ABSTRACT
Introduction: in the article we refer to the late creative work of Yu. Shestalov, which differs from previously published works by unexpected insights, philosophical ideas, cosmic vision of the world, and his hypotheses and poetic insights fascinate by their etymological explanations.
The object of the research are the works created after 1990-ies: «The Consciousness of the Torum, the Consciousness of Nature Are the Path to Salvation». «The Cosmic Vision of the World on the Boundaries of the Millennia» (2002), «The Shamanic Mysteries of Revelation of the Word «Rus» (2011). The subject of the analysis is the philosophical problematics of the works.
Objective: to research the philosophical problematics in the works of Yu. Shestalov in the context of the traditional worldview of the Mansi people.
Research materials: the collections of Yu. Shestalov published after 1990-ies. The work uses holistic, structural-systemic, structural-semantic and fragmentary analyses of literary text.
Results and novelty of the research: the relevance of the research is determined by the fact that the philosophical problematics of the works of Yu. Shestalov have not been previously investigated in literature. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the study of philosophical insights, worldview searches of the writer is carried out in comparison with the works of famous poets of thought: F. I. Tyutchev and N. A. Zabolotsky as well as the philosophical and religious conception of the writer is studied in the context of the traditional culture of the Mansi people.
We come to the conclusion that after the 1990-ies Yu. Shestalov finds an original approach to the study of the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Mansi people; his work takes the form of prayers, spells, revelations, insights, thanks. The writer begins to realize his special spiritual mission towards his ethnos and all mankind. He thinks about many eternal and immortal philosophical problems: surrounding world, life, the Cosmos, a human and the sense of his existence in the world. His insights reflect the contradictions of time and searches of their resolving, traditional system of values and anxiety about the global environmental consequences of insane attitude to nature by humans. The writer encourages people to spiritual self-purification, calling them the unique creations of the unique planet; he encourages people to be thinkers.
Key words: Mansi literature, Yuvan Shestalov, cosmic consciousness, artistic insights.
