VALERIAN PIDMOHYLNY ABOUT THE CRISIS STATES OF PERSON

Abstract

The article analyzes the crisis states in Valerian Pidmohylny’s prose in the context of Karl Jaspers’ concept of “limit situations”. According to the German philosopher, a person experiencing a “limit situa- tion” can reach a higher level of being. It is such a change in personality that we can see in certain char- acters of V. Pidmohylny’s prose. The heroes of V. Pidmohyilny’s works “Vanya” and “Ostap Shaptala” are experiencing “limit situations” of death and guilt. These states help them to find their true self and develop spiritually. The article also examines the situations of suffering in the V. Pіdmohylny’s stories “Haydamak” and “In the epidemic barracks. These situations, although they can not be called unequivocally “limit”, however, in the mentioned works there is an atmosphere of all-pervading pain, which brings the characters of these stories closer to the experience of “limits”. Taking into account the development of V. Pidmohilny’s characters in the process of experiencing the crisis periods of his life, it can be argued that the crisis states through which some actors in the writer’s works pass through are essentially closest to the “limit situations” in the Karl Jaspers’ philosophy.
