Stratonova N. The Reflection of transformation of pre-Christian philosophical ideas in Kyiv Rus' literature of XI-XIII

The thesis examines the process of reflection of pre-Christian philosophical ideas in Kiev Rus through literary texts XI-XIII centuries. It is found out that the nature and sources of pre-Christian philosophical constructs traced their influence on the writing culture. It is indicated that the most important material for the reconstruction of religious and philosophical ideas of Ancient chroniclers are religious considerations and remarks that were incorporated into chronicle stories, lyrical digressions and descriptions of pre-Christian outlook. They are proposed as a conscious critique of paganism or those where the representation of pre-Christian ideas is unenlightened.
