40-й выпуск «Вестника СФИ» открывается разделом Теологические исследования и статьей Софьи Андросенко, в которой рассматривается категория соборности в трудах Николая Бердяева в контексте его антропологических и экклезиологических воззрений.
Раздел Пастырское богословие представлен статьей Дмитрия Гасака, посвященной принципам пастырского служения основателя Крестовоздвиженского трудового братства Николая Неплюева (1851–1908), опыт которого свидетельствует, что пастырство как служение церковного собирания не является исключительной принадлежностью иерархического священства.
Раздел Литургика и сакраментология начинается интервью со священником Георгием Кочетковым, Павлом Мейендорфом, Викторией де Хан, Зоей Дашевской, Виктором Александровым, посвященным вкладу в христианское богословие протопр. Александра Шмемана, столетие со дня рождения которого отмечалось в сентябре 2021 года. В статье священника Эдварда Фарруджи исследуются основные вехи жизненного пути и научного становления выдающегося литургиста XX века архимандрита Роберта Фрэнсиса Тафта.
Раздел Патристика представлен статьей Софьи Фомичевой, в которой анализируется малоизученная сторона проповеднической деятельности сирийского поэта-богослова преподобного Ефрема Сирина — острая критика его собственной христианской общины, сочетающаяся в мемре «О Ниневии и Ионе» с антииудейской полемикой.
Раздел Религиозная философия включает статью Виктора Грановского, которая посвящена обзору критических взглядов Сергея Булгакова на основные концепции германского идеализма.
В разделе История Церкви публикуются два документа. Первый представляет собой открытое письмо Ивана Николаевича Колоскова, одного из лидеров трезвеннического движения в России, следователю ВЧК Ивану Анатольевичу Шпицбергу, характеризующее отношения между советской властью и религиозными движениями, не входившими в состав Русской православной церкви. Второй документ — это фрагмент письма Ральфа Холлингера к В. Бантону, в котором содержится отчет о I Пшеровском съезде, вошедшем в историю русской эмиграции под именем «Пшеровской пятидесятницы», положившей начало Русскому студенческому христианскому движению (РСХД).

The article considers the first experience of interpretation and criticism of the Kantian doctrine of knowledge on the part of neo-scholastic thinkers in 1st half of the 19th century. It is shown that the transition from confessional polemics, which hadn’t philosophical in­terpretation, to the presentation and analysis of Kantian epistemology in Cesare Baldinotti’s treatise “Tentaminum metaphysicorum” (1817), when scholar takes an under­standing of Kantianism as radical skepticism. At the same time, he left unanswered ques­tions about what type of traditional concepts Kantianism refers, and how it can be de­scribed in the language of scholasticism. The first problem was solved by the Italian thinker Gaetano Sanseverino, who tried to correlate Kantianism with models traditionally opposed to scholasticism (like averroism). The second problem was solved by Jaime Balmes and Joseph Kleutgen, who outlined the boundaries of the compromise between scholasticism and Kantianism, trying to des...

This article describes the problem of the possibility of natural theology, as it was understood in the discussion between Catholics and Protestants at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The topic is relevant because on the one hand, the category theologia naturalis by this time accumulated a lot of theological and philosophical values, and it is for some traditions a system-forming category that identifies the relation of certain concepts of early modern science. On the other hand, it formed a point around which arguments for and against fundamental decisions were built in the field of ontology, epistemology, anthropology, etc. Thus, the problem of natural theology, its possibilities, composition, and connection with the theology of Revelation (theologia revelata) is a fundamental factor in the development of confessional thought in the early modern period. In studying this problem, emphasis is placed on the ways to conceptualize the idea of natural theology, since this factor...

The Article is devoted to the Representative of the Early Neo-Scholasticism, Span­ish Thinker Jaume Balmes. The Focus of Attention is the Interpretation of the Kan­tian Doctrine of Knowledge, which Balmes proposed in the Fourth Book of his “Filosofia Fundamental”(1846). It is shown that contrary to the generally negative attitude towards Kant and the Philosophy of Criticism that prevailed by the 1830s in Catholic Intellectual Culture, Balmes not only seriously studies and evaluates the Results of Kantian Criticism, but also he finds many points of contact between Criticism and Scholasticism, for which he undertakes a large-scale rewriting of the Kantian Theory of Knowledge in Terms of Scholasticism. At the same time, he of­fers Criticism of Kantian philosophy based on the Resources of the Scholastic Tra­dition, which allows integrating the Transcendental Analysis of Cognition devel­oped by Kant into the Methods of Scholastic Philosophy. Balmes sought to restore the Possibility of Me...

The author analyzes the rise of the theory of knowledge in the Catholic intellectual culture of the period between 1840s and 1920s. This period can be divided into two stages of comparable significance: the stage of the Neo-Scholasticism (1840‒1870) and the stage of a proper Neo-Thomism (1870‒1920). It is further possible to distinguish three forms in the development of these stages, which are examined from an epistemological perspective. The first form of epistemology, characteristic of the 1840s-1870s, and associated with the names of G. Sanseverino, M. Liberatore, J. Balmes, J. Kleutgen, is characterized by a traditional scholastic model of understanding as unity of the three intellectual operations. However, this model is complicated by a differentiated analysis of individual functions and moments of understanding, associated with Wolffianism. The next form of epistemology was formed in 1880s-1910s and was characterized by an attempt to return “back to Aquinas”, as well as by the formation of the Neo-Thomism, enshrined in the “24 Thomistic theses”. In the doctrine of cardinal D. Mercier, the realistic epistemology of Acquinas came into contact with modern philosophy and psychology. The third stage was associated with J. Marechal and his predecessors (1910‒1920), who proposed a new understanding of the theory of knowledge. This new approach inherited the Kantian view of cognition but proposed a revision of the critical method itself (in the writings of J. Marechal’s). The critical method underwent a reconstruction on the basis of the doctrine of the four causes of Aristotle and Aquinas.

This article analyses the development of anthropological problems in Martin Luther’s theology, revealing the transformation of this topic in its later period. The main source of  the  study  is  Luther’s  treatise  "Disputatio  de  homine"  (1536).  Since  anthropological  problems are not represented as a special part in Luther’s doctrine but are included in the context of multifaceted theological quests, we propose a model for reconstructing Luther’s  ideas  concerning  the  human  nature  on  the  basis  of  various  accents  that  he  made in diff erent periods of his life. In particular, the “early” Luther (1510–1525) asserts  the  impossibility  to  determine  the  nature  of  man  because  its  radical  destruction  by  sin.  Salvation  is  carried  out  as  a  change  of  this  sinful  nature,  “birth  from  above”,  liberating  man  from  “slavery  to  the  world”  (main  theme  of  the  treatise  "De libertate christiana"),  and  changes  the  willfulness  into  an  instrument  of  understanding  the  will  of God ("De servo arbitrio"). Later on, the “late” Luther (the 1530s) changes the approach  to  interpreting  anthropological  problems  without  abandoning  the  his  ideas  expressed  earlier:  he  acknowledges  the  possibility  of  comprehending  human  nature,  connects  the  history  of  creation  and  the  history  of  salvation  in  the  concept  of  tota creaturа, and through this connection between creation and the Creator he approaches the  interpretation  of  the  problem  of  predestination  (individual,  rather  than  generic).  This circumstance allows us to consider the late period of Luther’s life, which usually overlooked, as an important stage in the development of his doctrine.

The article considers ne of the most Important Sources that influenced the Development of Neo-Thomism: «Twenty-four Thomist theses», promulgated on July 27, 1914, and became the Doctrinal Foundation of the Intellectual Culture of the Catholic Church until the Period of «Aggiornamento». The General Historical Conditions for the appearance of this Document are revealed, that caused its Publication. It is determined that the Version of Thomism that was presented in these Theses was more Stringent than the Tomism of Neo-Scholastics of the 18th –19th Centuries, the was formed of which was influenced by Other Trends of Medieval and Post-Medieval Thought. A General Overview of the Theses is proposed, and the Systematic Consctrustion of the Theses is emphasized, connected with the Design of Philosophy that was Characteristic to Neo-Scholasticism and included such Parts as Ontology, Cosmology, Psychology and Natural Theology. Some Features of the Theses are shown, in particular, their Sharpness against the Materialistic and Cartesian Understanding of Matter, an Axiomatic Affirmation about the Essential Independence of Thinking from Corporeality. The Article gives a Russian Translation of Twenty-Four Thomist Theses, and Commentary showing some Specific Features of the Content of this Text.

The aim of the present article is to examine the circumstances which led to the appearance of the Index to Francisco Suárez’s treatise Metaphysical disputations. Far from being simply a reference supplement to the treatise, the Index is an exegetical instrument in its own right and no doubt bears mark of Suarez’s attitude toward Aristotle and the commentating tradition to which he himself also belongs. In the work of commentators of Aristotle’s writings, the emergence of the genre of index and its specific functions was gradual. The indices
compiled by Averroist scholars like Marcantonio Zimara and Giulio Palamede were designed as a proof of semantic and terminological unity between Aristotle’s original and his Arab commentators; such indices were often intended as a weapon against the humanists who professed to follow the ‘genuine’ Aristotle and denied the authority of the scholastic exegesis. A good example of a different kind of reference work is Index locupletissimus by Francisco Ruiz, which takes advantage of both the scholastic and the humanist studies of Aristotle and represents a step forward from a committed commentary toward the higher criticism of texts. Suárez’s Index can thus be regarded as a product of the process of reappraisal of the corpus Aristotelicum which took place in 16th century and presented what may be called an ‘endurance test’ for the scholastic interpretation. It embodies the experience of systematic thinking that goes beyond the unconditional appeal to authority. Seeing as metaphysics, from the viewpoint of the tradition to which Suárez belongs, incorporates nearly the entire contents of philosophy, it will hardly be an exaggeration to say that Aristotle’s text, which is the foundation of the Jesuit philosopher’s work, becomes itself a part of reality and subject to metaphysical interpretation.

In the article the «idea of university» in Russia considered. Scientific and educational ideals in the 18th century was reflected in the creation of the Academy of Sciences and the Academic University. The understanding of the organization of the scientific community and its tasks, as documented in Laurentius Blumenstrost’s Project (1724), reflected both the real situation in the European «République des Lettres» and the difficulties in development of the Academy and University. «Hybrid» structure combined both the Academy of Sciences and the University, with the of expert and educational functions, at the same time the name of the Academy was given to legitimize it. At the same time, this structure did not have the opportunity to appropriate academic degrees, which deprived it of its usefulness in the eyes of the participants of this institution. Efforts of Lomonosov in the 1760’s directed to public legitimization of the Academic University, in accordance with his understanding of the significance of this structure.

The paper proposed an model of the phenomenon of Protestant Scholasticism, based on the description of the scholastic method of systematization. Proceeding from the thesis that the scholastic is (primarily) a systematic knowledge, indicate characteristics of this phenomenon, and the most important thinkers and their writings, and contribution to the development of the scientific systematization, which
understood as a method of formation of the internal unity of the construction in various level and content. For Medieval and Post-Medieval Catholic scholasticism this principle was Corpus Aristotelicum, which basis evolved philosophical «courses» of the Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits and other religious thinkers. This way shaped method of intertextual reconstruction of order tradition. The Protestant scholasticism in the following Corpus Aristotelicum was taboo (Luther, Calvin almost completely denied the positive signifi cance of Aristotle), bringing Protestants faced with the problem of the formation of new principles of systematization. Orthodox Lutherans and Calvinists thought initially off ered a way to organize system of knowledge, well founded key theological principles (authority of Scripture, distinguish on God and the world, etc.). From these principles came Amand Polanus Nikolas Taurellus, Klemens Timpler. On the other hand, it took the form of an attempt to create a systematization that would give space for problems, it doesn’t directly follow from the confessional dogmatic. These efforts have made Rudolph Goclenius, developed a form of philosophical vocabulary and the philosophical principle of antinomy, and Balthasar Meissner, who created a kind of «meccano» that allows you to reconstruct both the theological and philosophical discourse than has significantly expanded the content of Protestant scholasticism. These facts allow to consider the Protestant scholasticism as a specific intellectual culture, reflecting the major tendencies of the Early Modern.

Article devote the problem of so-called «Late Averroism» associated with the doctrine of Averroes —  Arab interpreter of Aristotle. After defeat Averroists in 1277 and ban of their group at the Faculty of Arts in Sorbonne, members of this movement have lost their place in  the  institutional  structure  of  the  medieval  intellectual  community.  However,  Averroists 
were able to find a new niche, relying on a variety of Averroes’ heritage, related to medicine, just in the midst of a pandemic in the middle of the XIV cent. They are well positioned in the world of late medieval scholasticism, and later opposed the humanists have questioned the authenticity of the Latin scholastics. Fall of Averroism initiated by physicians-platonists, refused the authority of Averroes, but in the twilight of his era, they created some new forms of representation of the philosophy that influenced the Early Modern.

It is demonstrated that both concepts emerged as a reaction to the crisis of the University of the Early Modernity. Alongside with harsh criticism of the contemporary educational model, these thinkers' offered the alternative that did not correspond to the real vector of scientific development in the 18 th – 19 th centuries.

Реформация начиналась как восстание против средневековых форм культуры, прежде всего, в богословии, где господствовал схоластический рационализм. Лютером и другими реформаторами были отвергнуты как главный конструктивный инструмент теологического дискурса, ставивший ее (теологию) в ряду других наук – силлогистика, так и связанная с ней философия. Однако, с развитием протестантской теологии, силлогистика была оправдана, а философия восстановлена в своих правах.

theology, where scholastic rationalism dominated. Luther and others reformers reject
a main constructive tool of theological discourse – syllogistic logic, and scholastic
philosophy, related with it. But in development of protestant theology, syllogistic logic
and philosophy was restaurated (in Piscator’s and Polanus’ Biblical Comments).
