FRANK’S PHILOSOPHY OF CREATIVITY

The article considers the philosophy of creativity of the outstanding Russian philosopher S.L. Frank. According to many historians of Russian philosophy Frank is the only Russian thinker who really managed to create a detailed, systematic and relatively complete philosophical doctrine - the concept of unity in all its genuine complexity. An exceptional place in this doctrine is devoted to creativity. According to Frank, creativity is holistic cognition of the world overcoming its fragmentation and approaching the experience of spiritual workings that exist in religious life and restore the unity of heart, mind and body in man. Creativity, according to Frank, is a transition to timeless being, bridging the tragic gap between the inner and outer life, a spiritual, overtime, and transfinite re-birth.
