Abstract:

Article deals with some points in philosophy of symbol by Losev stemming from his early works. First notes on theory of symbol belong to his study of Ancient mythology and dialectics. During a period of one decade Losev (twenties of XX) had examined a variety of issues similar to the nature of symbol. His concept of ipseitas claims the symbol is the one possible appearance of an unknowable essence, where none of predication approaches the genuine act of thought. The symbol overcomes the antinomies and gets through a gap between word and image, saying and doing, man and God.
