Henri Bergson and Edmund Husserl in Nikolay Lossky's philosophical system

The article is devoted to the historical and philosophical reconstruction of H. Bergson and E. Husserl’s reception in N.O. Lossky’s philosophical system. The role of these ideas in Lossky’s epistemology is shown (the main expression of which was his work “Justification of Intuitivism”, 1906). The author also shows which role these ideas played in the formation of his ontological concept (“The World as an Organic Whole”, 1917). The evolution of Lossky’s perception of Bergson and Husserl’s ideas in the pre-Revolutionary period and during the emigration is demonstrated. The analysis of the responses given by Lossky’s contemporaries to the reception of the ideas of Bergson and Husserl in his work (Sergey Alekseev (Askoldov), Sergey Hessen, Sergey Golovanenko, Boris Vysheslavtsev, etc.) is given. The historical and theoretical context of Lossky’s special works concerning this reception is investigated (“Intuitive Philosophy of Bergson”, 1914; “Transcendental-Phenomenological Idealism of Husserl”, 1939; etc.). It is concluded that initially the phenomenological doctrine was closer to Lossky’s metaphysics, while Bergson’s ideas were perceived by him in a more critical way. At the same time, in his later work Lossky became disillusioned with the ideas of Husserl, completely focusing on his own personalistic doctrine. The development of Lossky’s reception of Husserl and Bergson’s ideas in the concepts of his successors, in particular, Sergey Levitsky, is shown.
