ГУМАНИЗМА В ХХI ВЕКЕ» (НА ПРИМЕРЕ МЕМУАРОВ А. ЛАБУНСКОГО)
Summary
. 
A Study of Memoiristics According to the Ethnological Model of Comprehending 
Hermeneutic Maxims: An Aspect of a “New Humanism for the 21st Century” (Based upon the 
Example of the Memoirs by A. Labunschii). 
Initiating a global task of comprehending the ways lead-
ing to a “new humanism for the 21st Century”, UNESCO calls for its universal moral and intellectual 
support drawing on the fundamental values of humanity. We believe that solving this problem could 
be facilitated by studying memoiristics applying an interpretative ethnological model titled 
Compre-
hending Hermeneutic Maxims
and developed by us. This model based upon the achievements of inter-
pretive anthropology by C. Geertz widely uses components of such our concepts as humanization of 
myth and megamodern as an innovative toolkit. A “hermeneutic maxim” can be defined as a descrip-
tion of an element of the world image shaped by mythological consciousness in the narrative under 
consideration which is structured according to the hermeneutical syntagm stating, “The Universe is 
such that...”. A brief description of the above model is provided. Its application is demonstrated by 
using the fragments from the memoirs by Anatolii Labunschii, a cultural figure, a master of applied 
arts, and a writer (Chisinau, the Republic of Moldova) as an example. 
Comprehending Hermeneutic 
Maxims
is a model focused on revealing hermeneutic meanings of ethical empiricism of an ethnos 
which are unwittingly or consciously shaped by its representatives’ narratives. The corresponding 
hermeneutic maxims are examined as ethnocultural specificity of shaping the era of a “new human-
ism for the 21st century”.
