Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article analyzes the historiography of Russian philosophy as it appears in post-Soviet Russian university textbooks. How is a national tradition in philosophy – a discipline that otherwise operates with a universal truth-claim not bound by its cultural settings – created and defended in these texts? Particular emphasis is placed on their rejection of the alleged Eurocentrism of Western historiography, their dependence (nevertheless) on Western notions of philosophy, and their idea of Russian philosophy as "native philosophy" (otechestvennaia filosofiia) with an independent "integral history." The article concludes that this material presents us with an example of cultural nationalism in academic writing.

A Russian Thinker or a Thinker in Russia? : Some Tendencies in the Post-Soviet Reception of Nikolaj Berdjaev
- 2011
-
In: Scando-Slavica. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0080-6765 .- 1600-082X. ; 57:1, s. 25-47
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores the different ways in which the émigré philosopher Nikolaj Berdjaev has been read and responded to in post-Soviet Russia. It sets out to analyse how Russian scholars relate to the topic of Russian thought, i.e., the metaphilosophical notions that underlie their interpretations, and it discovers a wide range of approaches to Berdjaev's texts: affirmative, corrective, constructivist and dialogical. Behind this variety of interpretations, however, a particularly Russian background, whether of Berdjaev or of the interpreters themselves, has been repeatedly thematised, though currently younger scholars often seek to abandon the formerly prevailing emphasis on national identity in their interpretations. The article thus aims to deepen our understanding of post-Soviet academic and more specifically philosophical culture today.

Ein unik sivilisasjon : Russlandsførestellingar før og no
- 2012
-
In: Nytt Norsk Tidsskrift. - Oslo : Universitetsforlaget. - 0800-336X .- 1504-3053. ; :3, s. 237-247
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The article explores the so-called “civilizational nationalism” that is becoming increasingly popular in post-Soviet Russia, as seen most recently in an article Vladimir Putin published in January 2012. Here he adopts the rhetoric of “Russia as a unique civilization” that had previously been developed by Russian public intellectuals and academics. Having outlined the general features of this ideology, the article provides a more detailed discussion of one of the most significant theoreticians of this nationalism, Aleksandr Panarin. His views are compared, in turn, with those of Nikolai Danilevskii, the nineteenth-century writer who introduced “civilization” into Russian public discourse. Despite the many similarities, for instance a shared critique of Eurocentrism, it is demonstrated that nineteenth-century ideas of a Russian civilization differ significantly from the post-Soviet ones, above all in the former’s temporal orientation towards the future. Post-Soviet civilizational nationalism, in contrast, locates Russian civilization first and foremost in the past.
