| The article presents review of the second part of Alexander Makhov's emblematic dilogy «Emblematics: Microcosm», on which the scientist worked during the last years of his life. The book remained unfinished and saw the light after his death. Both parts of the dilogy (the first one was published in 2014) are considered in inseparable unity. The review is based on the principle of a tour through the text of the book. It analyses the structure of the book, which consists of two parts in accordance with the metaphor of soul and body, an extensive bibliography, numerous books of emblems used for interpretation by Makhov. The review considers in detail the main provisions of each part: ethos and their metaphors, argumentative techniques in the first one; the metaphor of the human body as a source of signs for creating the language of emblematics; gives vivid examples from the book. In the end the author makes a logical conclusion about the high scientific value of the reviewed book. |
