Sobornost
Sobornost ( rus, собо́рность, p=sɐˈbornəstʲ "spiritual community of many jointly-living people") is a Russian term whose usage is primarily attributed to the 19th-century Slavophile Russian writers Ivan Kireyevsky (1806–1856) and Aleksey Khomyakov (1804–1860). The term expresses the need for co-operation between people at the expense of individualism, on the basis that opposing groups focus on what is common between them. Khomyakov believed that the Western world was progressively losing its unity because it was embracing Aristotle and his defining individualism. Kireyevsky believed that G. W. F. Hegel and Aristotle represented the same ideal of unity. Khomyakov and Kireyevsky originally used the term ''sobor'' () to designate co-operation within the Russian ''obshchina'', united by a set of common convictions and Eastern Orthodox values, as opposed to the cult of individualism in the West. The term ''sobor'' in Russian has multiple co-related meanings: a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
