The Golden Arrow. Straightness as the Ontological Foundation of the Human Being

Authors: Yermakov, Oleg V.;

The Golden Arrow. Straightness as the Ontological Foundation of the Human Being

Abstract

The text presents a philosophical and metaphysical investigation of straightness as a foundational principle of anthropological and cosmological order. Through the synthesis of the arrow archetype, the mythological figures of Apollo and Eros, and symbolic correlations between verticality, light, number, and the human bodily structure, the author develops the concept of the human being as an “arrow of existence” directed toward a transcendent goal. Straightness is interpreted not as a geometric property but as an ontological axis linking immanent and transcendent layers of reality. The human body is understood as a symbolic carrier of this axis, where the spine’s verticality and the orientation of vision express an inner metaphysical law of ascent toward the One. The work integrates philosophical anthropology, symbolic hermeneutics, comparative mythology, and poetic metaphysics, forming a unified model of the human being as a mediator between worlds. ______________________________________________ Текст представляет собой философско-метафизическое исследование категории прямизны как фундаментального принципа антропологического и космогонического порядка. Через синтез мифологемы стрелы, образов Аполлона, Эроса, Пифагора, а также символических корреляций между вертикалью, светом, числом и телесной структурой человека автор формирует концепцию человека как «стрелы бытия» — существа, направленного к трансцендентной цели. Прямизна трактуется не как геометрическое свойство, а как онтологическая ось связи между имманентным и трансцендентным уровнями реальности. Человеческое тело интерпретируется как символический носитель этой оси, где вертикаль позвоночника и направленность взгляда выступают как выражение внутреннего метафизического закона стремления к Единому. Работа объединяет элементы философской антропологии, символической герменевтики, сравнительной мифологии и поэтической метафизики, формируя целостную модель человека как посредника между мирами.
