The relevance of the article is due to the need to determine the philosophical basis of the worldview and poetic world of the Ukrainian literature classic of the XX–XXI centuries Pavlo Movchan (born in 1939) — ancient Greek spontaneous materialism — as the basis of universal and national memory, the continuity of history. The peculiarities of Movchan’s spontaneous materialism are the subject of research. The main problem of the article is the connection of each specific existence with the million-year history of the material world, humanity and a specific — Ukrainian — nation, reproduced in P. Movchan’s poetry, the role of this existence as a connecting link in the transfer of information (memory) from the past to the future. Cultural-historical, biographical, hermeneutic and formal (philological) research methods were used to solve this problem.
As a result of the study, the images of the four elements were traced in the poet’s lyrical works. Different forms (water — snow, rain, well, spring, reservoirs, blood, etc.; earth — soil, clay, sand, stone, salt, etc.; fire — sun, light, ray, etc.; air — wind, whirlwind, etc.) of these elements become the most important in the life of the Ukrainian peasant-farmer, and therefore also of the ethnos.
The primary elements are in constant motion, creating new things, objects, and phenomena as a synthesis of elements and their inevitable destruction. Only latent small imprints of the existence and transformations of matter in the form of energy (information) remain while reading. The preservation and the transmission of this energy to the next generations is the vocation, the purpose of a man in the world.
The poetic world and the poet’s ideological concept syncretically combine knowledge of the global and Ukrainian national origins of existence, which determine the essence of our present and future life. Man as a combination of four elements, as a part of the primordial movement of the elements, is inextricably linked with his destined space, environment. Universal and ethnic memory as another name for energy-information unites a person with time and space, makes it possible to find and realize one’s own purpose on earth.
