Vasiliy Karpov

(1798 - 1867). He graduated from the course at the Kiev Theological Academy, he taught philosophy in the theological academies of Kiev and St. Petersburg. Devoting a significant part of his life translating the works of Plato (St. Petersburg, 1841 and 1863 - 79), Karpov played with self-employment for the philosophy, holding aloof from prevailing in his time flows. Reason for philosophy, according to Karpov, gives consciousness. Situation: I am aware, as the truth first, immediately known, is in itself a clear and universal, must be the beginning of subjective philosophy. Philosophy considers the whole of existence as a harmonious whole in extrasensory or conceivable how it can be developed from the mind and expressed in the. All entering the field of consciousness is in the form and content, which can be reduced to unity, covered in man two worlds - the spiritual and the sensory. Spirit is infinite; organic nature, developed in man to the highest degree, of course. Spirit typical infinite knowledge, nature - the instinctive, the instinctive life. Spirit - the pure freedom, nature - the need for blind. Spirit is God, nature - His creation.

. Elements, joined in being human and through his connection gave himself the consciousness of being, made in its nature and the corresponding laws, which come in the internal communications amounted to a moral law. The more the mind brightened by faith, the greater was his energy, the stronger and more extensive develop his ideas.

The problem of Russian philosophy is to identify the place values and human relationships in the world, how man, by itself, always and everywhere the same, in the development of its type is characterized by true Russian life.
