infl uenced the artwork of the 20th century as well as art
studies. Freudism conceptions of art by Jacques Lacan,

pp. 0-0

Abstract: The king is dead – long live the king… The
old anthropocentric humanism of the Modern Age has
considerably run out of steam. But its ‘questionnaire’ about
a doubtless value of a human personality, freedom and
culture still remains in force.
Heritage of the great Russian priest Father Alexander Men
focuses on the reference of this ‘questionnaire’ with a centuriesold
experience of faith, devotion and understanding of selfinsuffi
ciency and paradoxical inner dynamics of human.
Comprehension of this heritage is extremely important for
discussing and analyzing the problems of the New Humanism
and destinies of the modern culture.
Keywords:
cultural studies, the New Humanism, archpriest Alexander Vladimirovich Men, freedom, modern project, postmodern, anthropocentrism, re-humanization.

Khrenov, N. A. - Mikhail Bakhtin’s and Gyorgy Lukacs’ Concepts
Amid Culture Transformations of the 20th Century
|
|
pp. 0-0
|
Abstract: This article is an attempt to describe some
phenomena typical for formation of the Russian
humanitarian science. The author narrows done the epoch
from the ‘thaw’ to the break-up of the USSR to the two great
philosophers Mikhail Bakhtin and Gyorgy Lucacs. While Bakhtin’s ideas back in those times gave a perspective
for development of art and cultural studies and therefore
were very popular, it took longer time for Lucacs’ ideas to
be recognized by the Russians. It is explained by the fact
that throughout his creative path Lucacs was becoming
a successive Marxist and interest in Marxism weakened
after the catastrophic fall of communism in Russia. A good
example of Lucacs’ Marxist esthetics is his late fundamental
work on esthetics which is being republished now. However,
Lucacs’ ideas did have a rational kernel and lately many
researchers have realized it and have been addressing
again and again to his philosophy and esthetics. Despite all
the difference in methodological approaches of these two
philosophers, the author of the article manages to fi nd what
they had in common.
