MONOGRAPHS


  • Thomism, Albertism and Augustinianism in the Intellectual and Spiritual Culture of the Rhineland Region in 14th–15th Centuries. Moscow: Publishing House of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, 2007. – 266 pages. (in Russian)
In the light of the new, previously little-known, or unpublished sources, this monograph investigates the influence of Thomism, Albertism, and Augustinianism on the formation of intellectual and spiritual culture of the Rhine region in the 14th and 15th centuries. Main models of the interference of these major philosophical and theological schools during the Later Middle Ages are considered on the examples of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260 – c. 1328), anonymous German treatises and unpublished manuscript collections from the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as of philosophy of Heymericus de Campo (1395–1460) and Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464).
  • Meister Eckhart: An Introduction to Philosophy of Great Rhineland Mystic. Moscow: Nauka, 2003. – 278 pages. – Hardcover (in Russian)
The research presented by this book is aimed to introduce to philosophy of great German mystic Meister Eckhart (c. 1260 – c. 1328). Meister Eckhart is one of the most important thinkers of the Later Middle Ages and a key figure of medieval mysticism. Adopting both textual and biographical approach, the book shows how Eckhart both lived his religious and intellectual life and wrote about it. This study places Eckhart in the context of his age, when the developments of mendicant orders, new types of thinking, and scholastic discussions at the universities shaped his external world and at the same time affected his intellectual life and his mode of thinking.

This article focuses on the study of discussions on mystical theology in the 15th century in Erfurt that influenced the formation of a specific Erfurt theological constellation in which Martin Luther's theology was formed. The first stage of these discussions was related to Nicholas of Cusa visiting Erfurt in the year 1451 and meeting the Erfurt Carthusians Jacob de Paradiso and John de Indagine, accompanied by work on texts in which questions of mystical theology were discussed. At the end of the 15th century, the Erfurt Carthusians also discussed the position of the Erfurt Augustinian eremite John of Paltz, who treated negatively the affectivity as well as the intellectuality of religious and, in particular, mystical experience. A very closely related Augustinian position was further represented by John of Staupitz who speaks in his sermons about affect as a neglect of will and by Martin Luther.

Exploring the anonymous “teachings” contained in the Ms. Leiden UB Ltk 222 this paper examines the phenomenon of parallelism and variation of metaphors in the German and Dutch spiritual texts of the Late Middle Ages. In particular, it shows that metaphors of rose and May dew which can be found in one of these “teachings” go back to the relevant passages of Henry Suso. But still they both together were influenced by the parallel metaphor of a horse running through wasteland which goes back to one of the sermons of Meister Eckhart.

This essayistic letter examines the actual situation of philosophy in Russia. From the quantitative point of view it seems as if we can be optimistic: Russia’s stock of philosophers and philosophical faculties, departments and institutes is one of the largest in the world. But from the other qualitative point of view, the whole situation is more complicated. First of all, the institutional and moral legacy of ideologically colored Soviet philosophy has not been wholly overcome in theory, teaching practice, selection and training of a new staff. Second, new problems have arisen which are caused by the desire to preserve at all costs the old patterns of behavior and thinking in any external and internal modification of ideas and institutions. As a consequence, philosophy ceases to produce new ideas. Philosophical books and journals cease to be of interest not only to the general public, but also to the philosophers. Non-professionals and students who have not lost their interest in philosophy have to look for ideas in other fields of knowledge, sometimes far removed from academia. And “professional” philosophers have turned their occupation into a boring routine which is left with no choice but to protect the incompetence of its adherents using aggressive methods of institutional bureaucracy and intellectual intolerance.
