Abstract
Based on the works of M. Atwood, C. McCarthy, K. S. Robinson, J. Offill, and B. Kingsolver, who reflect on the consequences of the compromises people are willing to make for survival at the current stage of their existence, it is shown that ecological prose underscores the crisis of the anthropocentric paradigm and forms modes of moral consciousness based on ideas of environmental responsibility and coevolution. It has been established that moral and ethical dilemmas in these works become tools for criticizing modern civilization, where scientific and technological development outpaces the moral and philosophical understanding of its consequences. Particular attention is paid to how the ecological novel genre combines artistic imagery with scientific knowledge, philosophical reflection, and psychological depth, thereby allowing humanity to contemplate possible variants of its future in the safe space of art.

The eschatological perspective and the ecological grief it generates are often articulated through terminology infused with religio...
Abstract:J. M. Coetzee's engagement with the nonhuman other in some early and later fiction raises the philosophical questions of being and materiality. In Life and Times of Michael K and The Lives of Animals, nature and the animal other assume the form of a radically non-signifying materiality beyond the confines of (...

The paper deals with the philosophical understanding of the role of personality in the transformation of urban space and the formation of new existential meanings. Using the “Feodosian” and “Tarusan” periods in the lives of I. K. Aivazovsky and K. G. Paustovsky as examples, it is shown that the “genius loci” can act as...
