Abstract
- The paper analyses the conception of Art and Christianity in the essay The Aesthetic Relations of Art to Reality [Esteticheskiye otnosheniya iskusstva k deystvitel’nosti (1855)] and in the novel What is to Be Done [Chto delat’?(1862)], by Chernyshevsky. I argue that Chernishevsky’s reception of German philosophical materialism, especially Feuerbach and David Strauss, provided the foundations for his realism and for his materialistic reformulation of Christianity. As a typical seminarist confronting modern ideas, Chernishevsky found in Feuerbach’s and David Strauss’s thought a horizon of perpetuation of his religious instinct and became a propagator of scientific materialism that moved the controversies about religion, art, and revolution in the second half of the nineteenth century. I further argue that the weltanschauung that structured his essay on Art is at the root of the aesthetic and religious procedure we find in his novel. Interpreted as the expression of a materialist subversion of Christianity, What is to Be Done was conceived and elaborated to be read as a new gospel and was received, in the Russian revolutionary imaginary, as a religious pamphlet that determined the discussions about art, religion and revolution.
