CULTURAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW O EXISTENTIALISM AS A TOOL FOR OVERCOMING THE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

Abstract

The aim of this article. In this article, we set ourselves the task of examining the phenomenon of creativity in the context of war, highlighting the leading concepts of existentialism as a philosophical movement that focuses primarily on the sense of freedom and the search for the meaning of life. We see our main task as the search for answers to questions: What
are the main concepts of existentialism that can be used to analyse the phenomenon of creativity in wartime? What is the main reason for the intensification of Ukrainian creativity after russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine? In the current conditions of war, the issue of creativity in Ukrainian society is of particular relevance.
Research methodology. The methodology of the study is determined by its purpose and is based on the use of the following methods: analytical, historical and comparative, which, in our opinion, allowed us to partially cover the above issues.

Novelty. We consider the intensification of creativity since the beginning of the russian-Ukrainian war in 2022 to be primarily a manifestation of existential rebellion against the absurdity of the war and the existence of russia as an aggressor state. This reflection is extrapolated not only to the personalities and issues of those Ukrainian artists whose works have traditionally had existential features, but also to the general artistic manifestation in Ukrainian society.
The aim of the study – based on the conceptual analysis of the concepts of existence and existentialism, to analyse the phenomenon of creativity in the conditions of war.
Prospects for further research. In further research, we consider it necessary to pay more detailed attention to the study of the existence of the creative personality in the current conditions of war, as well as to the specification of artistic trends and creative works that reflect the existential aspects of the russian-Ukrainian war.
