Russian Neo-Kantianism

Focusing on the Russian neo-Kantian movement, this comprehensive study reveals its international significance beyond Germany. It traces the movement's origins in late 19th-century Imperial Russia and its evolution, particularly influenced by young philosophers returning from German universities. These individuals brought diverse interpretations of Kant's philosophy, leading to intense debates over philosophical approaches and Kant's legacy. Ultimately, the promising Western-oriented neo-Kantianism faced insurmountable challenges, contributing to its decline after the Bolshevik Revolution.
