Tradition and revelation in F.J. Molitor’s philosophy of history
The article analyzes the attempt to create a holistic doctrine of the historical process, undertaken by the German philosopher and Hebraist Franz Joseph Molitor (1779–1860). Molitor’s views, expressed in his major work, “The Philosophy of History, or On Tradition” (1827–1857), were based both on the philosophical ideas of Schelling and the concepts of Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah). An expert in Hebrew and Aramaic, Molitor devoted most of his li…
“The First Poet of Siberia”
The biography of Georgy Vladimirovich Maslov (1895–1920), a talented Russian poet and literary critic whose life was cut short during the Civil War, still has white spots. His poems and essays turned out to be scattered among hard-to-reach provincial and émigré newspapers, journals, and collected volumes. Handwritten copies of his works had a difficult fate, like the people who kept them. Of particular importance for clarifying biographical and t…
“A contemporary of Moses reborn in our days”
The biography and views of Oscar Goldberg (1885–1952), a Jewish-German philosopher, psychologist and religious thinker, have in recent years attracted increasing attention from specialists in the history of philosophy, religious and cultural studies. The interpretation of metaphysical problems, the nature of myth and ritual, and the concepts of the sacred and profane that he proposed had a significant influence on a number of thinkers and write…
Mystical vision and its evaluation in the Russian freemasonry of the late 18th — early 19th century
In the richest manuscript heritage of Russian freemasons, who lived two centuries ago, there are numerous descriptions of various mystical experiences. These are visions and mystical dreams in which beings from the other world appeared, as well as deliberately evoked mystical states by which an adept attempts to penetrate into the other world. For censorship reasons, this aspect of the activities of Russian brothers practically did not go beyond …
From Old Newspapers
The article discusses the history of publication of two works by Alexander Kuprin (1870–1938) and Ivan Shmelev (1873–1950) in “Russkaya Gazeta” (“Russian newspaper”), which is an emigrant newspaper issued in Paris in 1923–1925. Their publication remained unnoticed by modern researchers. The article examines Kuprin’s participation in this periodical, as well as the historical context of Kuprin’s article “Diaries and Letters” (1923) published in th…
Moshe Cordovero’s Kabbalah and its reception in Europe at the end of the 17th century
Moshe ben Ya’akov Cordovero (1522–1570) was one of the most influential Kabbalists of the 16th century living in Safed in Northern Galilee (Ottoman Empire). The systematic explanation of the basic concepts of Kabbalah that he proposed had a significant impact on the subsequent development of Kabbalah. A characteristic feature of the views of Cordovero and his followers was the desire to “demythologize” Kabbalah, to create a synthesis of earlier…
Jewish Philosopher from Lithuanian Forests
Solomon Maimon (1753–1800), one of the most significant Jewish philosophers of modern times, in his writings tried to critically approach the tradition of Jewish thought and compare its teachings with the views of European philosophers. In recent decades, he and his views have attracted close attention of historians of philosophy. Recently, seven volumes of his works were published in Russia, translated from German and Hebrew. One of his most f…
“Moses Germanus” and judeo-christian relations of the early Enlightenment
The second half of the 17th century was a turning point in religious life of the Protestant world of Europe. It was at this time that signifi cant changes occurred in relations between Christians and Jews. It was a time of amazing divergence, spiritual quest, of emergence of new religious groups and movements whose members considered personal mystical experience and collective eschatological expectations much more important than dogmatic diff ere…
Gurdjieff in Constantinople
George Gurdjieff (1866–1949) and his students’ stay in Constantinople in 1920–1921 remains a blank spot in the movement’s history. Very few records relating to this period survive. In Constantinople, Gurdjieff succeeded in founding the first branch of the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, after his attempts in Tbilisi in 1919 had failed. In this article, two important documents related to this period are published in English transl…
A Fuzzy Ahp Approach for Ranking Parameters and Indicators of Sustainable Functioning and Development of Opening-Up of an Opencast System
The opening-up of an opencast system is fundamental in the structure of the mining and technical system (MTS) and the efficiency of the functioning and development of the MTS as a whole depends on the quality of the assessment of its functioning. The decision-making on the reconstruction of the mining and technical system and its subsystems in modern conditions cannot be based only on the basis of a comparison of the technical and economic indica…
“Heavenly Adam” and Jewish Kabbalah in the European religious and philosophical thought of the late 17th – early 18th centuries
В статье предпринят анализ различных интерпретаций представления о предвечном, архетипическом человеке (ивр. Адам Кадмон), заимствованного европейскими мыслителями XVII – начала XVIII вв. из традиции еврейского мистицизма (каббалы). Европейские авторы, познакомившиеся с этой идеей благодаря контактам с представителями каббалы, их сочинениям и переводам, активно использовали ее при разработке собственных взглядов. Проводя параллель между Адамом …
The concept of the Primordial Man (Adam Kadmon) in jewish mysticism
This article discusses one of the most important conceptions in Jewish mysticism, according to which the fi rst manifestation of the incomprehensible God is an anthropomorphic structure of light, termed the Primordial Man (Heb. Adam Kadmon). The article studies the origin of this conception, its parallels to other religious and philosophical traditions, as well as diff erences in its interpretation in various versions of Kabbalistic doctrine. Som…
Boris Stolpner
This article deals with the life and creative work of the Russian-Jewish philosopher Boris Stolpner (1871–1937), the important but undeservedly forgotten representative of the Russian thought of the Silver Age. For three decades he was at the heart of discussions on issues of religion, philosophy, literature, politics and was familiar with almost all outstanding representatives of the cultural life of Russia of that time. The focus of the article…
Doctrine of the infinite in Jewish mysticism
Статья посвящена анализу центральной для средневекового еврейского мистицизма концепции Бесконечного (Эйн-соф) -сокрытого, абсолютно непостижимого Бога.Эта важнейшая мистическая интуиция присутствует в большинстве каббалистических текстов.Она имела первостепенное значение и для каббалистической космогонии, и для гносеологии, исходящей из представления о том, что познание Бога возможно лишь в его связи с творением, и для соответствующей мистическо…
The Names of God in Jewish Mysticism
The concept of the names of God and their role in the creation and existence of the world, as well as the practice of their veneration constitute an essential part of Judaism in general, and are elaborated in detail in Jewish mysticism. In Kabbalah, an idea of the creative power of the Tetragrammaton (the ineff able four-letter Name) and other names occupies an especially prominent place. It is based on the idea of linguistic mysticism conveyed i…
The Kabbalah As Primordial Tradition In Russian Secret Societies

It may be reported by the revelation that the Ten Commandments were revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai. In…
