The article is dedicated to the interpretation of views of Russian philosopher I.A. Ilyin (1883-1954) on eternal ethical and psychological problems which concern the modern young generation. His original and profound reflections promote high ideals, contribute to ethical and psychological studies and help to confront the spiritual impoverishment of society and to harmonize social relations. I.A. Ilyin left an enormous legacy of books and contributed to studies of various academic spheres, but his most famous works are devoted to social and political, law, philosophical and religious problems. His aesthetic as well as ethical and psychological legacy is studied to a much lesser extent, whereas Ilyin himself thought that his most important works were written in his last years of life in which he mostly studied aesthetic, ethical and psychological questions. The article reviews Ilyin's interpretation of ethical categories such as happiness, love, justice, friendship, death, immortality, good and evil, guilt, conscience and analyses the problems of upbringing of the young generation. The meaning of the moral categories is interpreted differently in the history of ethics and in modern studies. I.A. Ilyin follows the Christian tradition in his ethical reflections presented in his works such as "I am looking into life. The book of meditations", "Singing heart. The book of quiet contemplation", "The way to insight", "The look into the distance". The article also studies the psychological phenomena such as sincerity, fidelity, solitude, humor, optimism, age, delicacy, boredom, insomnia and Ilyin's interpretation of them as well as psychological aspects of gender problems. The problem of spirituality is particularly acute both for Russia and the West in the XXI century and in this regard the appeal to the works of I.A. Ilyin and the interpretation of his ethical and psychological reflections are especially relevant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
