Abstract

The last work of Alexander Alexandrovich Zinoviev “The Factor of Understanding” is devoted to the process of understanding. It provides the methodology and subject area of understanding closest to Zinoviev – social life, in which he sees the meaning of human existence. Zinoviev analyzes consciousness as a complex form of understanding the foundations of one's existence; consciousness is in a certain sense responsible for the world realized in it, which can be defective or, on the contrary, complete and harmonious, since man has no other; his consciousness is the mediator between the possibility of a reality realized in a certain way and this “reality that happened”.
