Literary criticism in its centuries-long development has often suffered from biased theories and tendentious verbiage. We speak too much against dogmatism and schematism, which during the time of the cult of personality inflicted severe damage on the creative thinking of the critic and the writer. But these two ailments of shaky creative health are neither a monopoly nor exceptionally characteristic phenomena precisely for us, who strive to open the doors to the future as widely as possible, to tell the truth about life and history, to stir up the spiritual and physical powers of people. Dogmatism and schematism are three hundred times more characteristic of Western decadent philosophy and aesthetics. Where historical horizons are lost, darkening in the shadow of rising supermen and in bloody sunsets, defined as the fatal end of European culture, pessimism and skepticism are taking root more and more widely. And it is precisely this philosophy of spiritual darkness that conditions presupposed theories that kill creative and critical thought, immerses pure truths in murderous gibberish, speculates with eternal concepts, absolutizes certain biological traits or human weaknesses and elevates them into eternal and irreparable properties of human nature.
