Abstract

We consider the relation between culture and history in the philosophical heritage of the Russian religious thinker at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries L.P. Karsavin. It is shown that culture and history, in Karsavin's intentions, represent the result of the highest actualization of the Absolute and at the same time are the result of the activity of an empirical subject. Every culture has its own subjective origin. It is the personality that is the «bridge» that connects culture and history. A model of the relationship between culture and history, in the views of L.P. Karsavin, is revealed: thesis (cultural tradition) – antithesis (destruction of tradition) – removal of antithesis (something new, as a result of creative processing of tradition). It is concluded that the correlation between culture and history is irrational, since the sequence and strength of changes in cultural forms largely depend on the individual.
