Епоха, що гряде: Микола Хвильовий у спогляданні теоретика

The study contains a hypothesis about the brilliant man-writer and interpreter of his works, who became the object of Mykola Khvyliovyi's philosophizing, as such, who independently cultivates in himself the natural gift of contemplation (theoretician, according to Aristotle's terminology), in contrast to the alternative philosophies by the man of observation, who needs guidance and organization from the side of the leader and his opponents. Khvyliovyi's qualification of contemplation as the optics of the unknown inevitable has resulted in a parallel with the deconstruction of Jacques Derrida's “That which is to Come.” The fundamental moment was the analogy of Khvyliovyi's prayerful state of consciousness and the mystics known to him, such as Ignatius of Loyola and Honoree de Balzac, the value of contemplation from the perspective of the second degree, noted by modern philosophy in European art of the early 19th century, which is only an apparent anachronism at the time of the God’s death signaling one of the paradoxes of the philosophy of life.
