Keywords: intelligence, reflection, paradigmatic characteristics, negative anthropology

Abstract

The article attempts to reconstruct the idea of «intellectual adulthood» suggested by Kant. It is an adult personality that defines a fully-fledged tradition. This concept became the subject of culturological reflection in the works by Schopenhauer, Herzen, Spengler. It turned out to be constantly connected with Goethe’s artistic and scientific ideas. The idea interpretation of era, culture, person coming of age is based on the German classic’s apophatic concept.
