FLORENSKIJ AND RADICSHEV: TWO VOYAGES

Abstract

In the article two key works of Russian thought are compared: «The Voyage from Petersburg to Moscow» by A. N. Radicshev and «The Pillar and Ground of the Truth» by priest P. Florenskij . The author fi nds out unexpected but evidential likeness of some moments of those books, which become apparent on diff erent levels of analysis of their texts: genre, formal, stylistics, thematic. The examination makes it possible to put on a question of the reasons of this likeness and of the links between two periods of Russian culture: the Silver age and the age of Enlightenment
