Теоретическое наследие ленинградско-петербургской философии

Abstract

The analysis of the theoretical heritage of philosophical science in Leningrad / St. Petersburg appears relevant for a better understanding of the characteristics of how philosophy was formed and shaped in Russia. There were various philosophical schools and trends (philoso­phy of science and culture, social philosophy and history of philosophy) in the city, which had a signi­ficant impact on the national philosophical science. Of crucial value is the concrete analysis of institutional and socio-cultural aspects of the development of philosophical culture in St. Petersburg, as well as the study of the most important results of the philosophers who worked in Leningrad/St. Petersburg, the forms and methods of how they mastered the world’s philosophical thought – thereby significantly expanding the understanding of the theoretical and axiological features of Russian philosophy and culture.
 The paper primarily focuses on the philosophy of science and culture in Leningrad/St. Petersburg in the latter half of the 20th and early 21st centuries, as these philosophical subjects were the ones that caused the significant transformation of philosophical knowledge from dogmatic Marxism to a multitude of different philosophical products. The authors analyse the ideas of members of the Leningrad school of philosophy of science: Vladimir Svidersky, Vladimir Bransky, Vasily Tugarinov, and Victor Stoff; these figures, through the synthesis of scientific and philosophical concepts relevant in Europe of the 20th century and the original interpretation of Marxism, produced solutions to other philosophical problems, thus initiating the emergence of new philosophical subjects. Also, the authors study how philosophy of culture was developing in St. Petersburg, as represented in the studies of: Moisey Kagan, Yury Solonin, Evgeny Sokolov, Valery Savchuk, Andrey Demichev, Elmar Sokolov, Vyacheslav Sukhachyov; as well as the establishment and development of the history of Russian philosophy through the works of Anatoly Galaktionov, Pyotr Nikandrov, Alexander Zamaleev.
