Abstract
The article provides a historical and philosophical survey of views on “pathodicy” - an original philosophical conception revealing the meaning of human suffering, justifying human passions, emotions, life experience, which impart dramatic tonus not only to human existence but to any anthropological conception. Aesthetic potential of “pathodicy” is most clearly manifested in A. Schopenhauer’s creative work and the analysis of consciousness pragmatics helps V. Frankl and M. K. Mamardashvili to justify the necessity of “conscious mode of existence” and to develop original “pathodicy” conceptions (in Mamardashvili’s case - within the framework of “pathematics”) actualizing the aesthetical and hermeneutic potential of their own philosophy.
