METAPHYSICS OF BUREAUCRATESE. PHILOSOPHICAL POETICS OF SIGIZMUND KRZHIZHANOVSKY’S LATE STORIES

Abstract

Poetics – a thing following ethics. That both philosophical and poetical formula belongs to Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky. Any creative word, if it exists as a Word, holds an individual in being in all the disintegrations of cultural and social systems. But if the language space itself transforms into a paragraph, a subparagraph or clause emptied of meaning, man loses his reader-interlocutor and himself as an interlocutor either. The article studies a philosophical and poetical answer of Krzhizhanovsky on such ravage of culture as both creative and simply human environment that was perceived especially acute in Russia in the end of 1920-s
