This article explores the question of literary criticism in the context of interactions between literature and philosophy. The best example of such interaction is the legacy of the early twentieth century Russian literary critic, Yuly Aykhenvald (1872–1928). This article gives a brief overview of his works of literary criticism and their thematic repertoire. Aykhenvald’s philosophical background, professional education, and personal connections with renowned Russian thinkers, including Vladimir Solovyov, Fyodor Stepun, and Semyon Frank, are included in an evaluation of Aykhenvald’s position on one of the most discussed relationships in Russian culture—that of Russia and the West. The issue of relations between the West and Russia acquired a particular urgency after the October Revolution of 1917, when Russian culture split into two realms—Soviet and émigré. This article analyzes Aykhenvald’s position on this issue, which is present in both his philosophical responses to the Eurasianists and in his essays written on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Pushkin’s birth. Throughout the mid-1920s Aykhenvald wrote that Pushkin was the ideal of spiritual and aesthetic balance. In Pushkin’s work Aykhenvald found the embodiment of his own historiosophical aspirations—the harmonious fusion of Russia and the West.

本文在文学与哲学之间相互作用的背景下探讨文学批评的问题。这种互动的最好例子是20世纪初俄罗斯文学评论家尤利·艾肯瓦尔德（Yully Aykhenvald，1872-1928年）的遗产。本文简要概述了他的文学批评作品及其主题剧目。艾肯瓦尔德的哲学背景，专业教育以及与包括弗拉基米尔·索洛维约夫（Vladimir Solovyov），费奥多·斯蒂芬（Fyodor Stepun）和塞米恩·弗兰克（Semyon Frank）在内的俄罗斯著名思想家的私人关系都被纳入了对艾肯瓦尔德在俄罗斯文化中讨论最多的一种关系-俄罗斯和俄罗斯的关系-的立场的评价。西。1917年十月革命之后，西方与俄罗斯之间的关系问题变得尤为紧迫，俄国文化分裂为两个领域时：苏联和移民。本文分析了艾肯瓦尔德在这一问题上的立场，这既体现在他对欧亚主义者的哲学回应中，也体现在普希金诞辰125周年之际发表的论文中。在整个1920年代中期，艾肯瓦尔德（Aykhenvald）写道，普希金是精神和美学平衡的理想选择。在普希金的作品中，艾肯瓦尔德发现了他自己的历史学志向的体现—俄罗斯与西方的和谐融合。
