The concept of cyclical time in the works of E.I. Zamyatin, A.P. Platonov and M.M. Prishvin

Abstract

In the article the idea of recurrence of the existence of the world is considered. The thought/idea that since ancient times and to the present philosophers and writers have been dealing with the issue of interruption of a usual course of events by the elements of destructurization of society (the chaos approach) receives a substantiation. The author attempts to prove that Russian writers tried to give formulas of prevention of the coming era/age of chaos approach by the particular examples from life of nations and definite social processes occurring in a society. E.I. Zamyatin, A.P. Platonov, M.M. Prishvin suggested considering the Universe and society development under the uniform laws and constructed the models of this postulate in the form of artistic images, confirmed in the form of publicity essays, philosophical works and diary records.  By the bail to that, there are the doubtless talent and amazing supersensitivity of the creators contribute into these models’ philosophical and artistic persuasiveness.
