Abstract

The article reveals the content of the philosophical and ethical category of “life” in the example of Mykhailo Kozoris’s novella “Chornohora Speaks”. Comprehending the categories of “life” and “death”, the writer in work by depicting the fate of the heroes proves that each of them understands the meaning of his existence in his own way. The heroes of the novella adhere to their own concept of life and strive to achieve world harmony, but the author takes the position that humans are doomed because he cannot predict the course of his existence. The writer reveals to the reader the unique world of Hutsul life, different from the realities of civilized society, but deduces the thesis that despite the unity with the natural world, the heroes do not achieve natural harmony.
