Solovyov and Kierkegaard (PНILOSOPHICA. Nitra 2013. PP. 173 – 182) English

The article touches with the approaches of V. Solovyov and S. Kierkegaard to the problem of unity of the acts of freedom and existence and represents the figures of both Russian and Danish philosophers as creators of new synthesis of reason and faith, which is reveled in «journey to the edge of human possibilities» (G. Bataille). The correlation between two modes of existentential freedom: V. Solovyov's «free theurgy» and Kierkegaard's «Christian heroism» is the plot of the comparative analysis. Preliminary conclusion of the analysis is that: both Solovyov and Kierkegaard leaned on their native theological tradition, on Orthodoxy and Lutheranism respectively, but were in searching for «God behind God» (P. Tillich) and created the project of Faith for the future.
