ART OF AN APHORISM OR APHORISM OF ART (THE SCIENTIFIC REPORT)

Abstract

     The literature and art are the most spiritually saturated product of creative activity of the man – the person, the creator, the citizen. For today the occurring formulation «the literature and art» is still theoretically insufficiently realized. That the literature – a verbal basis of art culture professor J.B.Borev confirms quite definitely. Us at present interests aphoristics – an esthetic and art phenomenon of verbal art. The known philologist, the corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences N.T.Fedorenko and L.I.Sokolskaja underline that owing to the universality aphorisms correspond to spirit of an epoch, they are equally close both to a science, and to art, in them principles of scientific and art creativity organically cooperate. There are many definitions, transcriptions of the scientific term "aphorism". «The newest dictionary of foreign words and expressions» let out by publishing house "ACT" in Moscow in 2001 designates that «an aphorism (other-Greek) saying, is short, neatly, concisely and gracefully expressing public, finished thought». In our opinion, for a long time has ripened necessity of researches and release of the original encyclopedia of aphorisms about aphorisms because the disorder of opinions on this unique genre of the literature is really wide. All serious scientists underline an urgency of aphorisms at all times and their historical dynamics.
