Publication Title:
The relevance of V.S. Solovyov's philosophical legacy: a view from Spain
Abstract:
A brief analysis of V.S. Solovyov's legacy research in Spain is presented. There has been an increased interest in his philosophical works over the past two decades, which is reflected in the publications of monographs, dissertations, translations of the philosopher's writings into Spanish. The problems of “post-truth”, transhumanist and posthumanist movements are investigated. The concepts of the philosophy of posthumanism related to the legacy of F. Nietzsche and the understanding of man in the philosophy of V.S. Solovyov are compared. The points of contact of these concepts and their significant differences are noted. The article substantiates the position that V.S. Solovyov's teaching about truth and complete knowledge is a convincing alternative to the concepts of “post-truth”. It is argued that Solovyov's philosophy can serve as a source of understanding ways to solve modern philosophical problems.
