Abstracts

The article discusses the philosophical thought of Ivan Kireevsky — co-author of 19th-century Russian Slavophilia. Th is Slavophile theoretician criticized heavily the European civilization for its rationalism, individualism and capitalism by confronting it with the Russian civilization which was built — as he tried to convince others — upon the highest values. Nevertheless, Kireevksy postulated rather a dialogical approach, i.e. Russian participation in the development of Western civilization. Russia, on the other hand, was supposed to adopt the fruits of the Europe’s intellectual heyday, some elements of its technological progress, and simultaneously enrich the European world with spiritual values giving a higher meaning to human practical activities.
