The paper discusses the philosophical and historical doctrine of the Russian philosopher and historian George Petrovich Fedotov. The author focuses on the analysis of imperial issues in the works of G.P. Fedotov, especially of his views on the cultural history of the Russian empire and the essence of imperial project in Russia. Fedotov reconsiders the historical experience and revolutionary catastrophe of Russia and searches for the foundations of the social and cultural processes determining the events of Russian (...) history. Fedotov’s works offer a variety of interpretations of the political and cultural phenomenon of empire. This reflects his evolution as a philosopher of history: the focus of his vision shifts from the Medieval Rus to the Empire of Peter the Great, then to the collapsed empire of Nicholas II and finally to the USSR. Fedotov’s concept of Empire evolves into a timeless cultural-philosophical phenomenon but originates from the historical description of the centralization of power in the feudal monarchy of Ivan the Terrible. The evolution of the philosophical and historical views of Fedotov is influenced by the changes of his attitude to the historical conception of Klyuchevsky. In the 1940s Fedotov considers the empire as a universal idea. The concept of empire proposed by Fedotov gives an understanding of the Russian historical development, especially the causes of the decline and fall of the Russian Empire. Fedotov associates the cause of the salvation of Russia with the study of ancient Russian culture, in which he founds a moral and political ideal of the “Republic of Saint Sophia.” The paper shows heuristic potential of Fedotov’s cultural and philosophical ideas on the vocation of spiritual elite and the creative role of personality in the process of nation-building.

Книга представляет собой собрание работ, посвященных различным русским философам и ученым от В.А.Жуковского до Георгия Гачева. В ранее изданных книгах автора эти работы не публиковались. Книга состоит из двух частей, разделенных по хронологическому принципу. Первая часть посвящена представителям русской мысли золотого и серебряного веков. Во второй части представлены работы о лицах и сюжетах философии советского и постсоветского периодов русской истории. Значительное место в книге уделено проблеме соотношения платонизма и экзистенциальной ориентации философии, в которой, по мнению автора, кроется один из главных (...) концептуальных "узлов" русской мысли. В ней также раскрывается значение русской религиозно-философской мысли для возникновения европейского экзистенциализма. Русская мысль, подобно французской, по мнению автора, развивается традиционно в тесной связи, прежде всего, с литературой, выступающей ресурсом ее экзистенциальной направленности.

In this article, cognitivism is understood as the view that the engine of human (individual and collective) action is the intentional, dispositional, or other mental capacities of the brain or the mind. Cognitivism has been criticized for considering the essence of human action to reside in its alleged source in mental processes at the expense of the social surroundings of the action, criticism that has often been inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein's later philosophy. This article explores the logical extent of the (...) critique of cognitivism, arguing that by positing collectively shared knowledge of criteria as the engine of human action many such critiques themselves display latent cognitivism.
