| Summary: | The subject of our study was the concept of "truth" in Bulgakov's
novel Master and Margarita. S. Stepanov gave the defi nition of a concept.
The concept is like a clot of culture in human consciousness; that is the
manner, in which culture becomes a part of the mental world of a man. And,
on the other hand, the concept is a way for a man as an ordinary, normal
person, not a "creator of cultural values" to be included in the culture, and in
some cases, to affects it. In the analysis of the concept of "truth" we start from
its cultural-and-etymological understanding of the word "truth".
The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the three
editions of the novel and to fi nd out what semantic meanings Bulgakov deals
with in a particular case and how it aff ects the transformation of the idea of
the novel from edition to edition.Three editions of the novel were the material for the research: the first is
"Engineer Hoof " (1930–1932), the second is Grand Chancellor (1932–1934)
and the fi nal version of "The Master and Margarita." In these three editions
Yeshua involves everyone who he is talking to in the dialogue. In the editions
Engineer Hoof and Grand Chancellor M. A. Bulgakov uses the concept of
"truth" in scientific- philosophical and sacred meanings (plans). In the final
text Yeshua appears as a philosopher who is in search of the truth. |
