Концепт «религии человечества» в поэтике повести «Хаджи-Мурат» Л. Н. Толстого
The concept of "религии человечества" in the poetics of the novel Hadji Murad by L. N. Tolstoy

Summary/Abstract: Tolstoy’s pneumatology based ‘multiculturalism’ and his theological ecumenism have provocative timeliness in the historical situation of the collision of two big cultures. The most complex, poetically coded formulation of sphere of thought - as the writer’s intellectual will - can be found in this ‘swan song’, without authentic interpretation of which hermeneutic approach of Tolstoy’s life’s work cannot be conceivable these days. It can be stated that Tolstoy’s ‘heathenism’ is the poetical projection of Christian theological universalism which is a thought experiment comparable with Dostoevsky and Vladimir Solovyov’s intellectual performance. The new element in the hypothesis of the short novel’s analysis is that it views the writer’s criticism of civilization in the four-part Berdyayev system of the intellectual typology of art development. Thus, the work appears as the last chapter of a ‘metanovel’, determined by a latent pneumatological vision, creating the effect of illumination of new poetic features.
