Abstract

The purpose of the study is to consider Old Russian literature of the XI–XII centuries within the context of Russian culture, which is of lasting significance. The main tasks are to comprehend high spirituality, patriotic love, and Christian universalism, as well as to identify the spiritual and moral dimensions of Old Russian literature. Mental constructions are embodied in the diversity of cultural creations, and their objective, comprehensive analysis requires involvement of not only verbal, but also non-verbal monuments. The attraction to a lively vivid word, a special interest in moral, historical subjects may be considered as certain advantages, because they raised the philosophical significance of culture as a whole and were addressed to the most topical issues of historical life. Following the development of Russian philosophical thought of the 11–12 centuries, we can trace the process of its gradual formation and the development of sustainable traditions. In the Old Russian milieu, certain notions about the development of world and domestic thought are being formed, and what can be called historical and philosophical knowledge is arising. A lot of research by historians, philosophers, and art historians addressed the relations of old Russian culture with Russian culture of 17–20 centuries. One of the vital tasks of modern Russian philosophical thought is the recognition of its unity with the more than a thousand-year-old tree of Russian culture, the development of those enduring values that were created by our people over many centuries of their constant creative work.
