SEMANTICS OF «VIRTUE» IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF 18TH CENTURY
Abstract
This paper identifi ed different semantic aspects
of the concept of virtue and denoted the relationship
of ethical concepts of Russian writers in the 18th
century with individual elements of pagan and Christian
morality. The author analyzed the infl uence of the Enlightenment
on the moral category of Russian literature,
among which, of course, central one is the concept of
virtue. The study showed that the predominant place
in the works of writers of the period belongs to the concept
of moral and civic virtue, less common is the notion
of national virtue, quite often the concept of female
virtue is used in the meaning of chastity. The concept
of virtue is most often used in high style of speech,
sometimes in an ironic context of medium style.
