"Hero of our time" and breakthrough to personal being
The author of this work makes attempt of the analysis of the work of M. Yu. Lermontov «The Hero of Our Time», relying on its internal logic. As a consequence, he discovers in it not only close deep logical connection with other great work of the Russian literature, but also emphasizes its own uniqueness. At the same time, the considered work, as well as a phenomenon of the Russian literature of 19th century, ﬁnds contexts that are essentially diﬀerent from the Russian religious and philosophical thought. First of all the request of the hero for personal being against to so well-known concept of “conciliarity” in our philosophical dictionary attracts attention.
