Sense and presence

Abstract

The article deals with the topical problem of
sense reality within communicative sphere of society in the
aspects of revealing the extrainterpretative components of
sense and making distinction between sense and meaning.
The definition of sense through the category of presence going
back to Heideggers philosophy is opposed to structuralist
and semiotic discourses that substitute sense for meaning and
reduce philosophical work to the process of interpretation. By
contrast with the postmodern philosophy of illusiveness of the
objective reality and absence of the representation the author
returns sense to the subject and its being-in-the-world as the
unity of corporal and conscious, emotional and rational while
analyzing M. Heideggers and H.U. Gumbrechts ideas
