Aesthetic-philosophical concepts of “young generation symbolists” were based on the conviction that art was made to understand the “secret spiritual value” of phenomenal world and understand the immediate anchoring of human in the Absolute which is the source of spiritual energy. In this frame the symbolists touched connection of principals that formed western and eastern civilization in a harmonic complex. We can speak about new reconciliation of intuition of spiritual cosmos, deep understanding for illusive essence of things with clear and powerful activity, reconciliation of science and religion, freedom and law, sacredness and beauty which is the only aim of all arts and sciences. O. Březina and A. Belyj were considering that point the most intensively of all. They both strove for overcoming of the two extreme demonstrations of human psychical life that isolate people from real complex consciousness. They defined both the extremes as: 1) the extreme of inner (“brain”, rational) life of an individual 2) life of subconscious physicality. To sum up, the art creation should head for creative connection of rationalism and contemplation in a harmonic complex which forms higher entity symbolizing perfect complexity and fullness. As the followers of modern psychology, also the “young symbolist generation” considered the problems of human consciousness. As a rule the art must originate from the same depths where the understanding of secret of all things is realized. Therefore, equally to S. Freud and C. G. Jung, they were convinced about the existence of collective psychological crucial base, collective source, human spiritual being which leads to understanding of life as a complex and spiritual powers hidden there; these powers are needed for transformation and renewal of human and humankind as whole that remains unchanged and independent on the time and space; we can find discover and understand there “secret beginning of life” itself.

In this article we are showing inner connections in genesis of Czech and Russian literature at the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century. Our interest was focused mainly on metamorphoses of aesthetic-philosophical approaches of O. Březina and A. Belyj whose work presents gradual heading for Czech and Russian modern art. The interest was fixed on metamorphoses of modern art, from decadent-symbolist one to evolutionary and at the same time high phase of symbolism, which can be called theurgic, using the words of the Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovjov. The theurgy was introduced into the world of art – i.e. synergy of aesthetic and religious spheres as conviction that artistic creation can take part in re-forming of the world. Březina and Belyj, reached the conclusions speaking about the metamorphosis of art into an activity understood as creative unveiling and re-shaping of basic life forms, by means of aesthetic forms and deepened aesthetic principals. Thus the idea of spiritual, psychical, physiological and physical re-forming of contemporary human who would become the first step on the way to the “Solovjovian godmanhood” became the aim and essence of theurgy. Then the art could head for correlation of earthly dimensions with the cosmic ones. The poets as the artists of life would reveal the hidden beauty of the world, they were lead by the beauty and imagination that could set free and unite everything around in the deep intuition of spiritual essence.
