Roza Mira
''Rose of the World'' () is a religious and mystical work by Daniil Andreev, based on his mystical insights in the Vladimir Prison. The book was created over many years and was completed in October 1958. Before the first legal publication (1991), it was distributed by self–publishing. Content According to Grigory Pomerants, Daniil Andreev's book does not have exact correspondences in mystical and visionary literature, its closest analogues are Dante's Divine Comedy and the Birth–Giver of God's Walk Through Torment, but Andreev's mythological, cultural and philosophical system is not limited to the system of one creed. The basis of Andreev's worldview was the "new religious consciousness" of the early 20th century, the mystical quest of Blok, Bely, Voloshin. At the core is a poetic text, which is characterized by "immediacy of vision", and not theological deliberation. Olga Dashevskaya defines the genre of ''Rose of the World'' as a metaphilosophical treatise, which, firs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Biography Daniil Andreyev, the son of Leonid Andreyev (a Russian writer of the start of the 20th century), had Maxim Gorky as his godfather. After the infant's mother, Aleksandra Mikhailovna (Veligorskaya) Andreyeva (a great-niece of Taras Shevchenko), died shortly after childbirth, Leonid Andreyev gave the infant Daniil to his late wife's sister, Elizabeth Mikhailovna Dobrova, to raise. This act had two important consequences: it meant that when Leonid Andreyev, like many other writers and intellectuals, left Russia (he emigrated to the newly independent Finland in December 1917 after the Bolshevik Revolution), his young son remained behind; it also meant that Daniil was raised in a hous ...

Metaphilosophy
Metaphilosophy, sometimes called the philosophy of philosophy, is "the investigation of the nature of philosophy". Its subject matter includes the aims of philosophy, the boundaries of philosophy, and its methods. Thus, while philosophy characteristically inquires into the nature of being, the reality of objects, the possibility of knowledge, the nature of truth, and so on, metaphilosophy is the self-reflective inquiry into the nature, aims, and methods of the activity that makes these kinds of inquiries, by asking what ''is'' philosophy itself, what sorts of questions it should ask, how it might pose and answer them, and what it can achieve in doing so. It is considered by some to be a subject prior and preparatory to philosophy,See for example, while others see it as inherently a part of philosophy, or automatically a part of philosophy while others adopt some combination of these views. The interest in metaphilosophy led to the establishment of the journal '' Metaphilosophy'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eschatology
Eschatology (; ) concerns expectations of the end of Contemporary era, present age, human history, or the world itself. The end of the world or end times is predicted by several world religions (both Abrahamic religions, Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic), which teach that negative world events will reach a climax. Briefly: the eschaton is the all-inclusive term evoking this predicted climax of a particular theological or political worldview. The scope of expected consequence is global and not local. Eschatology denotes the theory, discussion, techniques, behaviors and orientation toward the eschaton. Theories of afterlife may also be a dimension of eschatology in certain contexts—in these contexts the afterlife of an individual is a kind of hologram or particular microcosm of the overall eschaton. The Eschaton is, furthermore, related to telos: a Greek word simultaneously denoting purpose, climax and end (ie. death, terminus etc. but also perfection, completion etc.). Eschaton is t ...

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. Accessed September 12, 2020. A ''monograph'' is a treatise on a specialized topic. Etymology The word "treatise" has its origins in the early 14th century, derived from the Anglo-French term ''tretiz'', which itself comes from the Old French ''traitis'', meaning "treatise" or "account." This Old French term is rooted in the verb ''traitier'', which means "to deal with" or "to set forth in speech or writing".
