Summary

The article analyzes the commonality of worldview paradigms and value imperatives of the philosopher H. Skovoroda and the novelist H. KvitkaOsnovyanenko. Semantic primary stories of “Marusia” inspired by a number of ideas of H. Skovoroda are studied. The article has a polemical nature in the
comment on previous assessments of the importance of the story “Marusia” for development of the new Ukrainian literature. The writer’s experience in implementation of the idea of the work through certain principles and forms of imagery is considered. It is confirmed that the philosophical idea of knowing
oneself as the idea of cognition of the “image of God” unites these prominent representatives of the national culture. It is emphasized that one of the leading artistic and ideological strategies of the author in the work is expressed not so much in the image of Marusia, but in the integral image of her father Naum Drot, who in the best way possible corresponds to the spiritual, mental and ethical parameters of the “Ukrainian individual”, according to the novelist.
Keywords: humanistic philosophy, cordocentrism, religiosity, spirituality, the idea of self-knowledge, imaginative thinking.
