Siemion Frank (1877-1950) considered the Universe as an 'all-unity'. According to him, everything is a part of the all-unity which has a divine character. God is present in the world but his nature is incomprehensible. In this article the author analyzes two consequences of Frank's panentheistic view concerning the relation between science and theology. Firstly, limits of scientific knowledge allow to emphasize the mystery of the world and the transcendence of God. Secondly, Frank claims that the nature is a 'trace' of God and the manifestation of the absolute reality, i.e., all-unity. As a result, both science and theology lead to the knowledge of God, although his essence remains inaccessible.

According to a Russian philosopher Siemion Frank, there is no such thing as “truth” in science without making a pre­‑assumption about the existence of some kind absolute, and in Frank’s eyes “absolute” always equals “God”. That is why you cannot be an atheist and scientist at the same time. The article is an attempt to show that it is not a proper notion of what science is or should be because: 1) science does not need any idea of truth (maybe philosophy of science does), 2) a consistent notion of truth can be formulated without any notion of absolute, 3) “absolute” not always equals “God”, or even “transcendence”.

This article is dedicated to the problem of philosophical development of famous Russian philosopher Semen Frank (1877-1950) at his early stage of creativity. To begin with, Frank shared the conception of so- called legal Marxism which was very popular in Russia in the end of the 20th century. Gradually, he gave up this view and started publishing at first on Neo-Kantian topics and, later on, as religious thinker. Nevertheless, Frank continued interest in Marxism, even if he criticized it.

One of the most puzzling categories in The Unknowable by Semyon Frank is созерцание - a word close to German Anschauung and sometimes used as its translation. The aim of this article is to analyze the meaning of the category of созерцание in Frank’s book and to indicate some of its philosophical sources. First, I discuss the role the term Anschauung plays in the works of Kant and Goethe. The selection of these two authors allows, in my opinion, to describe both Frank's rooting in classical philosophy and the distinction of his approach. One can distinguish two different cognitive acts which are denoted by the word созерцание in Frank’s work: an immediate, non-discursive and synthetic cognition of objective being as well as the cognition of the unconditional being through experience that overcomes the subject- object relation. I argue that the importance of the synthetic and non-discursive intuitive cognition can be interpreted as Goethe's legacy in The Unknowable. Although Frank's usage of the term созерцание is rather far from Kant’s (which is evident in his neglect of the distinction receptive/spontaneous, fundamental in The Critique of Pure Reason), the problem Frank attempts to deal with, i. e. the possibility of the unconditioned cognition of being was important for the post-Kantian philosophers (Fichte among others) which makes Kant and the German Idealism a crucial context to understand it.

Artykuł zawiera analizę porównawczą myśli rosyjskiego emigracyjnego filozofia Siemiona Franka i jednego z najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli filozofii i teologii procesu Charlesa Hartshorne’a. Wśród punktów zbieżnych wskazano na ich integralną wizję rzeczywistości. Rozważono podejście Franka i Hartshorne’a w kwestii poznania Boga, szczególną uwagę poświęcając ich interpretacji dowodu ontologicznego. Hartshorne był zaznajomiony z myślą rosyjską i nawet napisał recenzje na klasyczne książki Zieńkowskiego i Łosskiego na temat historii filozofii rosyjskiej, gdzie niejednokrotnie wspominał o Franku. Nie można mówić o wpływach obydwóch myślicieli na siebie, ale raczej o wspólnym dziedzictwie filozoficznym sięgającym Platona.

The article contains a comparative analysis of the thought of Russian émigré philosopher Semen Frank and one of the most prominent representatives of process philosophy and theology Charles Hartshorne. Among the points of convergence, their integral vision of reality was pointed out. Frank’s and Hartshorne’s approaches to the question of cognition of God were considered, with special attention paid to their interpretation of the ontological proof. Hartshorne was familiar with Russian thought and even wrote reviews on Zenkovsky and Lossky’s classic books on the history of Russian philosophy, where he mentioned Frank more than once. One cannot speak of the two thinkers’ influence on each other, but rather of a common philosophical heritage going back to Plato.
