Against all numerous complexities and riddles that Dostoevsky’s “The Devils” contain, a great storm of searing passions, insane ideas and wild behavior its characters reprise, the figure of Storyteller often seems lost, pale, quite insignificant. He is merely a mask of the Author, a weaver of narration, a devoted chronicler of what happened. Or is he really? We somehow rarely realize that it’s his eyes we look through and see what is considered to be the “final truth” of the novel, the meaning and motivation behind its heroes’ actions, let alone the deepest secrets of their minds and souls. How come a character all like themselves has all the keys, where’s the source of his all-knowing, and is it only a matter of pure art, a writer’s convention that we must easily accept and pay so much attention? Maybe ignoring this strangeness means we really underestimate the troubling greatness of “The Devils”, its many layers and ruinous conflict that lies at the core of all its confusion.

The article is written on the basis of the first part of the thesis, devoted to the substantiation, interpretation and re-actualization of spiritual alchemy. Recognizing the great difficulty in reading alchemical texts, it is proposed to consider 3 authors (E. Husserl, M. Eliade and C. G. Jung), with the help of which a separate method is formed to achieve the necessary setting when reading certain treatises of this direction. The methodological principle necessary for its acquisition emerges.

A. Sukhno, V. Gulin
In this paper, causes of the complexity of Hegel's philosophical language is being investigated. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that they are not as much individually psychological, as objective, and are associated with the knowledge structure per se, which is obtained in the framework of various scientific disciplines. This knowledge altogether forms a “circle”, and therefore it is not possible to discover its fundamental basis from which knowledge should be derived. This imposes a number of significant restrictions on the operations that can be performed with the concepts of logic. These operations make full use of other research programs, precisely because they avoid the global challenge given by Hegel. Consequently, the ambitiousness of the task, the high stakes associated with it, accompanying its implementation, doom Hegel to use such a philosophical language, which is considered to be “extremely difficult”, “rigid”, “entangled”.
