Abstract
The article deals with the comparative analysis of the stories “Sanatorium” by W. S. Maugham and “In the Epidemic Barrack” by V. Pidmohylnyi in order to reveal and confirm the influence of F. Nietzsche’s “philosophy of life” on the works of these writers. Special attention in this research is drawn to the problem of the opposition of the philosophy of life to social and Christian moral values. “Philosophy of life” is a specific conception in the philosophy of the second half of the 19th century, which considers the problem of meaning, purpose and the value of life. It signifies drawing attention to a person, their problems and feelings. W. S. Maugham and V. Pidmohylnyi were interested in such fundamental issues as life, its meaning and a human being. Therefore they searched for the answers in F. Nietzsche’s philosophy. F. Nietzsche is one of the representatives of “philosophy of life”, whose works were perceived by readers like works of literature rather than treatises on philosophy. It has influenced greatly on the popularity of his philosophical ideas and their spreading all over the world. The scientific interests of studying Nietzsche’s philosophy and his influence on literature at the end of the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century have never waned, but they still need a detailed research. The author of this article makes an attempt to detect some common and distinctive features of the interpretation and representation of Nietzsche’s philosophical ideas in the stories of W. S. Maugham and V. Pidmohylnyi.
