Abstract

Philosophic and aesthetic origins of the early XX century Russian realism are discussed in the article. Significant changes took place in early XX century Russian prose that literary critic named it the Russian Literature Neorealism. This literary phenomenon is associated with such novelists as I. Bunin, B. Zaitsev, I. Shmelev, M. Prishvin, S. Sergeyev-Zennskiy, A. Tolstoy and others who entered the stage at the end of XIX – beginning of XX centuries. Russian Neorealism, as a literary phenomenon, came to rise under complex evolutionary processes of artistic concepts. Its formation and aesthetic consolidation happened during the crisis of positivism. The theories of positivism dominated the Russian belle-lettre during 1880th and in its Narodnism movement. The latter was based on social determination of an individual and it interpreted the world through the prism of its social history. The crisis revealed that Positivism and Narodnism ideas had become outdated and unfit in the new, XXth, century. Works by such representatives of Lebensphilosophie as W. Diltey, H. Bergson, F. Nietzsche, H. Rickert, O. Spengler, H. Simmel and those of the philosophical school of Intuitionism were especially popular in Russia at the turn of XX century. Literature of Russian Neorealism of early XX century was greatly influenced by these philosophers. Mutually enriching each other, the major ideas of Lebensphilosophie and Intuitionism philosophers shaped the world vision of the new generation of Russian writers who accepted the new values and shifted the accent on new concepts of Life and Individual. Philosophical ideas of these schools of thought aimed mostly at the theories of positivism and classical rationalism that held philosophical and scientific reasoning of their times. The impact of their philosophical ideas on rationalism caused denial of positivistic reasoning and that of social determinism of an individual so typical for the late stages of Narodnism literature. Theoretical reflections of Lebensphilosophie and Intuitivism about Life as a whole, full of vigorous though surreptitious and intense energy, had fueled a new artistic movement. Life could not be comprehended only rationally disputed philosophers of these schools of thought. Under their influence, the literature of Russian Neorealism rose to the new level of ideas about Life, its meaning and its complexity. In Russian Neorealism, the Concept of Being is based on awareness of the complex ever-changing rich world and on the idea that each and every phenomenon is connected with the infinite Universe. Novelism of writers of the Russian Neorealism movement is characterized by self-concentration, self-confession, emotional and dramatic lyrism, acute sense of life impermanence and attempts to fill it in with personal, even intimate, content.
