From imiaslavie to imiadejstvie. A.K. Gorsky, N.A. Setnitsky and V.N. Muravev as participants of the dispute over Name

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of A.K. Gorsky’s, N.A. Setnitsky’s and V.N. Muravoyv’s works in the context of both Russian philosophy of 1920–1930s and the question of imiaslavie. It is also emphasised that the problem of Name in the works of those philosophers is closely connected with the so-called philosophy of action as well as with the ideas concerning the active apocalypsism and justification of history. Imiaslavie in this work is presented as one of the variants of Russian Idea, the buttress of antropodicea, and the evidence of bogochelovhnost of Christianity. The question of Name is viewed as the problem of culture, religious meaning of creative work and economic activity while from the point of view of theology it is seen as a matter of unity between the Christian word and action, the doctrine and the
commandment.
