The current sociocultural situation is one of the global crisis far from resolved, a situation in which the person Fund himself. The purpose of this article is to analyze an important aspect of this crisis: the relationship between culture and communication. A person is both bearer of culture and a subject of communication, meaning that the processes of their contradictory change “pass” literally through him. By means of a typological method, different relations of culture and communication, presented in theories of culture of communication, communication of cultures, etc., analyzed and problematic characteristics of the situation revealed. An individual person is not able to solve the problem of the current impossibility of communication alone, which turns out to be a problem of his own existence. This justifies the necessity to build new ways of communication, for which new ideas and tools are needed. One such concept may be the idea of a path, distinct from a road. It is proposed to pay serious attention to the conceptual scheme of Thought Activity developed in the Moscow Methodological Circle as a means of organizing meaningful, productive communication between representatives of different cultures, professions, scientific schools, on whose participation both the formulation and the possible solution of modern social-humanitarian problems depend.
