Usikova L. Aesthetics transpositions of hesychasm in art of Kievan Rus

The thesis deals with the problem of considering the place and role of ideas and spiritual practice of hesychasm in aesthetician sphere of Kievan Rus. Using the comprehensive approach, the transposition of aesthetics and religious studies in the art and the aesthetics formation of Rus-Ukraine are examined through their intersection. The aesthetic transposition of ideas and traditions of hesychasm cult in the art of Kievan Rus is explained as the transition, shift, transfer of gnosis and aesthesis of hesychasm depiction to the art forms based on the penetration of hesychasm doctrine about synergy as spiritual harmony into the artistic thinking and spiritual and sensual states.The aesthetic specifications of such hesychasm theognosia phenomena as: Essence and Energia, synergy, light, glow, shine, silence, silence, peace, harmony, have been studied. The implicit "aesthetics of hesychasm" is caused by the similar attempt to comprehend the sacred of the Descend of the Holy Spirit in spiritual and sensual way, for it to be passed over in appropriate artistic metaphors, symbols, images and stories, for instance: God "energia" through the synergy of "mental" prayerand temple liturgy, architectonic ofcathedral, iconography, sacred music and literature.The aesthetics transpositions of hesychasm are most vividly expressed in liturgical practice, the synthesis of religious arts, creating the "aesthetics" of the temple action. The thesis analysis enables to introduce the aesthetic specifications of synergistic concepts of hesychasm and the concept "aesthetic transposition" into the theory of modern Ukrainian aesthetics.
