Abstract

Philosophical strategy of dealing with chaos developed by Friedrich Schlegel are analyzed. Namely the strategy of transfiguration of chaos into harmony. The purpose of this paper is the articulation of the theoretical legacy of Friedrich Schlegel, his philosophical ideas about the strategy of interaction with the chaos, and their ordering. Schlegel sees chaos as a productive start. For him - this is the substrate, lush and abundant energy material which are necessary for creation of harmony. L. Johnson is justified states: “Schlegel argued that the chaos preceded order”. According to Schlegel, the chaos is not something destructive. Rampage of the manifestations of chaos by human efforts will lead to harmony. Revealing aspect of the strategy of interaction with the chaos that is offered by Schlegel, is the fact that, in his opinion, to transform chaos into harmony capable of not only human actions in the area of the irrational, but actions based on human reason. The fact that Schlegel speaks of the presence of chaos in the world, does not mean that chaos Schlegel said the only possible or desired state of the universe. Schlegel said the chaotic state of the various spheres of being an important component of the implementation process of the world, but that the importance of the philosopher sees first of all that chaos evolves in harmony. Chaos is important because it is based on the possible creation of harmony. Friedrich Schlegel offers a philosophical transformation strategy of chaos. In his view, the transformation of chaos as possible by means of rational human activity, and as a result of irrational human manifestations. Schlegel does not offer us strive to eliminate the chaos of human life. According to him, the chaos - a necessary substrate for the creation of harmony, and as chaos has a certain value. So, the further study of the philosophical strategies for engaging with the chaos, in particular, the study of evolution of the idea of the transformation of chaos, is productive.
