Philosophical prose as an aesthetic phenomenon

Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue

Abstract

The article considers the artistic specificity of philosophical prose, a special kind of art where artistry and philosophy organically intertwine. The author convincingly proves that the phenomenon of the philosophical genre lies beyond the boundaries of the problems of the work, arguing that the basis of this genre is aesthetic reflection, a special principle of aesthetic worldview. This is the originality and relevance of this article, because in the domestic literary question of the genre specificity of philosophical prose is not uniquely resolved. As an example of the work, which implements the principles of the philosophical genre, the article considered the novel “the Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco, where the author goes beyond the aesthetics of postmodern, detective and morals, and creates a multi-faceted work. The author concludes the complexity of the philosophical novel for literature and the distinction between literary philosophic as an aspect of the problem and as a genre phenomenon.
