A.S. Khomiakov - Myslitel`, Poet, Publitsist

V Dvukh Tomakh

Aleksei Stepanovich Khomiakov (1804-1860) made contributions to about fifteen areas of knowledge: he was a well-known Russian Orthodox thinker, philosopher, poet, historian, mathematician, businessmen, legal scholar, sociologist, publicist, and more. He is also known as one of the founders of Slavophilism. "We inherited from Khomiakov the religious Christian direction of national consciousness, the opposition of the East and the West and related to this the philosophical understanding of the Russian mission..." (N. Berdiaev). Interest in this figure is very great in modern Russia, because he seems to be a consolidating figure of modern Russian intellectuals. The current volume in two books includes materials of the conference (April 2004). Contents: A. Khomiakov as a personality and a thinker; Slavophilism in Russian history and culture; Theological and ecclesiastical ideas of Khomiakov; Main philosophical ideas of Khomiakov; The Concept of "sobornost" in Khomiakov`s works; Problem of historiosophy in Khomiakov`s works; Artistic world of Khomiakov; Khomiakov in the cultural memory of Russia.
