UNDERSTANDING THE SYMBOL AND ITS ROLE IN DMITRY MEREZHKOVSKY'S PHILOSOPHY

The article proposes to look at one of the not fully clarified questions about the specifics of creativity and worldview оf Dmitry S. Merezhkovsky. Debating with the realists, he interprets this phenomenon through the prism of mysticism; the category of the symbol appears as a means of a different vision of the world and the empowerment of the artistic imagination. The authors conclude that symbolism had a significant influence on Merezhkovsky’s philosophy throughout his creative career. This draws attention to the peculiarities of the symbolic interpretation of the text by the Russian thinker in different periods of his work.
