Abstract
The article examines the philosophical and artistic reception of a pendulum image in N. S. Gumilyov’s creative work. In this connection the paper analyzes Gumilyov’s poetical and theoretical works devoted to the problem of time. The researcher identifies close interrelations of Gumilyov’s poetry with H. Bergson’s philosophy and for the first time discovers the importance of a pendulum image when modeling N. S. Gumilyov’s poetical world and interpreting the problem of human being as Homo faber. The paper analyzes in detail scientific, philosophical and artistic origin of a pendulum image, traces semantic evolution of this image in the mytho-poetical interpretation of a human and concludes that the deviations of a pendulum gave birth to an evolutionary element in a human but simultaneously became the menacing warning of human mortality.
