BEN WOODARD AND LEONID LIPAVSKIY: CHRISTIAN AND ARISTOTELIAN ORIGINS OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF TERRIBLE
This article is devoted to the research of some aspects of the Christian and Aristotelian ontology, which influenced the formation of the West aesthetic paradigm. The American philosopher Ben Woodard, who is an exponent of the speculative realism in philosophy, explores the abominable forms of life and he also insists on their predominance in the Universe. This article shows the solidarity of the philosophical observations of Ben Woodard and Leonid Lipavskiy, the OBERIU philosopher, who was engaged in the study of terrible. In this work we tried to identify a common theoretical source of the philosophy of Woodard and Lipavskiy, which, in our opinion, is Aristotelian substantialism.
