Vladimir Bibikhin 1938 – 2004
Vladimir Bibikhin (1938 – 2004) was a Russian philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Continental Philosophy and Phenomenology.
Vladimir Bibikhin was a Russian philosopher and translator, the most important interpreter of Heidegger in the Russian language, and a long-time professor at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. His Russian translation of Sein und Zeit, the result of decades of philosophical labor, is a landmark of post-Soviet philosophical culture, while his lecture courses, published posthumously in dozens of volumes including The World, The Property, and Wittgenstein, developed an austere and erudite philosophy of language, history, and Russian intellectual destiny. His friendship with Aleksei Losev shaped his recovery of the Russian metaphysical tradition for a generation of post-Soviet philosophers.
