За Оградой Славянофильства: Николай Данилевский – Шпенглерианец… Картезианец…

Abstract

SUMMARY: The author surveys recent interpretations of the heritage of Nicholas Danilevsky and places them in the context of Danilevsky scholarship in Russia and abroad. The article explores Danilevsky’s thought in terms of its alleged affiliations with cultural relativism and anti-universalism, usually associated with the name of Oswald Spengler (whose ideas Danilevsky reportedly influenced) and in terms of positivist interpretations. Martyniuk also explores the revival and re-discovery of Danilevsky in post-Soviet scholarship and ideology, in particular (and exemplary) in Crimea, where the political situation made the re-appearance of Danilevsky specifically acute. Danilevsky and geopolitics is another subject of the article.
