Solovyev's idea of "integral knowledge" and Scheler's "system of conformity"

Helmut Dahm

pp. 22-27

Abstract

"Knowledge in its unity is theosophy."1 We would like to explain this sentence now. "Free theosophy or integral knowledge … must represent the highest condition of the whole of philosophy."2 As such, theosophy constitutes the heart of Solovyev's idea of a cultural, epistemological and historical macrocosm obtained meta-anthropologically on the basis of the facticity of man. "The nature of man as such exhibits three fundamental forms of being (Sein): feeling, thought and the active will. Each of these has two aspects — one exclusively personal, the other social."3
