Abstract

The term “concept” is widely used in various fields of linguistics. To call something a concept means to pose the problem: to reconstruct the meaning of something for a particular spiritual culture. Considering, for example, the question of the concepts of beauty, truth, friendship, etc., one try to reconstruct that essence, which in usage is behind the words beauty, truth, friendship, etc.Exploring concepts that are implemented in the texts in a definite language, we can identify the concepts prevailing in this usage, combine them into a group of “concepts”, which are attributed to the status of the most immediate and adequate implementation of the concepts. The concept “knowledge” is among the most important landmarks of human behavior, is the leading scientific concept of aesthetics. Comparing the characteristics of this concept in various cultures would represent more clearly the system of value priorities of different language communities.
