PHILOSOPHICAL MOTIVES IN M. LERMONTOV’S CREATIVE WORK: PROLEGOMENA TO NIETZSCHEANISM AND THE IDEA OF THE SUPERMAN
The article reconstructs philosophical ideas in M. Lermontov’s creative work, and observes their ideological consonance with F. Nietzsche’s philosophy. The literary and artistic explication of the superman idea by Mikhail Yurevich is analyzed separately. The conclusion is made that Lermontov laid the foundation for the concept-image of a new cultural hero as an exponent of the superman idea, who is characterized by existential-ontological egocentrism, metaphysical fatalism and intention to the transformation of value normativity purview.
