Abstract

The article considers connection between Coleridge’s tetrad model of being and consciousness and ancient philosophy, based on his final book «Table talk» (1834). Coleridge took the opposite of mechanistic (mesothesis) and organic (synthesis) methods of ideal and material dialectic’s cognition to the basic for European philosophy difference between constitutive and regulatory status of an idea, justified by Plato and Aristotle.
