GNOSEOLOGICAL ISSUES IN RUSSIAN PHILOSOPHY. NIKOLAJ O. LOSSKIJ AND SEMJON L. FRANK AS INTUITIVISTS

Summary/Abstract: Connoisseurs of Russian philosophers agree that a very close bond between religion and philosophy is frequent in their works, especially when it comes to gnoseological issues. Authors in this field are trying to discover new ways to justify and bring these two phenomena closer, mainly for the reason that all of them are related to the spiritual experience of God. Hereby we present two attempts that within the phenomenon of cognition can be qualified as a study of intuition seen as a method of valid cognition. Radical tendency of this philosophy is to grasp beyond the scientific, into the intuitive conception that is most closely connected to religious mystique. In his works created during his long life Nikolaj O. Losskij examined different forms of a possible intuition: one sensitive, intellectual, and the other mystical, with metaphysical roots in the organic unity of the world and the immanence of everything in all there is. The real cognition of God can be grasped only by means of mystical intuition. Semjon L. Frank bases his intuition on a trans-rational perception of the wholeness of the world and finally on unanimity.
