Trivia Graduated from the natural-mathematical faculty of the Kiev Zap, then studied at the Faculty of Philology. Prof.. Kiev Zap / c 1915 /. In 1918 - Minister of culture and faith in the government of Hetman Skoropadsky. From 1919 - immigrant, worked in Belgrade, Prague, Paris. In 1942 received the rank of priesthood. From the concept of unity Vl. Solovyov was to build a metaphysics of man and the intuitional. Developed the concept of psycho-physical interaction.

Characteristic views of fundamental importance for psychology Zenkovsky sees, as do most modern psychologists, the difference between the act and content of the soul. (Radlov E.L. Essays on the History of Russian Philosophy / Vvedensky AI, Losev, AF, EL Radlov, Spцєth GG: Essays on the History of Russian Philosophy. Sverdlovsk, 1991. S. 171).

Teaching 'If a person depends on the nature of the social environment, yet it is indisputable fact of freedom. But the acts of freedom, rooted in the metaphysical depths of man, get their creative power only when combined with the help of grace 'over' - without it they are powerless and almost always give people the power of evil. Only use the theological concept of 'original sin', we can understand both the existence of freedom in man and its limited. Since being adopted, the concept of original sin inevitably led me to revise the basic principles of metaphysics, epistemology, and then. Without the concept of original sin can not understand the dichotomy of cognitive strength in man (split mind and heart). Teaching of the Church Fathers of the need to restore the lost unity of the human spirit through the Church has led me to review all the philosophical theories in the light of Christianity, . and I can only give one name of my views: 'the experience of Christian philosophy' (Zenkovsky VV,
. History of Russian Philosophy. L., 1991, t. II, h. 2. S. 251).
