... dividing the cosmos into Musica Mundana, Musica Humana, and Musica Instrumentalis, a concept particularly prevalent in Silver Age lyric poetry. In Gronsky’s lyrics, music is primarily associated with ancient motifs, as well as pagan and Christian themes. The poet-singer figure is considered separately; in Gronsky’s émigré poetry, this figure appears in the archetypal images of David and Orpheus, with the former serving as a hero bridging biblical and archaic epochs, while the latter represents ...

... meaning” and “cultivation” of historical reality. Such a “conversation” around the work of Dostoyevsky took place in the 1920s among philosophers (including members of the Free Philosophical Association or Volfila in its abbreviated form). The theme takes on added significance at the hands of Ya. E. Golosovker and S. L. Frank whose intellectual affinity manifests itself today in the way they interpret Kantian motives in the work of Dostoyevsky. Reflecting on “the logic of imagination” Golosovker ...

The paper views pragmatic meanings that have regular expression in language. Such meanings are 1) the illocutionary goal (illocutionary force) of an utterance, 2) the illocu­tio­nary function of a component of an utterance (theme and rheme of a statement, the known and the unknown of a question), 3) contrast and emphasis, and 4) the meaning of complete­ness/incompleteness of a speech act as a component of coherent discourse. It is shown that prosody is the main means of ...

There are several ways of realization of the metasubject approach in junior high school — the introduction of metasubjects, inclusion of a metasubject theme in the substantive theme of a lesson within traditional school disciplines, the use of modern education technologies based on the system-activity approach, interdisciplinary and the development and implementation of extrasubject programmes. 1. ...

... simultaneously as a character and narrator, elevated above the other characters. However, his position is unstable, as, being the creator of the embedded play, he cannot fully control it and struggles to manage his characters. This duality highlights the central theme of the play — a conflict between the author and his creation, inherently metatheatrical. The play has a complex structure, developing two main threads: one concerns the murder of a cook in a mansion in the Saint-Germain suburb, and the other follows ...

The authors have conducted a comparative analysis of the novels by Olga Tokarczuk, "The Journey of the People of the Book" and "The Books of Jacob,", where the conceptual role is played by motifs of travel and books, and the theme of religious-mystical societies of the 17th-18th centuries becomes significant. The genre specificity of the two texts, features of their narrative structure, and character systems are considered. It is asserted that the two analyzed books share ...

... tropes and figures (rhetorical exclamations, metaphors), image of lyrical hero-observer, the effect of presence, epic narration. Meanwhile, the poem is not so much dedicated to the great battle, but to the death of a poet’s friend and fallen warriors. Theme of death is central in the poem by Viazymsky, and many elements of work are close to the genre of elegy on death. It is important to note that the poem “Commemoration of the battle of Borodino” can be regarded as a documentary poem, reflection ...

... for assessing their level of danger, determining thresholds and directions for the development of the situation in vital systems, which would make it possible to make the most correct management decisions. There are many works devoted to the Baltic theme in Russian science, but in recent years there has been a noticeable decrease in publications, especially fundamental research. The foreign scientific community views this problem tendentiously and one-sidedly, and therefore does not provide objective ...

The article traces the genre characteristics of the “musical” nocturne used by Kazuo Ishiguro in his prose “stories” (a range of themes related to the musical biography of the main character-musician, the distinctive musicality of landscape descriptions, genre specificity, the unique atmosphere inherent to the nocturne, etc.), which, on the one hand, allow them to be identified ...

... approach allows for an expanded understanding of the evolution and transformation of such a unique direction in Russian literature as expressionism. Drawing on the texts of the works, the article demonstrates similar techniques in the depiction of the theme of war, which became the connecting link in the creative dialogue between the two writers, representing different generations of Russian literature. A more specific conclusion is made about L. N. Andreev’s changing perception of war by establishing ...

In his book Appearance and Sense Gustav Shpet, comparing Immanuel Kant’s transcendental logic with the traditional probleтs of the philosophy of language, thought it appropriate and conceptually effective to turn to the medieval scholastic debate on universals. Later, in the Hermeneutics and Its Problems, he goes back to this discussion and notes that it was the framework in which the thirteenth-century tradition of “terminist” logic was formed. Shpet attributed the fruitfulness of this approach...

An Old English poem, preserved in a copy of the 12th century, Instructions for Chris­tians, consisting of 265 lines, is considered through the prism of the explication of the theme of moral instructions in the Old English tradition. The poem, along with other Old English sermons and Christian poems, represents the suggestion of moral rules regarding early Chris­tian life, being a set of orders for believers. This article ...

... Bibikhin discussed the formation of the canons of national poetry and its peculiarities. In his poetry, Bibikhin emulated the poetic style and essence of Russian poetry, surrounded by the aura of myth and replacing moralistic content with existential themes. These poems delved into the ethical-metaphysical question of how presence in existence is possible without arro­gance or violation of the rights of others. Bibikhin reflected on the relationship between poetry and prose during the formation of ...

... freedom, highlighting their relevance amidst the contradictory landscape of social devel­opment in late capitalism. It is well-established that Dostoevsky's ‘orthodox’ socialist stance resonated with Marx's critique of bourgeois society, focusing on themes of materialism, the dominance of wealth, and alienation. Both thinkers grappled with the concept of human free­dom, recognizing it as an intrinsic characteristic and essential aspect of humanity. While they shared similar views on existential ...

... However, the presence of another link — the ‘qui pro quo principle’ — has yet to be explored in Gippius's text. The analysis demonstrates that the principle mani­fests through the symbolic pairing of the main characters and is closely tied to the theme of temptation. The use of the ‘qui pro quo’ principle in the story results in an inverted portrayal of the motif of temptation. It is argued that one of the defining characteristics of Gippius's imagery — the contradictory nature of the protagonists ...

Kant’s theory of enthusiasm has received relatively little attention in Kant studies. This is surprising in view of the fact that Kant was preoccupied with the theme of enthusiasm throughout his life. One of the reasons may be that for Kant enthusiasm is an affect. Therefore, it cannot be used to justify ethics. On closer examination, however, a more differentiated picture emerges. In addition to pathological ...

The Seventh Immanuel Kant International Summer School devoted to the themes of enthusiasm and history in Kantian philosophy was held in Kaliningrad from 28 July to 5 August 2025.

The key themes and dominant aspects of “Cement” are identified through a comparative analysis of current Russian research on Mül­ler’s work, as well as insights from modern Russian electronic media. The study draws con­clusions about the nature of Müller’s ...

The study is devoted to the analysis of the accentual architectonics of the isosyllabic works of Theophan Prokopovich. The primary objective of this analysis was to examine the hypothesis regarding the gradual emergence of the syllabo-tonic system within the framework of syllabic verse. This hypothesis challenges the views of numerous scholars of versification, who argue for a revolutionary shift in Russian poetic tradition, attributed to the publication of Vasily Trediakovsky's 1735 treatise. Additionally...

... Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. As a result, the literary text is examined as a semiotic model of communication, in which the sender and the recipient of the text are linked through the narrative language and regarded as objects of historical analysis. The theme of the ‘new man’ constitutes the historiosophical core of the Strugatsky brothers’ oeuvre. Already in their early works, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky formulated the principal characteristics of the concept of the ‘Soviet man’ as a person ...

Thus, Tokarczuk’s work offers a perspective on the world that is far removed from anthropocentrism. The article also analyzes the theme of existential crisis, reflected in the landowner Popielski’s search for the meaning of existence. The game he plays, Ignis Fatuus, metaphorically illustrates what Gilles Deleuze refers to as the rhizome. A gene­ral conclusion is drawn about ...

... Avenarius in the children’s tale The Beautiful Melusine. The tale is an adaptation for children’s reading of Goethe’s novella The New Melusine, which only loosely corresponds to the medieval novel and is rather an authorial parodic “variation on the theme.” Despite the story of Melusine being known in Russia since the 17th century, the specifics of the interpretation of the image and the context in which it appeared indicate that the plot did not take root in Russian culture. It acquired an original ...

The article explores the artistic embodiment of the four types of love that C. S. Lewis dis­cusses in detail in his treatise The Four Loves and in his mythological novel “Till We Have Faces”. Given the centrality of the theme of love in the novel, it is reasonable to assume that in this 1956 work, the author was already artistically reflecting on the ethical and psychological concepts he would later elaborate in the treatise, which was based on a series of radio talks ...
