The monograph is based on the materials of the Ph.D. thesis of the same name and is devoted to a philosophical understanding of the nature and essence of rock culture, which is presented in the context of the modern embodiment of the heroic tradition. This is demonstrated in more detail by the example of the dark folk direction. Despite the fact that the defense took place in 2011, the work to this day is almost the only one considering rock culture in a similar vein, as confirmed by numerous references to it.
