| Summary: | S. L. Frank (1877–1950), "the greatest Russian philosopher" according to V. Zenkovskij, in the beginning of his philosophical career was impressed by W. James' "radical empirism" and then strongly influenced by F. D. Schleiermacher's concept of "feeling" as the root of perception. This feeling precedes the distinction of subject and object. In our religious feeling we have an immediate (not mediated) knowledge of the religious object. Franks central idea of "living knowledge" ("knowledge-life") – influenced by Schleiermacher – allowes him to develop his ontology: We know "reality" through "living knowledge" in the same way as we know our own existence. This concept permits Frank to answer the question how we know or have the reality of the Divine: We never have it through an objective knowledge, but through living knowledge. Finally the article discusses the problem of pantheism in Frank's philosophy of religion. |
