THE SEMANTIC PECULIARITIES OF THE ENTRANCE OF LEFTISM ON THE STAGE OF HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: The notions “the right side”, “on the right”, “the Right” and “the left side”, “on the left”, “the Left”, as well as the variations associated with them in the thinking spaces of all cultures initially indicate links to the functioning of the body and hands, establishing an aspect of their orientation and system of values. In one instance these systems may demonstrate absolute features, in another – relative; however, their common trend is assumed semantic stability. The paper outlines the formation of a new historical reality and presents modifications in the meanings of the ancient notions, which are required in its staging.
