This course was taught at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Russian State University for the Humanities in 2003–2004. But “Lectures on the Philosophy of Literature” is not a strict systematic course, but free experiments in reading Russian classics - Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky from the point of view of non-classical philosophy, and at the same time - an attempt to consider the latest literature of the 20th century (from Annensky to Nabokov) within the framework of the unity of Golden and the Silver Ages. The book is sincerely for everyone who is interested in Russian literature.
