Abstract
The article presents the first experience of describing the poetic creativity of Alexander Konstantinovich Gorsky (1886–1943), philosopher, poet and aesthete, made through the lens of the thinker’s core religious and aesthetic idea of the liturgical poetry. The study was conducted on the basis of the publication of Gorsky’s writings, where for the first time after his death his poetic heritage was collected, as well as on the material of the philosopher’s personal archive. The connection of Gorsky’s poetic creativity with the main ideas of N. F. Fedorov, V. S. Solovyov, S. N. Bulgakov, N. A. Berdyaev such as the justification of history, “active apocalypticism”, apocatastasis, “extra-religious liturgy”, the meaning of creativity and the meaning of love is shown. The aesthetic system of Gorsky, his views on the development of artistic creativity, the concept of the movement of art from tragedy through mystery to liturgy, the concept of Centro-image are also exposed to analysis in the article. The features of Gorsky’s poetic interpretation of themes, ideas, images of the New Testament are shown.
