Evlampiev, I. I. European Tradition
in Modern Russian Philosophy
Abstract:
The article provides a description of several bright
Russian philosophers of the modern times who can be also
called modern Westerners. It is shown that in their creative
work the above mentioned philsophers manage to combine
Western philosophical concepts with the traditional ideas of
Russian philosophy. One of the brightest philosophers of the
late Soviet era was Merab Mamardashvili. The most important
Mamardashvili’s concept was the close connection betwee
personality and the world: on one hand, world depends on
personality and this is why classical rationality cannot be applied
to it. On the other hand, personality must admit its dependence
on the ‘divine dimension’ of the world. Vladimir Bibikhin proved
that the main quality of personality is not isolation but opennness
for the world. Based on that concept, Bibikin critisized Western
civilization. Developing Friedrich Nietzsche’s and Oswald
Spengler’s ideas, Karen Swassjan aso talked about incovertible
crisis of Western culture. Just like Bibikhin he insisted that the
crisis was caused by distortion of the Christian outlook which
had happened in the history of church. The author also described
creative development of another modern philospher and writer
– Vladimir Kantor. Kantor viewed Russian history as the
opposition between environmental powers and civilization. In his
opinion, progressive development of Russia depends on gradual
introduction of the concept of right into social life which would
tame the power of people’s life and despotism of government.
