| Summary: | The article seeks to elaborate a methodological approach to the
creative work of Fyodor Dostoevsky, corresponding to dialectical nature of
the writer’s artistic world perception. Dostoevsky’s formula “the whole emerges
as a hero” is regarded as an architectonic model of his poetics. The author
reveals the dialectical and mythological content of various aspects of this
model, discovers the moments of community of Dostoevsky’s “realism in the best sense of the term” and Losev’s absolute dialectics. In the light of Losev’s teaching Dostoevsky’s formula is modifi ed according to the dialectical model of a tragic myth. In the structure of the formula there are consistently explicated
cosmological, anthropological, Christological, ecclesiological, and pneumatological
aspects. These aspects trace back to a number of works of the writer (the novel “Poor People”, the tale “A Faint Heart”, the story “A Little Hero”, the novel “Th e Idiot”). Th ere is demonstrated the dialectical unity
of the intuitions of faith and knowledge in Dostoevsky’s artistic experience. |
