恰达耶夫思想概观

有论者称恰达耶夫是俄国的第一位民族哲学家。就恰达耶夫的思想体系而言,他对俄国的批判并非其学说的主要内容。然而,其尖锐的批判思想却广为人知,流传深远。他用文化的成就来衡量基督教的力量,这是理解他激烈批判俄国的关键之处。恰达耶夫和他所处的时代合拍,这就是俄国激进主义的精神定势。我们在赞赏他的批判精神的同时,需要了解他的宗教哲学思想,从而理解一些俄罗斯民族的心智特点。

Review of Chaadayev's Thinking

Some people said that Chaadayev was a national philosopher. In view of his system of thought,his criticism of Russia is not the main contents of his doctrine. However,his sharp critical thought is well known in the world. He used the cultural achievements to measure the power of Christianity. This is a key point for understanding his criticism. While admirating his critical spirit,we have to understand his religious philosophy,hence understanding the mental characteristics of Russian nation.
