философия
English meaning: Philosophy
Definition
The rational inquiry into fundamental questions. Russian philosophy developed distinctive traditions — Slavophilism (glorifying Russia's unique spiritual path) vs. Westernizers (advocating European liberal reforms), the intelligentsia tradition, nihilism (Turgenev, Bakunin), and religious philosophy (Solovyov, Berdyaev). Marxism-Leninism shaped Soviet ideology and influenced global communist movements.
Example
“Русская философия разделилась на западников и славянофилов в XIX веке.”
In English: “Russian philosophy was divided between Westernizers and Slavophiles in the 19th century.”
Literary Heritage
“Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему.”
/Vse schastlivyye sem'i pokhozhi drug na druga, kazhdaya neschastlivaya sem'ya neschastliva po-svoyemu./
“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
