Лингвистични, културологични и теологични аспекти на Серафимите

Абстракт

Статията е фокусирана върху серафимите. Серафимите са архангели. Ангелите и архангелите не са същества от материалния свят. Те са Божии служители и някои от тях се отказват от тази функция и стават паднали ангели. Качествата и особеностите на архангелите са обект на мистични спекулации, но остават неясни за миряните. Логическата и езикова връзка на серафимите с огън, изгаряне и червената кобра е ясна на иврит. В индоевропейските езици такива връзки липсват поради специфичните езикови картини на света. Откритията на учените за някои характеристики на серафимите е ценно. Семиотиката на цвета в холистична версия е инструментът, който разкрива културните, цветовите и езиковите аспекти на серафимите. Оригиналните термини на Хумболт езикова картина на света (Weltansicht, виж Underhill 2009) и вътрешната форма на думата са ключови за обяснението на международното именуване на даден цвят. Холистичният подход включва третирането на цветовете като знакова система, разграничението на словесни и визуални цветове, различните думи-термини за цвят, цветът като културна единица. Статията декодира явлението „серафими“ чрез изучаване на оригиналните ивритски значения и индоевропейските преводи, както и чрез теологични, визуални, хуманитарни и културни рефлекси в християнството.
