On the Issue of the philosophy of religion Yu.F. Samarin
In the given Article S. Skorokhodova looks upon some philosophical and religious ideas of “ the incorrigible slavophil” Yu. Samarin. She interprets here S. Vvedenski’ s thesis why Samarin’ s mindset is ethical-teleological theism. It is affirmed that his religious and philosophical outlook is based on personalism which denies individualism and leads to the establishment of the inner relation of the personality either with religious and mystical or with the social entity. The religious and the philosophical reflections of Yu. Samarin are compared with the ideas of I. Kireevski and A. Khomyakov. It is proved that Yu. Samarin’s point of view was peculiar in the overall context of the Slavophils’ religious philosophy. In particular, the peculiarity of his outlook is shown in his doctrine on “ personal revelation”. The novelty of the research is also based on the archival material to which the author refers. It is shown that the philosopher made a special emphasis on the fact that to him “will” was a special strength of mind and he believed that its role in the inner life of man is poorly studied. The conclusion is made that Yu. Samarin’s Philosophy of Religion is connected with his Philosophy of History, Political Philosophy, Antropology. It is also concluded that though the Political Philosophy dominates in his works it is regarded by him through spiritual measurements.
