical time).


Keywords: fundamental pedagogy, state synergy, process synergy, purposeful time, development, the circle of Abba Dorotheus.
