Abstract.
The review analyzes the main scientific ideas of the monograph “Finding God through the text: experiments in philological hermeneutics of F. M. Dostoevsky’s short stories from ‘A Writer’s Diary’ of the 1870s” (2025), prepared by A. V. Zagumennov and N. S. Artemov. The authors describe the formation of a foreign hermeneutic tradition, consider the emergence of philological hermeneutics in Russia, and solve the problem of epiphenomenality in Dostoevsky studies. The monograph’s advantage lies in the fact that A. V. Zagumennov and N. S. Artemov study Fyodor Dostoevsky’s stories from “A Writer’s Diary” through the types of text comprehension (semantic, cognitive, and phenomenological) developed by G. I. Bogin. In addition, the authors substantiate the compositional and architectonic unity of the writer’s short works by combining the hermeneutical and structural-semiotic approaches.
