History of Russian philosophy at Leningrad-Petersburg university

The article analyzes the features of the establishment of Russian philosophy as an academic discipline at Leningrad-Petersburg University. In this regard, the work deals with the methodological principles and guidelines for courses in the history of Russian philosophy by professors P. F. Nikandrov and A. A. Galaktionov, ideological and philosophical foundations of their study guides, and the novelty of their approach to studying Russian philosophy. It is emphasized that this stage of the study of Russian philosophy at the Leningrad University can be characterized as critical; it made it possible to study in detail the concepts of many previously unknown thinkers to the general reader. The article examines the specificity of teaching Russian philosophy at the Department of the History of Russian Philosophy chaired by professor Alexandr F. Zamaleev. The conceptual frameworks that formed the basis of the new educational research paradigm are revealed. They were based on a comprehensive analysis of Russian philosophy in the context of the development of Russian spiritual culture, which made it possible to identify certain theoretical features in Russian philosophy: anthropologism, moralism, historicism, epistemological realism, etc. Significant attention in the article is given to the analysis of the methodology for the course “Political Thought in Russia” at St. Petersburg University, its structure and basic methodological guidelines are determined. It is argued that teaching Russian political thought was based on taking into account the traditions of statehood and political consciousness that developed in Russian society. The conclusion is made that in the process of the formation of Russian philosophy as a scientific and academic discipline at Leningrad-Petersburg University, objective difficulties arose in rethinking the methodology of historical and philosophical science as well as developing a new paradigm of socio-humanitarian and philosophical knowledge.

For almost half a century, this collective monograph was the only scientific publication dedicated to the history of Kuzbass. However, accumulated new factual material, together with a significant expansion of the historiographical and source base, requires the preparation of a new monograph. The article states the urgency of the problem, features a source and historiography analysis, settles territorial and chronological framework. The author introduces modern methodological guidelines for the preparation of a new «History of Kuzbass». It should rely on a wide range of sources, its material must be set out precisely and specifically, its main object of study should be society and people; the analysis of previously closed issues (such as self-government, administrative division, activities of religious affiliations, relations between Russian and indigenous populations) should be made significant. Particular attention in the preparation of the new monograph should be given to the formation of the mentality and the conditions of life of the population residing in theterritory o fKuzbass.

International Thought

The relationship between political theory, including the history of political thought, and International Relations theory, including the history of international thought, has been, and to some extent remains, complex and troubled. On both sides of the Atlantic, the mid-twentieth century founders of International Relations as an academic discipline drew extensively on the canon of political thought, but approached the subject in an uncritical way, while political philosophers largely disdained the international as a focus. This changed in the 1970s and 1980s, with the emergence of the ‘justice industry’ based on critiques of Rawls’ A Theory of Justice and a consequent recovering of the past history of cosmopolitan and communitarian thought. A new discourse emerged in this period – International Political Theory – bridging the gap between political thought and international relations and stimulating a far more creative and scholarly approach to the history of international thought. However, in a social science environment dominated by the methods of economics, that is, formal theory and quantification, the new discourse of International Political Theory occupies a niche rather than existing at the centre of the discipline.

“Russia, Russia! Keep yourself, keep yourself!..” – these very lines of the epigraph, taken from the poem by N.M. Rubtsov, reveal the main idea of the book by S.V. Perevezentsev and A.A. Shirinyants “Essays on the History of the Russian Khranitel’stvo”. The monograph of the two professors of Moscow University, who are well-known experts in the field of the history of Russian socio-political thought, in a sense sums up the preliminary results of their scientific research of the recent years devoted to the development and justification of the concept of “Russian Khranitel’stvo”. According to the authors “Khranitel’stvo” played an important role in the formation of the “national ideological and political tradition”, which was reflected in the works of Russian thinkers and political figures of the 11th–19th centuries. Therefore, the ideas of the Russian Khraniteli, – supporters of the unity of the historical and spiritual-political principles of Russian society and the state, run through the entire book, as well as through the entire history of Russia.

Abstract. This contribution offers a historical survey of the views adopted by Romance scholars in methodological discussions tied up with dialectological work conducted between 1875 and 1925. Following an initial phase in which dialectology was strongly linked to folklore-based work and was mainly devoted to the collection of materials, the study of dialects gained a theoretical status within the historical-comparative model. Dialectology then became institutionalised as an academic discipline which developed in various theoretical directions, with Jules Gilliéron and Louis Gauchat as the two key representatives. Whereas Gilliéron favoured the semantic and psychological study of the history of words - to the neglect of the study of their phonetic evolution -, Gauchat stressed the primacy of phonetics, while paying due attention to sociolinguistic phenomena. The methodological principles on which dialectological work was based had a major impact on other domains within Romance linguistics. Walther von Wartburg, for example, integrated the results of dialectological work in his Romance etymological studies, and Antoine Meillet stressed the heuristic and methodological contribution of linguistic geography to historical and general linguistics.
