2. New Tasks in the Study of Classical Chinese Literature in the Age of Globalization and Informatization Issues of Far Eastern Literatures: Materials of the 11th International Scientific Conference. June 27–29, 2024 31 Lü Hui (Hainan University), 89lvhui@126.com A Study of Su Shi's Philosophical Thought in the Works of the Russian Sinologist Martinov The Russian sinologist Martinov examines the philosophical ideas of “Buddha, Lao and Confucius”, as expressed in Su Shi’s literary works, in the context of life journey of the poet, who was endowed with great talent but was not able to utilise it to full extent. The main value of this scholarly study is that it incorpo- rates the “imperial theory” perspective. The scholar uses the concept of “empire” to analyze the essential departure of Su Shi's philosophical thought from the ideology of the medieval Chinese empire, and discusses the relationship between the thought and practice of Confucianism and imperial governance. In a unique and new research perspective, the author answers the question why Su Shi’s philosophical thought was not accepted by his contemporaries. The methodological approach used by the Russian sinologist, his fresh approach to the problem and interesting conclusions cannot but interest literary scholars and researchers of Su Shi’s works in the domestic academic community. Keywords: Martinov; Su Shi; philosophical thought; empire.
