Abstract
<jats:p>The article is an attempt to conceptualize the logical and tropological trends that have developed within the framework of the philosophy of the dark enlightenment. The author concludes that, firstly, these authors often use metabole instead of metaphor. Secondly, the purpose of using metabole by such representatives of the “dark enlightenment” as B. Woodard, E. Thacker., E.V. De Castro, and N. Land was not to reveal the irrational content of the phenomenon, but to speculate on metaphysical emotions. Thirdly, in the works of “dark” philoso-phers, there are examples of conceptual generalization of a number of metaphors that, with the help of adjec-tives, can perform the Aptness-function in relation to such antinomic and indefinite intentions. The author of the article believes that these elements, in the future, can become the basis for the creation of new logical and tro-posophical methods aimed at speculating not on substances, properties, or relations, but on the specific sphere of metaphysical emotional qualia.</jats:p>
