The article discusses structure within
structuralism from the positions of the phenomenon
of dissymmetry. Proceeding from binarity peculiar to
structuralist constructions, the author draws a conclusion
about their main dissymmetrical property - transition
of each fi rst member of an opposition into its opposite.
In connection with this any made structure can
be presented as a dissymmetrical system consisting of
anantiomorphs (mirror opposites). Dissymmetry in this
structure reveals itself in its classical variant, when conventionally
D- (right) and conventionally L- (left) components
of the bifi eld (dualfi eld) of the structure (its opposites)
are opposed to each other statically.

This article studies Indian philosophy and
the metaphysics of Indian religions in the light of the
categories theism, pantheism and panentheism.
The Indian concept īçvara-vāda (from īçvara -
personal deity and vāda - study) correlating with
the concept theism is considered in its historical and
philosophical aspects. Since the metaphysical basis of
Indian religiosity is essentially impersonal, pantheistic
and panentheistic in contrast to the absolute-theist basis
of monotheism, it has been concluded that the status,
place and role of īçvara-vāda is functional theistic and
not absolute theistic (the terms functional conception
of personality, absolute-substantial conception of
personality were suggested by A.F. Losev).
