The article is devoted to the study of the manifesto as a text of special meaning. The author draws attention to the limitations and insufficiency of the common approach to the manifesto as an "event," as he forces to look at the text as an intersection of sociocultural circumstances external to the text, the analysis of which reconstructs the manifesto as one of numerous text formats. This fact, in the opinion of the author of the article, prevents the understanding of its internal intrinsic meaning. Philosophical research, which aims to clarify such meaning of the text, it should be based on the idea of autonomy of the text and the thesis of the non - permissibility of meaning to the set of sociocultural conditions. It is proposed to see in the manifesto, on the one hand, the act of textual conduct (no behavior), i.e. as a meaningful act lasting by the effort of the author regardless of external conditions, and, on the other hand, as a phenomenon with a special topology - a closed place subject to reflexive definition from the inside. Such research optics provide an opportunity for phenomenological consideration and clarification of the internal meaning of texts such as "manifesto."
