Schelling, Kireevsky, German philosophy, Europe, mythologisationAbstract
The author of the article aims to prove the thesis that it was the " lyubomudry" who were the first to formulate the Russia-Europe opposition at the categorical, historiosophical level, which is still fundamental to understanding Russian identification. The author notes that the desire to separate from the European past is turning into a clear trend, the reasons for which lie not only in the realm of ideology (we are not Europe, so there can be no parallels), but also in the realm of mass consciousness, brought up on the legendary history of Russia and marked by excessive xenophobia. The «West» is understood as the mythology of the West, and mythologisation is the ground on which the currents of Russian thought unite and is an integral feature of the "Russian idea", i.e. the attempt to civilise Russians. The lyubomudry succeeded in instilling German philosophy in Russian thought.
