Abstract

The article attempts to reconstruct Pushkin's understanding of the phenomenon of creativity. This phenomenon is analyzed using the method of culturalogical reconstruction. From this perspective, the phenomenon of creativity is seen through the prism of the coordinates of the poet's spiritual world, including: 1) the dichotomy of the profane and sacred principles; 2) the dichotomy of light and dark plans of life and destiny; 3) the ratio of domestic and borrowed narratives; 4) the dichotomy of earthly love and heavenly love. It is shown that A.S. Pushkin is aware that creativity has a certain onto-epistemological and ethical-aesthetic structure that is relevant to the original creative impulses. It is also concluded that the search for the "image of the Whole" crowns the entire creative process, which thematically extends from the relationship between God and man — to creativity itself.
