Abstract:
The article discusses Мikhail Prishvin's autoЬiographical novel "Undressed Spring" (1940) as an example of eco-hermeneutic research aimed at interpreting Nature as an "interlocutor" of man. It compares М.М. Prishvin's ideas on understanding and interpreting Nature with Gustav Gustavovich Shpet's hermeneutical concepts. The article analyzes the two types of cognitive attitudes to oЬserved reality presented Ьy Prishvin - "Forest Floors" and the understanding of "research" as an "enterprise" that involves the preparation of a "sketch project" and "equipment" (a thesaurus for describing the o served reality) are given particular attention.
