Gryozy Gastona Bashlyara

Gaston Bashlyar (1884-1962) «V bylye gody ya mnogo chital, no chital nepravil′no. YA chital, chtoby povysit′ obrazovanie, chital, chtoby uznat′ chto-to novoe, chital, chtoby nakopit′ idei i fakty, i vot odnazhdy ya ponyal, chto literaturnye obrazy zhivut svoej sobstvennoj zhizn′yu. S etogo momenta ya osoznal, chto velikie knigi zasluzhivayut vnimatel′nogo prochteniya, chto ich nuzhno chitat′ s yasnym rassudkom i zhivym voobrazheniem…» Radiotelefonnye besedy, 1952 Filosofom stanovitsya lish′ tot, u kogo za plechami bogataya zhizn′ i kogo neotstupno terzayut voprosy. Gaston Bashlyar postoyanno vozvrashhalsya myslyami k teme ognya. Do vojny on ego chuvstvoval. Teper′ on znaet ob ogne vsyo.
