Zlotnikova T.S. The philosophy of creative personality. Monograph. — M.: OOO Publishing house "the Soglasie». — 918 p.
 
In the book of the critic and culturologist Tatiana Zlotnikovoj built the author's concept study of a creative personality as a philosophical, aesthetic, socio-psychological and socio-cultural analyse of the phenomenon. The concept of the creative person has received not only extensive and multifaceted theoretical understanding, but also revealed itself in the spectrum of empirical analysis: through cultural codes of identification of the creative person (first of all, archetype and game), through the national-mental specificity of Russian culture (the tension of the borderline perception of the world and social being, interaction with the environment, including provincial, and the government, including totalitarian), through paradoxically revealed problems of mass culture (the environment and the subject of the activities of domestic creators). A special place in the book is occupied by the personality and paradoxes of the creative destinies of specific domestic persons, among them – and great writers (Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov, Gorky), and great Directors (Meyerhold, Vakhtangov, Kozintsev, Tovstonogov, Efros, Efremov, Volchek, Zakharov), and great actors (M. Chekhov, Lebedev, Jurassic), and – what is done for the first time – scientists of different generations, whose works have been studied and as a proper scientific works, and as literary works (from classics, Berdyaev and Rozanov, to contemporaries, Kondakova and Cantor). The author of the book showed his own way of understanding of the creative person, and this way is several decades; various fragments of this book were published before in scientific journals, collections and numerous monographs, but the material in its integrity is collected for the first time.
