ONTOLOGICAL STUDIES IN RUSSIAN RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY OF THE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURIES

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of the methodological positions of the Russian religious philosophers of the 19th - early 20th centuries in the field of ontology. The study was conducted using the methods of historical and philosophical analysis: method of comparative analysis; method of historical and philosophical reconstruction; interpretation method; method of synthesis as a compound of the interpreted material in a new quality. As a result of the study, it was revealed that throughout the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries Russian religious philosophy tried to find such methodological positions that would become the foundation for philosophical systems, organically combined with the Orthodox mystical tradition, with the theistic worldview of Christianity. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the fact that the study of the deep, methodological stratum of Russian religious thought expands the theoretical possibilities for the further development of philosophical knowledge.
