NEOKANTYZM FIODORA STIEPUNA
FYODOR STEPUN’S NEO-KANTIAN PHILOSOPHY

Summary/Abstract: In this article I attempt to analyse Fyodor Stepun’s philosophical essay Life and Creative Activity. This treatise is in fact the thinker’s only strictly philosophical work. In his works the Russian philosopher frequently stressed the role and importance of Immanuel Kant in the development of philosophy, yet he suggested the necessity of going beyond the limits of critical philosophy. As the author intended, the essay Life and Creative Activity was the first attempt to sketch a philosophical system, which would attempt to defend and justify the idea of religious philosophy on the grounds of critical philosophy. In my article I try to describe Stepun’s philosophical idea (the philosophy of absolute) which is based on the analysis of the concept of mystical experience, whose two poles are: life (experiencing unity) and creative work (experiencing multiplicity).
