ON THE MEANING OF COEXISTENTIAL COMMUNICATION

The article deals with the problem of communication as coexistence in the context of the problem of meaning. The author distinguishes such notions as existential communication and coexistential communication. Existential communication is the primary mode of co-existence in which the Other is primordially comprehended as “co-present”. Coexistential communication is defined as the universal mode of subjects’ coexistence in their fundamental existential opportunity. Besides, coexistential communication appears to be a principal condition of revelation and actualization of ultimate coexistential overmeaning. The ultimate overmeaning of coexistence is defined by the author as the absolute “limit of reflection’ manifested through a concrete situation of coexistence, but at the same time it negates and overcomes a concrete situation. A solitary coexistential act spontaneously generates and actualizes the ultimate overmeaning of coexistence in a concrete situation.
