О В.Ф. ЭРНЕ И Е.Н. ТРУБЕЦКОМ: НЕКОТОРЫЕ ЗАМЕЧАНИЯ

Abstract

The article considers the creative relationship between two notable Russian thinkers of the early twentieth century – Vladimir Frantsevich Ern (1882–1917) and Evgeny Nikolaevich Trubetskoy (1863–1919). For Ern, once a student and then an associate professor at Moscow University, the philosophical ideas of E.N. Trubetskoy’s brother, Sergei Nikolaevich Trubetskoy (1862–1905), turned out to be extremely important, Ern directly called him his teacher. As for the relations between the two representatives of the religious and philosophical group “Way”, E.N. Trubetskoy and V.F. Ern, despite the proximity of the ideological and theoretical platform, it is rather a history of confrontations. One example is E.N. Trubetskoy’s disagreement with the original version of the collective program statement of the Way group, in the creation of which Ern was directly involved. However, during their stay in Italy, both thinkers discover a similar understanding of modern Catholicism and V.S. Solovyov’s theocratic utopia. The article also deals with P.A. Florensky, M.K. Morozova, A.F. Losev.
