Abstract
The author of the article aims to prove the thesis that it was the " lyubomudry" who were the first to formulate the Russia-Europe opposition at the categorical, historiosophical level, which is still fundamental to understanding Russian identification. The author notes that the desire to separate from the European past is turning into a clear trend, the reasons for which lie not only in the realm of ideology (we are not Europe, so there can be no parallels), but also in the realm of mass consciousness, brought up on the legendary history of Russia and marked by excessive xenophobia. The «West» is understood as the mythology of the West, and mythologisation is the ground on which the currents of Russian thought unite and is an integral feature of the "Russian idea", i.e. the attempt to civilise Russians. The lyubomudry succeeded in instilling German philosophy in Russian thought.
期刊介绍:
Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
