Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the influence of Russian fiction on the formation of the idea of life and death in Russian philosophy of the 19th−20th centuries. The author names modern Russian scientists who directly or indirectly affect this topic in their scientific works. The article justifies the need to conduct this study to deepen the existing knowledge about the origins of Russian philosophy, as well as to apply the results obtained in the educational process of a modern university. Analysis of the Russian philosophers’ works allows the author to establish the criteria for the difference between philosophical works and artworks, to search in the works of S. N. Bulgakov, N. A. Berdyaev, S. L. Frank and A. F. Losev for the names of Russian writers and poets whose literary work contributed to their interest in existential issues. It is emphasized that the formation of the idea of life and death in Russian philosophy took place not only under the influence of the impression received by philosophers from acquaintance with the fate of the heroes of fiction, but also under the influence of information about the biography of the classic authors of Russian literature that created them, as well as the main motives of their artistic creativity.
