Summary/Abstract: The article treats of Vysheslavtzev's theory of democracy. The importance of his philosophy consists in its bold merging of the slavophilic idea of sobornost’ with the theory and practice of Western democracy, which seems to be unique among Russian philosophers. The article deals with such issues as: the slavophilic origin of sobornost’, the relation between power and law, metaphysical and anthropological elements of the theory of democracy as well its philosophical and religious aspects.
