The focus of the author’s attention has been on the emblematic sense concentration in the
philosophical system of Hryhorii Skovoroda. The study aims to reveal the artistic and style
features of eide emblematic formation in the texts of the Ukrainian sophist, their origin,
context, and conceptual classifi cation by the author himself. The theoretical generalizations
were essentially based on the philosophical treatises and dialogues by Hryhorii Skovoroda and
the studies of other scholars. To analyze the issues under scrutiny, the author applied structuralist
and semiotic methodology. The article highlights the emblematic sense, conveyance, and
dominance in Skovoroda’s works. Emblematic forms of signifi cation play a unique role in
elucidating the anthropological, metaphysical, ethical, aesthetic, and hermeneutic dimensions
of the Ukrainian poet and philosopher. Skovoroda considers emblemacity a particularly
eff ective pictorial and verbal (iconic-conventional) type of "signifi cative" speech, functioning
as metalanguage.
