The image of world in Vasiliy Rozanov's creativity

We consider the creativity of V.V. Rozanov in connection with the universal intuition of his spiritual searches. The thinker had expressed this intuition in his later works as the special vision of the world. We reconstructed features of Rozanov’s vision, using the images of his later works. In such way we recreate his picture of the world allocating by Rozanov the image of the world as the order, the image of the world as the chaos and the image of the world as the interaction between the order band the chaos. Our analysis gives us the opportunity to suppose, that Rozanov describes the world as the phenomenon. This phenomenon does not depend on the human experience. The paradox of Rozanov’s theory consists on the discrepancy between his supernatural intuition of the world and his descriptions of things, in that the thinker emphasizes its material aspects. But factually draws Rozanov shadows of things, showing its original since, connected with the original structure of the world. This structure is unknown for people and can not be controlled by means of the rational knowledge. This distinctive feature of Rozanov's creativity allows to interpret his doctrine as the form of the artistic philosophy. We explain the philosopheme of world by Rozanov as several reciprocal transitions between the world as the philosophical concept and the world as the aesthetic image. This peculiarity conditions the examination of the phenomenon of the world by Rozanov in context of the ancient idea of space as the limited and closed unity, those movements are restricted. At the same time Rozanov’s intuitions can be understood in context of Christian idea of the world as the creation of God.
