Genius Loci and ‘Lessons of Survival’ (The Phenomenon of Donelaitis at the Time of Modern Catastrophism)
Journal Title: Acta Historica Universitatis Klaipedensis - Year 2013, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The article is devoted to the so-called “lessons of life” in “The Seasons” of Donelaitis, that simultaneously are also “lessons of survival”, both of spiritual-psychological and pure physical. In his epic piece, by relating God’s pedagogy of the Christian teaching to the pedagogy of the God of nature, Donelaitis got engaged in therapeutic education: that is an amazing synthesis of the Christocentric idea and pantheistic implications in which the ideal of the Christian hermetism clearly stands out. That is the ideal of a comprehensive unit which has links with the ontology of the epic poem. The ontology is based on the eternal recurrence with a constantly regenerating hope to finally have the genius of the totality able to operate ontological cosmic turning points.
