Abstract

In the article the concept of «divine garden» from the artistic heritage of G. Skovoroda is analyzed. This concept has an analogue to the Byzantine and ancient concept of «wisdom». It defines the main basic meanings of words ethical and exemplary beauty in which the truth is hidden within the works of the philosopher. G. Skovoroda tries to turn the concepts of ethical and exemplary beauty in a mental syncretic symbol. These qualities are a priori laid in man, so he should stick to the ideas of Hesychius and follow the basic provisions of Sophia Wisdom. G. Skovoroda tries to change the concept of «divine garden» into a mental syncretic symbol and intrudes these ideas into the mass consciousness of population of the Russian Empire of the XVIII century, using derivatives from the conception of «divine garden». But these concepts appeared in the early Middle Ages in the Byzantine Empire and were taken over by the lovers of words (slovolyubets) of the Kievan Russia in XI century. While in the Byzantine Empire and in the Kievan Russia of XI century this concept was open only to the apologests of the ecumenical church dogmatism, G. S. Skovoroda’s school released these ideas to the public domain.
