Abstract

Abstract. The article contains a philosophical analysis of the performative mystique of late modernity as a specific form of philosophical evidence. The thesis is that performance in modern culture goes beyond the boundaries of artistic practice and stands as a spiritual, bodily-affective and intersubjective form of meaning. It is shown that in the minds of late modernity and digital culture, performative mysticism transforms phenomena about the subject, truth and knowledge, and propagates alternative ways of philosophical understanding of reality. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of performativity as a philosophical category, the role of corporeality in constituted justice, as well as the critical potential of performance in relation to dominant epistemological and cultural narratives. It is demonstrated that the performative mystique of late modernity can be understood as a form of critical knowledge, which complements and expands the classical models of philosophical knowledge. Keywords: performative mystique, late modernity, philosophical insight, performativity, corporeality, truth, critical knowledge.
