Russian Literature As A Means Of Expressing Philosophy Of The Russian People

Abstract

The paper attempts to investigate the role of Russian literature in the philosophy and the entire worldview of the Russian people in the context of law and justice, and in the context of legal consciousness and a sense of justice formed by literature. It is emphasized that Russian literature, similar to the spiritual culture of any nation, reflects the socio-historical realities of a particular society. The goals and objectives of literature and the entire culture of any nation are those that considered relevant by the representatives of the nation in the given specific historical conditions. The notion that Russian literature adequately reflected social reality and demonstrated its own understanding and solution of social problems is substantiated. Russian literature put philosophy and the worldview of the Russian people in the artistic dress. At the same time, it is emphasized that the depth of the study of this issue and the analysis of the human soul through the artistic vision as a means of exploring the world are at the highest level in Russian literature. It is argued that Russian literature is the pride of the Russian people, the best that has been created by the Russian people as a nation. However, this notion should not depreciate other outstanding achievements of Russian culture. It is argued that these can be the priority tasks in any literature. This is not denied in the paper, but the fact that Russian literature provided excellent solutions to many other problems is obvious.
