Неопределенность: событие и рефлексия

The article offers an analysis of the contemporary concept of uncertainty. This concept is of invariant significance for philosophy, culture, group and personal self-fulfillment of social actors. Uncertainty is considered as event and reflection, which gives the opportunity to understand its ontological, epistemological and ethical-aesthetic aspects. Fundamental difference, comparability and continuity of philosophical interpretations of uncertainty in the classical and modern context are shown. The article provides a semantic analysis of categorical terms close in meaning to uncertainty. It is shown that attention to ethical and aesthetic aspects of uncertainty is what provides the greatest opportunity for reflection and foresight activities. Ultimately, uncertainty is about overcoming post-modern relativism and conceiving of meaningful gestures of «descent» unity of philosophy in many directions and currents of contemporary thought.
