The concept of the city in L. N. Tolstoy's short story "Lucerne": The experience of conceptual analysis
Abstract
This study is relevant due to the analysis of one of the early works of L. Tolstoy, which allows for identifying the features of his poetics, i. e., to consider the reflection of the world and moral norms as strongly connected to each other. This determines the further development of L. Tolstoy's prose towards greater simplicity ("pathos"). Scholars have repeatedly stated that back in the 1850s, L. Tolstoy developed an understanding of "the unity of people" as the main goal of the writer's life and pedagogical activities in the early 1860s, this also ties to the problem of "Lucerne". The purpose of this study is a conceptual analysis of L. Tolstoy's "Lucerne", which tone is set from the first descriptions, where the theme of the city, nature and civilisation appear. The leading method of the study is the method of authenticity and perfection within the framework of the content of this work of art, which contributes to the guided progress of society at most. Every discipline strives to systematise and categorise concepts. In philology, studies of the concept concern both its internal structure and its typology, functions, its place in larger units (concept spheres), ways of its application for the analysis of works of art, etc. As a rule, works dedicated to the concept in literary studies reveal only its external side, discussing the ways of implementation and interaction of concepts within the work. Thus, the two terms "analysis of concept" and "conceptual analysis" are noted.
