The article considers the concept of new anthropology in the works of Vasily Chekrygin in the context of the scientific and philosophical ideas of his time. Chekrygin’s anthropology drew on the new concepts of life, discoveries made in biology and chemistry and new ideas of matter. A paradoxical fusion of scientific and occult thought, coupled with ideas of Christian anthropology, formed a crucial component of Chekrygin’s works. The artist produced his anthropological project at the intersection of two cultural paradigms: that of Christianity, on the one hand, and science and the occult, on the other. This blend of such heterogeneous concepts was not an accidental fact of the artist’s biography. It makes it possible to see certain problems and antinomies that were fundamental to the Russian culture of the 1910s through the early 1920s.

瓦西里·契克里金作品中的新人类学

本文在他那个时代的科学和哲学思想的背景下考虑了瓦西里·契克里金作品中的新人类学概念。切克里金的人类学借鉴了生命的新概念、生物学和化学的发现以及物质的新观念。科学与神秘思想的矛盾融合，再加上基督教人类学的思想，构成了契克里金作品的重要组成部分。这位艺术家在两种文化范式的交汇处创作了他的人类学项目：一方面是基督教，另一方面是科学和神秘。这种异类概念的融合并不是艺术家传记的偶然事实。它使人们有可能看到对 1910 年代到 1920 年代初期的俄罗斯文化至关重要的某些问题和矛盾。
