metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article discusses the theme of Plato’s apophatic discourse. A specific feature of
  Plato’s dialectics is the ability to perceive two opposite points of view on objectivity.
  This formulation of dialectical aporias is the stimulus and key for the further movement
  of thought. However, when some ultimate concepts are reached, it stops, ending
  with a negative conclusion — about the impossibility of recognizing something
  even as existing. Neoplatonists came to the conclusion that such objectivity has a
  transcendental character, and they argued about two transcendences — the One and
  Matter, as forms of absolute fullness and emptiness from one’s own nature. Modern
  researchers interpret the corresponding passages from Plato differently. They believe
  that these are either examples of an anomaly of discourse, forced to fall into recursion
  and negation with incorrectly chosen norms of thought, or some kind of search
  for future themes of the foundation of knowledge and science. The article shows that
  another way is possible: the three subject areas of the apophatic in Plato’s dialogues
  (the one, the good, the non-existence) are possibly associated with three planes of
  judgment about any being. The first of them is about what must somehow be conceived
  completely in itself and apart from being, the second is about what allows
  beings to be, the third is about what makes it separate, different from everything else.
