IRONY AS A OF COGNITIVE METHOD IN V. BRUSOV’S ARTISTIC PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The paper deals with the epistemological mechanism of symbolist irony in V. Brusov’s collections of verses «Tertia Vigilia» and «Urbi et Orbi». The poet’s aesthetic and philosophic relativism reveals the Russian modernist tendencies that would later crystallize in the Russian postmodernist aesthetic framework.
