Abstract

The article discusses peculiarities of the philosophical and religious worldview of the Lebanese writer-philosopher of the twentieth century, one of the most prominent representatives of the Syro-American school, Jebran Khalil Jebran. Particular attention is paid to parables, essays, sayings included in the collection “Wanderer”, reflecting the properties of the neo-Sufi worldview. Problems of a philosophical plan are considered as pivotal for the writer. Motives and imagery are analyzed and are based on the characteristics of their religious-mystical interpretation, when the phenomena of “field semantics” acquire additional meaning, become symbols and require decoding. The authors conclude that Jebran Khalil Jebran is an artist, thinker, mystic, poet, his books have long and firmly entered the gold fund of world literature.
