Etienne Gilson relied his concept of doing history of philosophy on Thomistic metaphysics, so it enable him to distinguish between the proper history of philosophy and history of philosophical texts or history of philosophical doctrine; the former concerns philosophical problems disregarding their historical contexts. He referred to the way of studying history of philosophy, which was worked out by St. Thomas Aquinas as well as Aristotle and Alexandrian scholars before him, who were distinguishing between publication, understanding, interpretation and valuation of the text in text studying. Such history of philosophy allows not only to make synthesis within its framework, but also to pose a question on the adequacy of historical solutions of philosophical problems to real being; in that way history of philosophy becomes auxiliary and supporting science.

This paper analyzes the problem of Western perceptions of one of the most original branches of the Russian Philosophical Renaissance that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century: namely, the so called Russian Religious Philosophy. This problem still possesses contemporary relevance, owing to the fact that Russian philosophy continues to be engaged in a search for self-identification in respect of Western philosophical contexts. The paper shows that “Russian Religious Philosophy” is perceived by Western thinkers not only as “an exotic cultural phenomenon,” but also as an equal partner in a dialogue: it is considered a significant philosophical achievement, meeting all generally accepted criteria of philosophical creativity. The German Catholic philosopher Peter Ehlen’s monograph on the subject of the religious philosophy of Semyon Lyudvigovich Frank will furnish us, here, with an example of just such an approach. The author of the monograph approaches his subject as something which he himself stands in an essential connection to—something which he, as a researcher, is in a peculiar spiritual communion with. A common spiritual experience of the religious perception of reality determines both Ehlen’s interest in Frank and the specific character of the research undertaken by him. The position of researcher, expected to maintain a certain distance from his or her subject matter, is replaced by that of a co-thinker, engaged in co-experiencing and understanding in depth the ideas of the particular philosopher under examination. The result of this approach is a new synthesis created by Ehlen on the basis of Frank’s philosophy.
