metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the role and place of faith in the concept of Vladimir Solovyov who is
  considered to be the creator of the first Russian philosophical system. The purpose of the article is to determine the epistemological and methodological significance of faith in Solovyov’s
  understanding as a special factor of cognition. In order to study this problem, a synthetic
  method of reconstruction of the thought of Solovyov as well as a method of philosophical
  analysis was used. First, Solovyov’s project of integral knowledge or free theosophy is presented, i. e. synthesis of philosophy, theology, and science. The suppositions of this concept
  are revealed and its polemical context is indicated, namely, Solovyov’s attempt to overcome
  the abstract or one-sided principles: reason, empirical experience, and faith in order to create
  an integral system that should unite all types of knowledge. In addition, philosophy as such
  corresponds to reason, science to experience, and theology to faith. The second part of the
  article is devoted to the epistemological aspects of faith in the concept of integral knowledge.
  It lies in the fact that each act of cognition begins with the assertion of the objective existence
  of its object, which Solovyov describes as faith in a broad sense of the word. Thus, faith has
  a universal significance as a necessary condition for the cognitive process. The third part of
  the article discusses the methodological aspect of faith as a key link in the system of integral
  knowledge. As a result, faith has a dominant role not only in theology, but in all spheres of
  knowledge, including philosophy and science. Thus, it is possible to conclude that there is no
  conflict between faith and reason; on the contrary, they complement each other. Solovyov’s
  position is still relevant nowadays.
