Abstract
Aim. The article examines the development of the philosophical views of Gustav Teichmüller, the German philosopher of the second half of the 19th century, professor at the University of Dorpat, in his work “Towards the Platonic Question” (1876).
Methodology. The influence of his views on Russian philosophy is determined, the reception of Teichmüller’s views from his Russian students and his translators, V. S. Shilkarsky, V. Lutoslavsky, A. A. Kozlov, E. A. Bobrov, A. N. Gilyarov, is considered. The philosophy of Teichmüller and the concept of V. S. Solovyov “Philosophical Principles of Whole Knowledge” (1877) are compared. Teichmüller’s attitude to Plato’s teachings is being clarified. The question of the Teichmüller-Zeller controversy is being studied.
Results. The article considers Teichmüller’s concept in the essay “On the Platonic Question” (1876). Here we raised the question of the influence of the ideas of Gustav Teichmüller’s philosophy (1832- 1888) on Russian philosophy and therefore compared his 1876 work “On the Platonic Question” with the writings of a number of Russian thinkers. The question of Teichmüller’s anticipation of some ideas of neo-Kantianism was raised and studied.
Research implications. For the first time, historical and philosophical comprehensive work was carried out to study not only certain aspects of the philosophical heritage of the German-Russian thinker Gustav Teichmüller (1832–1888), but also the perspective his works have influencing the formation of the Moscow Philosophical and Mathematical School. The question of the intersection of Teichmüller’s ideas, in particular, the idea of immanence, with Kant, Trendelenburg, Fries and some other scientists, the “immanent idea” introduced by Plato and related to Aristotle as related to movement and energy, was studied. According to Teichmüller, Aristotle built this concept of Plato initially on the concept of entelechy (truth). Here Teichmüller emphasized the commonality of opinions of Plato and Aristotle.
