Интеллектуальное наследие Даниила Михайловича Велланского в контексте современных проблем философии познания. К 250-летию мыслителя (материалы «круглого стола»)
In December 2024, the journal Voprosy Filosofii hosted an interdisciplinary “round table”, The Intellectual Legacy of Daniil Mikhailovich Vellansky in the Context of Contemporary Problems of the Philosophy of Knowledge, dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the birth of this outstanding Russian philosopher, scholar, medical practitioner, and translator of scientific literature. Russian philosophers and humanities scholars – epistemologists, historians of philosophy, historians of medicine, philologists – discussed source-critical and historiographical problems in studying Russian Schellingianism as a phenomenon of intellectual culture; highlighted the significance of D.M. Vellansky’s conceptual constructions for the development of the philosophy of medicine; identified the fundamental foundations of his organic theory; focused on the reception of his ideas in Russian philosophy and culture; and demonstrated his role as a scholar, teacher, and translator in disseminating philosophical and scientific knowledge in Russia. The participants also addressed the interdisciplinary character of his philosophical and scientific interests, as well as the problem of ‘human-sizedness’ dimensions in the philosophy of science, the origins of which can be traced to Vellansky’s fundamental reflections. Despite disciplinary and conceptual differences, those involved in the discussion agreed that Vellansky’s intellectual legacy, like Russian philosophy of the 19th century as a whole, requires today a problem-oriented reinterpretation and a revitalization of fundamental historical-philosophical research aimed at expanding our understanding of the epistemological style of Russian intellectual culture.
