DIALECTICS OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL AND AESTHETIC COMPONENTS OF THE NATIONAL STYLISTICS IN RUSSIAN ARCHITECTURE OF THE 18th – THE FIRST THIRD OF THE 19th CENTURY

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to examine the characteristics of Russian architecture of the 18th–the first third of the 19th century in the context of the dialectical nature of the philosophical and aesthetic views of the Russian Enlightenment era. The study of philosophical and aesthetic sources of the origin of the Russian national style in architecture during the 18th–the first third of the 19th century is relevant in the time of postmodernism with its stylistic diversity and desire to develop the national component of Russian architecture. In the process of the study the dialectical approach was used, on the basis of which philosophical and aesthetic views and works of architecture are examined from the position of the principle of dialectical contradiction. The dialectical duality of the philosophical and aesthetic views of the Russian Enlightenment was expressed in the union of opposites of the universal and the individual, in emphasizing the importance of the national component in art, which was reflected in the Russian architecture of the 18th – the first third of the 19th centuries, in which were combined the universal stylistic characteristics of baroque and classicism and traditional original national features.
