The Slavophile Contribution

Chapter 5 considers the thought of the Slavophiles, such as Ivan Kireevsky and Alexei Khomyakov, who supported the natural and exact sciences. They criticized the Western model of the relationship between science and religion because of secularization on the one hand and the allegeable limitation of scientific investigation on the other. By contrast, Orthodoxy was perceived by the Slavophiles—too enthusiastically and inaccurately—as a place of non-conflicting coexistence of faith and science. They proposed the concept of the so-called integral life and integral knowledge. This chapter discusses the universal epistemological significance of faith which, according to the Slavophiles, is necessary also for scientific investigation.
