Energy Substantiation of the World’s Unity in Russian Philosophy o f the 20th Century

Abstract

This article is devoted to the problem of energy substantiation of the world's unity in Russian religious philosophy of the first half of the 20th century. The origins of the energy views - Gregory Palamas's teaching of the difference between the essence and energy - are revealed. The metaphysical conceptions by P. Florensky, A. Losev, N. Lossky, S. Frank, L. Karsavin are analyzed. The basic differences in interpretation of the world's unity and the general philosophical position - the teaching about energies - are identified. The influence of teaching about the energies can be traced in the conceptions of the unity, antinomian nature of the world, ontological nature of the love, symbolic realism.
