VL. Solovyov’s creatıve herıtage as a sıngle text (about the book: Stahl H. Sophia im Denken Vladimir Solov'evs – eine ästhetische Rekonstruktion. Münster: Aschendorff Verlag, 2019)

This article deals with the study «Sophia im Denken Vladimir Solov'evs – eine Ästhetische Rekonstruktion» written by the well-known German Slavist and researcher in the field of literary studies Henrike Stahl (2019). The main topic of the study – the coming into being and evolution of the concept of «Sofia» in Solovyov’s heritage – is indicated. Attention is drawn on the originality of the author's interdisciplinary research strategy on Solovyov's heritage: both Solovyov’s literary and philosophical works are analyzed by the author from the point of view of the thinker’s mystical experience, which gives, in the author's opinion, the opportunity to read his philosophic works as fictional texts, and these latter as philosophical statements. It is concluded that this approach is extremely productive, since the scrupulous study of the text, which is characteristic of philological science, has been supplemented and enriched by its philosophical interpretation. Also considered is the structural unity of Vl. Solovyov’s creativity manifested in the composition and stylistic features of his philosophical prose and revealed in constant ternary and binary oppositions permeated with holistic conceptions. The scrupulousness of H. Stahl's monograph, the originality of its methodological strategy, and attention to various aspects of Vl. Solovyov’s heritage allow to consider that work as one of the most striking studies of Solovyov’s philosophy undertaken in the 21st century, which in turn allows to conclude that the active German-language reception of the creative heritage of the domestic philosopher, which went on throughout the 20th century, continues in our time, keeping Germany well ahead in Western Solovyov studies.
