Abstract. The aim of the study is to provide insight into the features of the symbolic expression of various philosophical ideas and concepts by the languages of painting and music. The paper describes the phenomenon of mutual translatability of religious-philosophical and general philosophical concepts and the visual-figurative language of fine art using E. N. Trubetskoy’s consideration of ancient Russian icon painting as an example; identifies the tendencies of philosophising about music in the XIX century and also pays attention to the polemic between R. Wagner and F. Nietzsche as the most important moment in the development of Western and global philosophy of music. The scientific novelty of the study lies in proving the thesis about the mutual translatability of various heterogeneous cultural languages - biological and social, theological and philosophical, everyday and artistic-aesthetic, visual and verbal. As a result, the paper substantiates the provision that philosophical ideas and concepts can be expressed symbolically in any language of culture - in the languages of painting and architecture, music and poetry, natural science and journalism.
