PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOLOGY: ASPECTS OF INTERACTION CONCERNING THE PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND OF LYRICAL POETRY: SOME PRELIMINARY NOTES E.B. Rashkovsky All-Russian State Library for Foreign Literature Nikoloyamskaya str., 1, Moscow, Russia, 109189 The phenomenon of lyric poetry is described as a special, internally necessary form of self-realization of person in culture and, moreover, as a special form of self-realization of culture as it is. <...> At the heart of this phenomenon there are the principles of spontaneous self-discovery of human personality in a rhythmic speech flow and at the same time — spontaneous integration of personality into trends and meanings of language and culture. <...> Both of these principles assume, first, expansion of a search field of human memory and associations, and, secondly, a search field of communication between people. <...> Thus, the lyric poetry appears to be a necessary, though semi-hidden, ingredient of sociality and civil relations, accustoming us to involuntary self-knowledge and aspiration to find contacts with the other person and, therefore, to wisdom and tolerance. <...> As it seems me, such kind of formulation of our coming discourse could involve us not only in the matter of understanding of the nature of lyrical poetry itself, but, moreover, in the matter of understanding of human cognition as well as human creativity. <...> This generalization of creative scientific practices may be also used for our following interpretation of the poetical, or better to say, lyrical phenomenon. <...> Surely, we could define the lyric poetry as well as the poetical sphere itself as a final realization of spontaneous tacit knowledge (once more, Polanyi’s notion) being willynilly cherished by the poet, as usual, through years and years. <...> This final and sometimes unexpected realization means almost sudden reciprocal discovery of the stream of speech in human existence as well as (vice versa) an almost sudden discovery of human existence in the stream of speech. <...> This spontaneous transformation of “tacit 53 Вестник РУДН, серия Философия, 2014, № 1 knowledge” into the meaningful and beautiful stream of speech and, moreover, stream of language (1), was acutely marked in the early poetry of Boris Pasternak: И сады, и пруды, и ограды, И кипящее белыми воплями Мирозданье — лишь страсти разряды, Человеческим сердцем накопленной. (“Gardens, ponds, fences, // And the Universe itself, full of bubbling white screams, — // All these things <...>
