The philosophical concept of time in the poem «Phacelia» by M.M. Prishvin

Abstract

M.M. Prishvin’s creative conception is inextricably linked with a peculiar sense of tense forms. This unique talent of Prishvin causes also a special connection of his creativity with literary tradition. This article discusses the basic author’s principles of moving in time. The poem «Phacelia» unites three stages in the artist’s life and one can see his autobiographical, deeply personal time with a number of temporary systems. They extend an individual perception of his place in the world, the meaning and purpose of human existence, and in this regard, Prishvin’s ideas can identify natural, historical, cultural, literary and philosophical types of time. In the art world the time can be represented in such aspects as physical time, real time and transient time. This creates a unique and original way of the author’s world where relationship to time as an objective fact interfaces with the possibility of philosophical and moral assessments of personal sense of time.
