Summary/Abstract: The article aims to disclose actual historical and cultural value of the parallax method of thinking through the study of its sublimation nature. The authors show that the phenomenon of sublimation, which was described in its ontological aspect already by S. Freud, is also of fundamental epistemological value. In the course of historical development, sublimation processes pass from the unconscious form to the reflexive one. The latter is considered in the article through the examples of symbolic and scientific-and-historical types of thinking. The authors come to a conclusion that parallax thinking may serve as a way to preserve and reproduce the values of traditional societies in modern secularized conditions.
