THE CONCEPTOSPHERE OF THE SACRED IN THE COLLECTION "GARDEN OF DIVINE SONGS" BY HRIHORY SKOVORODA

Abstract

The collection of metaphysical poems by Hrihory Skovoroda "The Garden of Divine Songs" is considered from the standpoint of biblical hermeneutics and cognitive literary studies. The question of the relevance of the study of baroque lyrics through the use of modern literary methods is clarified. The expediency of using the concepts "concept" and "Christian concept" in relation to the study of the sphere of the sacred is determined. Particular attention is paid to the variety of approaches found in scientific studies of the "sacred" as a category. Analysis of poems from the collection - 30 (thirty) - presented in the form of a table with the definition of ideas, main concepts and conceptual metaphors. On the basis of the conceptual analysis, the basic concepts that form the conceptual sphere of the sacred in the collection "Garden of Divine Songs" and explained in other philosophical and poetic works of the Ukrainian artist are highlighted, namely: SIN AND ATONEMENT, GOD (CHRIST, SPIRIT), FREEDOM, HAPPINESS, SALVATION, CROSS and others. Since hermeneutic analysis is connected with the universality of linguistic structures, it seems natural to combine it with conceptual analysis in order to clarify the textual meanings in metaphysical lyrics, which, in fact, is mostly expressed by hidden signs, symbols and authorial hints in the form of intertextual inlays. The artistic interpretation of the text, which is assumed by the hermeneutic analysis, is closely related to the cognitive and evaluative characteristics of both the hidden meanings themselves and the determination of the degree of the "author's presence" in the artistic text. Therefore, the axiological component mutually determines the application of conceptual analysis, and as a result, the definition of the conceptosphere of the sacred in the above-mentioned collection of poems. Special attention is paid to the figure of Hrihory Skovoroda as an extraordinary creative nature and baroque personality who was ahead of his time and remains relevant both by himself and by his creative achievements to this day.
