For the article’s authorthe recognition of irony metaphysical preconditions by romantics is methodological. This expanded the interpretation of irony to the limits of aesthetic position of an artist. Thus the irony in this case is not limited to the rhetorical forms of expressions, it is interpreted as a critical attitude to the world, outright rejection of it. The influence of irony is analyzed in the article in the context of philosophy and poetics of T. Shevchenko’s “Kobzar”.

There is a certain philosophical detachment and philosophical-existential balance in the position of the poet.
