Rozin, V. M. The Mystery of Eschatological and Demiurgic Percep tion of the World of Philosophers and Artists of the Silver Age (Case Study of the Conception of All-Encompassing Unity by Soloviev)

Abstract: The article is devoted to the world perceitpoin of philosphers and artists during the Silver Age that combined both eschatological and demiurgic ideas. In this regard the article discusses Soloviev’s ideas about human immortality as well as Soloviev’s conception of all-ecomopassing unity. In order to analyze the latter, the author addresses to his own researches of esoteric teachings, on the one han, and to his theory of ‘schemology’, on the other. The author shows that being an esoterist, Soloviev uses the schemes to understand the reality of all-ecompassing unity and solves the problem of death in this context. When doing so, Soloviev also realizes the strategy of ‘esoteric day-dreaming’ which helps him to enter the reality of all-encompassing unity.
