THE RECEPTION OF A. SHOPENHAUER''S PHILOSOPHY IN RUSSIAN CULTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS (FROM THE PAGES OF LITERARY MAGAZINES OF THE SECOND HALF OF 19<sup>TH</sup> CENTURY)
The article presents the process of the reception of the philosophy of A. Schopenhauer by the Russian cultural consciousness. It is noted that in the 19th century, Russian culture showed a strong interest in German philosophy. Nevertheless, until the 1860s, Schopenhauer's works were appealed extremely rarely and mostly occasionally. In the sixties the first round of interest in the philosophy of the German pessimist begins. In connection with the fact that by the second half of the nineteenth century a strong core of idealists of I. Kant, J. G. Fichte, and G. F. Hegel had formed, the spread of Schopenhauer's ideas in Russia was associated with rather bitter polemics. Reflection of these processes, taking place in the Russian cultural consciousness, became literary journals. In conclusion, there is a lack of an unambiguous view of Schopenhauer's doctrine among the Russian intelligentsia.
