ABSTRACT

In the paper the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance in Europe is treated from the typological point of view. The nucleus of this process was the secularization and desemiotisation of culture. Nevertheless, the culture of the Renaissance developed an original religious world-view, which was called the philosophy of Christ. The center of it was not the transcendent nature of God, but the sonhood (filiation) of God.

Key words: Typology of culture, semiotics, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, sacrality.
