Ivan Kireevsky 1806 – 1856
Ivan Kireevsky (1806 – 1856) was a Russian philosopher of the Modern era, associated with Continental Philosophy and Christian Philosophy.
Ivan Vasilyevich Kireevsky was a Russian philosopher and literary critic and, with Alexei Khomyakov, one of the founding figures of the Slavophile movement. After early work as the editor of the journal The European, banned by the imperial censorship after a single issue, he developed in his On the Necessity and Possibility of New Principles in Philosophy a sustained Christian-philosophical critique of Western rationalism on the grounds that it has divided what Eastern Christianity holds together. His ideal of the wholeness of the spirit, in which reason, will, and feeling cooperate in living knowledge, shaped Russian religious philosophy from Solovyov onward.
