Introduction. The research actualizes the introduction of anthropological discourse in the poetic creations of the Kiev neoclassics (M. Zerov, M. Rylsky, P.Fylypovych, M. Drai-Khmara, Y. Klen) within their individual aesthetics and philosophical and cultural context.
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to find out the key individual modes of artistic anthropology of the neoclassicists, illuminating the human nature of their poetry.
Methodology. The point of reference of the interpretative model is the text of the neoclassics, which mediates the person in various aspects of his life. The methodology of scientific research was determined by the resou rces of literary anthropology. Results. The complex of human-science problems, which operate in the plane of the author’s text of the neoclassical coordinates of interaction: human / world, person / social, person / culture, person / person, person / actua l self, is found. It is proved that the artistic world of the poetry of each of the authors functions in the problem field of philosophical anthropol ogy G. Skovorody and D. Chyzhevsky. It is an individually interpreted reflection of anthropological themati c dominant: anthropocentrism, humanism, soul. A significant role in the interpretation of the paradigm of artistic anthropology of
representatives of the neoclassical grouping is given to the characterization of the structure of the author’s consciousness. It was found to be conditioned by signs of irrational thinking and predisposed to introversion by the subject of lyrics. Originality. The creative contribution of the neoclassics is analyzed in the light of the categories of literary
anthropology; in the broad philosophical and culturological contexts the peculiarities of their poetry related to the phenomenon of man as the main postulate of artistic philosophy and the object of poetic image are considered. Conclusion. The anthropological dimension of the poetry of the neoclassics testifies to the domination in its thematiccontent field of a wide range of humanistic issues. Further research requires a whole range of their conceptual sphere in the strategies of literary anthropology (the concept «heart», the concept «experience», the concept «body», etc.).
