The article analyzes the originality of the Russian word postupok ‘an action’ based on the meanings identified in the logic of P. Florensky’s trichotomous model of the word, and recorded in the texts of Slavic dictionaries, as well as in the materials for I. I. Sreznevsky’s Dictionary of the Old Russian language. This methodological maneuver made it possible to argue the position that the ontological basis of postupok “an action’ must be sought in stupa — the limitation and incompleteness of the moment, existance, consciousness, which at the same time involve the need to overcome these limitations. We should seek for the phenomenological resource of the Slavic word postupok ‘an action’ not in the foreign concepts (I. Kant, Aristotle, etc.) devoted to its analog, but in the concepts of native speakers (M. M. Bakhtin, V. N. Sagatovsky and others), and on the basis of phenom- enological procedures that reveal its content, structure, fundamental incompleteness of the essence. We should also point to the prospects of phenomenological studies in the field of philosophy of an action as opposed to the dictates of philosophy of theories and language, if both the semantic content of the phenomenon of an action in the word and the idea of modifying the multilevelness of human being in an action are taken into account.
