ON ORTHODOX GROUNDS OF LIFE TRUTHS IN THE WORK OF A.I. SOLZHENITSYN
The paper argues philosophical affinity between Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s and Semyon Frank’s approaches to life truths. Frank, as one of the brightest representatives of Russian religious and philosophical thought of the turn of the XIX-XX th cent., sees life truths in outspoken belief in God and idea of immortality. Alike him, Solzhenitsyn suggests the importance of one’s personal study and reflection on life and human destination. The true revival is thought to be the result of intensive questioning of the life by an individual and a step towards finding God within oneself.
