Teaching Life and Works' The life and work are defined as two poles logically indifferent feelings, or how the two tendencies of. Rushing to the pole of creativity, experience as it strives to meet all branches of comprehension. To this end, it is split into many parts, each of which is in a position to be in the position of the subject, grasps all the rest of it, as the data objects it. Before we deployed monadologicheskaya structure of the sphere of creativity, and thus the sphere of culture. Rushing to the pole of life experience as it seeks to withdraw from the power of whatever comprehension. To this end, it rolls up into a single cognitive undifferentiated dark center, where all the images fade, shed all notions and silenced all sounds. Thus is revealed to us the essence of mystical origins of life '. (Stepun FA. Life and work / / Russian Philosophy: An Anthology. Tech. 2. M., 1994. S. 156. Experiencing God 'Now I make a decisive step forward and say the beginning of life experiences, . as experience, . compared with the experience of creativity, . deeper and more significant, . as experience is extremely significant and extremely profound, . as a religious experience, . as a religious experience of God,
. Proof of this step, and I certainly do not seek and do not give, it could be just an attempt to prove that the experience of life is truly a religious experience. But such evidence, of course, absolutely impossible, because religiosity is not an attribute, which I rightly or wrongly ascribe the experience of life, it is its essence, it is itself. Who in the experience of life is given in the opened my sense, that thus has given and religious life, ie. that given an inner knowledge of life as God's knowledge of the living God, the knowledge of life. Thus the identification of life and God is a kind of mystical a priori all my disclosure philosophic meaning of life and work '. (Stepun FA. Life and work / / Russian Philosophy: An Anthology. Tech. 2. M., 1994. S. 180). The essence of man 'Unsubscribe from human creativity can not, because to do all and only means to be human. Being a man is a man defined by God. So the refusal of art is nothing like a direct rebellion. Plunge into the sphere of art and argue that it has limited life, that it attains God - it means to distort the image of life and forget about the living God. And because the only truth to the life and work can be found only in, . to, . doing, . humanity of each creature to its constantly told that would not, . than all created an infinitely rich, . but only about, . for what it, . if for charity, . always holds out his hand beggar ',
