| Title | N. F. Fedorov's Place in Russian Intellectual History |
| Summary | In this thesis, I address the versatile interpretations that N. F. Fedorov, nineteenth century Russian thinker received in the first half of the twentieth century. After the fall of the Soviet Union, his name became associated with the term Russian Cosmism, but in the past this interpretation framework was absent from Russian thought. I reconstruct two debates at the turn of the century, between Fedorov’s disciple N. P. Peterson and Prince Evgenii Trubetskoy, and Peterson and S. A. Golovanenko. These debates were about Fedorov’s relationship to traditional Christianity and whether his teaching is “purely immanent” or it contains “transcendental elements”. I argue that the positions available in these debates were later reproduced in Florovsky’s and Zenkovsky’s comprehensive works on Russian philosophical thinking. |
