| Summary: | Analyzing the manuscript of Andrei Platonov’s tale The
Foundation Pit and his early journalism the author traces the evolution of
Platonov’s views on the problem of the search for the truth. Analysis of the
dynamic transcription of the The Foundation Pit manuscript enabled to show
that by the end of the 1920s Platonov had abandoned rationalistic interpretations
of the concept of «truth», including in its "Bogdanov’s edition". Platonov
increasingly questioned the capabilities of socialist science, based on
materialism, to fi nd out the truth about the world, and changed his views on work as the only method of learning the truth. He departed from the materialistic
concept of learning and shifted towards the religious and philosophical
tradition: in the end the formula of P. Florensky "truth-estina (to be in existence)" is
getting more and more essential and it is outlined a shift of the concept of “truth”
from a cognitive-materialistic category (“invent” / “to do” truth) to an ontological
and moral category. |
