Plato in Russia is more than Plato (Review of the monograph by Karabushchenko P. L., Podvoisky L. Ya. The Origins and Meaning of Russian Platonism. Moscow: KDU, 2025, 257 p.)

Annotation

This monograph is devoted to the history of Platonism in Russian philosophy from the 21th to the 20st century. It offers a sufficiently broad historical overview of the key stages in Russian philosophy, highlighting how the legacy of the great ancient thinker influenced the formation of various philosophical schools and trends. The study examines how Plato’s philosophy is represented in Russian historiography, including dissertation research, as well as Russian pedagogy, psychology, sociology, political science, and other disciplines. It also explores what Russian Platonism of the 21st century might look like in the era of globalization, informatization, and nanotechnology. Moreover, within a broad cultural context, the work demonstrates the impact of scientific and philosophical thought on the development of society and the individual – both globally and specifically in Russia.
