Philosophische Probleme der modernen orthodoxen Theologie
This publication is a non-academic discussion of the philosophical problems of contemporary Orthodox theology. Participants in the discussion were asked to express their views on the most important challenges facing contemporary Orthodox thinking, focusing on the following questions posed by the editors of the journal Otechestvennaya Philosophiya: 1) What is Russian Orthodox theology at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century? What do yo…
Kant, Berkeley and “Copernican upheaval”: A new format of the old standing issue
The author deals with the historical context of the eminent Kantian Copernican upheaval in philosophy, which from his point of view cannot be correctly conceived without proper understanding of the real correlation of critical philosophy with Berkleyan idealism. In spite of the historical facts that Kant insisted on his large debt to Hume and tried to prove his utter incompatibility of his theory with Berkeley’s doctrine whom he had pretendedly u…
Buddhist Idealism and Brahmanist Realism: The Initial Stage of the Controversy
The author of the paper always has used opportunities to underline his understanding of Indian philosophy as a common debating-society and now one of the “sections” of this centuries-long “conference”, i.e. on the reality of extramental objects is his topic. It is true that the schools of traditional Buddhism also opposed the Vijñānavadins’ doctrine that only consciousness, its acts and modes of its work on their own ideations were real, but th…
On the Way to a Secularized Theology: Why Today’s Disapproval of an Atemporal God Is Gaining Momentum
The ongoing secularization of religion, which is associated with the development of a “post-secular society,” also manifests itself in a major controversy in analytic theology, which not so long ago remained a stronghold of religious traditionalism. The belief in the inseparability of essential atemporality of the Divine from creationism, which lies at the core of Christianity and other monotheistic religions, is in the process of being revised b…
Analytic Philosophy: Has It Finally Been Defined
While analytical philosophy remains the main format of academic philosophizing in Great Britain and the USA, wining ground on the European continent and in the Third World countries, its comprehension as a cultural phenomenon falls far behind the scale of its spread even at the level of identification. The article examines solution to this problem suggested by Hans-Johann Glock — one of the most eminent historians of analytic philosophy, who sets…
Philosophical realism: The pinafore stage of existence
In spite of the fact that ideas in line with the world-outlook format of realism (as also those in the format of irrealism) come back already to Antiquity, it was not earlier than from the end of the 18th century that the metaphilosophical concept under discussion has begun to evolve. The initial becoming of the concept of philosophical realism during score of years from the first edition of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason (1781) to Schelling’s Sy…
The Catalogues of the Virtues and Strategic Immorality: Bipolar Ethics in Kāmandaki’s Nītisāra
It is for the first time that recommendations to a “practitioning monarch” in the framework of the classical Indian political science has been introduced into the contexts of comparative ethics in this paper, and it is Kāmandaki’s Nītisāra (ca.7th C.A.D.), both scarcely studied and by no means insignificant, on which investigation is based. The catalogues of the virtues detected in the text provide us with direct correlates not only to the Platon…
Is the Concept of the Post-Secular Justified? On the 15th Anniversary of J. Habermas’ Istanbul Report “Against Military Atheism”
On April 22, 2023, the editorial board of the journal “St. Tikhon’s University Review. Theology. Philosophy. Religious Studies” with the participation of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies of St. Tikhon’s University, within the framework of the annual conference “Research in Religion: Past, Present, Future”, a round table dedicated to the problems associated with the concept of “post-secular”. The presentations and the subsequent …
Hindu and Classical Ancient virtues in a comparative perspective
The author claims that Graeco-Roman, Hindu and Chinese catalogues of virtues have much more common with each other than what is permitted by contemporary agnosticism in cultural studies which has only the appearance of wisdom. As to the differences, they are connected with the soteriological intention behind the Hindu catalogues while the Greek (before Neoplatonism) and Chinese ones label the development of secular personal dignity and social res…
Stratified reality in Francis Bradley’s idealism, its critics and a personalistic alternative
It was at the turn of the the twentieth century when Francis Bradley’s metaphysics permeated with the spirit of German Idealism was one of the strongest trends of English academic philosophy. But after the “neopositivist Brexit” launched by Russell, Moore and some other analytical thinkers it became mainly a subject for historians of idealism. An attempt is undertaken in the paper to reveal both the historical and actual significance of Bradley…
Philosophical Disintegration and a Chance of Practical Philosophy
The author interprets such an important regularity that while “philosophies of whatever one likes” (up to philosophies of work and recreation, dance and sport, sex and covenants, etc.) are acquiring unlimited “legalization”, self-reflexion of philosophy survives the profoundest crisis these days. He calls it the paradox of the obstinate growth of trees as simultaneous with felling. Incremental deterioration of the very interest for mapping phi…
“Philosophy” in Classical India: A Regimentation of the Sources
The author enters an already old dispute, that is whether a countеrepart of the notion of philosophy could be encountered in the traditional India, upholds the view that the term ānvīkşikī (lit. “investigation”) was nearest to it and traces its meaning along the texts on dharma (from the Gautama-dharmasûtra, i.e. the 2nd century B.C., to the later medieval commentaries on the Mānavadharmaśāstra), politics (the Arthaśāstra and Kamandaki’s Nītisār…
The narrative of secularism and the religion of German Enlightenment
It is a wide spectrum of the interrelations between philosophy and religion in Germany during the Enlightenment as disclosed in the newest book by Ludmila Kryshtop Morality and Religion in the Philosophy of German Enlightenment — from Thomasius to Kant regarded in the lenses of German studies whrerefrom those of Konrad Feiereis and Albrecht Beutel could be selected, that makes up the subject-matter of this article. The author highly estimates bot…
Theories of Redemption within Analytic Theology and Some Disregarded Metaphors
The so-called paradox of fiction and transcendental ontology
While the phenomenon of our feeling of empathy for literary characters has escorted the history of imaginative writing from the very beginning, its ontological foundations have been investigated only from 1970s. The question is about different theories of “the paradox of fiction” which was introduced by Colin Redford. The basic idea behind the paradox is that empathy for the nonexistent characters of fiction and their interrelations as real is p…
Šaňkara versus Sāňkhya: A Competition for the Vedic Heritage and Logical Rationality. Šaňkara, Brahmasûtrabhāṣya II.2.1–10, Trans. by Vladimir K. Shokhin
The article deals with the controversy between Advaita-Vedānta and Sāňkhya, two most influential Brāhmanic systems of the early medieval period wherefrom the first with Šaňkarācharya (7th – 8th centuries A.D.) at the head embarked on the successful сonquest of the Indian philosophical space while the second one began to surrender. While scrutinizing the controversial sections of Šaňkara’s magnum opus, the Brahmasûtrabhāṣya one can discern two t…
Which Attitude to Interreligious Interrelations is Presented by Udayana’ Philosophy
Сегодня классическая индийская философия начинает выходить из узкого круга санскритологических штудий и узнаваться как составная часть мирового философского процесса. Этот сдвиг является однозначно конструктивным, и авторитетнейший философ школы ньяя Удаяна (ХI в.) не является здесь исключением, поскольку его разработки в области логики, эпистемологии, рациональной теологии включаются уже в общие контексты презентации соответствующих разделов…
Axiology and Agathology
From the very beginning, attention is given to the fact that, being introduced at the very beginning of the 20th century, the axiology term, meaning the doctrine of values, almost immediately led to a boom in the development of theories of values (mainly in continental philosophy), whereas the agathology term, meaning the doctrine of goods, which was introduced in 1770 and then rediscovered in 1823, came to almost complete oblivion. For its rehab…
Philosolhical and Theological Discourse and Defnitions of Dogmata in Spiritual and Academic School of Synodal Period
This article outlines the defi nitions of the dogmata in the most infl uential and mainstream tradition in Russian theology of the Synodal period, beginning from the “Dogmatic Theology” (Russ. Догматическое богословие) by archimandrite (future archbishop) Antony (Amfi teatrov) (1848) and concluding with the benchmarking article by Alexey Vvedensky “The Issue of Methodological Reform of Orthodox Dogmatics” (1904; Russ. К вопросу о методологической…
Is it easy to conquer the fortress of rational theology
This paper deals with a certain new attempt to dismantle rational theology, which is in line with innumerable exercises of this kind after Heideggerean criticism of “ontotheology” with addition of “household arguments”. The author of the paper carries out a detailed analysis of this attempt from historical and logical points of view, demonstrating its weakness and outlining further topics in this fi eld of knowledge

Substantiations of the Existence of God: New attempt of classificatory analysis
This article gives a critical analysis of old-established stereotypes about substantiations of the existence of God. The attention is focused on their identifi cation as “proofs” and, in more detail, on their formal division into the a priori and a posteriori types and the “material” division into primary and secondary (and, correspondingly, into primary and secondary within both groups as well). The article suggests their defi nition as dialecti…
The Problem of Evil: Theodicy and Argumentation
The paper departs from differing of two modalities of the attitude of the theistic reason to the problem of evil, i.e. building of universally valid explanatonary models (theodicy) and apologies in the particular contexts (defense). The first one contradicts to the foundations of theistic world-view inasmuch as the biblical texts persuade one that causes of evil are particular and not universal and are far sometimes to be in the scope of a finite…
Natural Theology, Philosophical Theology and Illustrative Argumentation
I will attempt to define what we understand as “narrative argumentation” or “narrative arguments” through an appeal to a discussion of intercultural rational theology. In this context I offer a distinction between two concepts, which are considered usually as synonymous. Philosophical theology is regarded from the historical point of view as the whole repertoire of attempts at rational justification of the faith in God along with analysis of His …

The Philosophy of Religion: A New Field for Russian Philosophy
This paper analyzes why philosophy of religion can surprisingly be considered a rather new field in Russian philosophy. While religion has played a major role in modern Russian culture, the philosophy of religion is still searching a precise definition of its object and domain. Initially, Russian philosophies of religion were inspired by Western influential works, whereas philosophy of religion is barely considered as distinct from theology. As s…
How was the Classical Metaphysics Made
It is true that the Western metaphysics could be described as a continual tradition, which up to these days has been working on the issues and challenges coming from the Academy and Liceum, but its history has also undergone the shifts of paradigms linked with changes in its self-consciousness. The article deals with the passage from the traditional metaphysics, which covered two millenniums, to the classical stage dating from the early Modernity…
The Pioneering Appearances of Philosophy of Religion in Europe: François Para du Phanjas on the Nature of Religion
Philosophy is, in some sense, the self-reflection of general culture, and perpetual self-reflection has been a primary occupation of philosophy in the West. Consequently, self-reflection is of great importance for dividing philosophical fields into separate divisions, and philosophy of religion is no exception. This paper deals with a thinker who constructed a “philosophy of religion” as a discipline, but was overlooked by historians. The main ac…
