Social philosophy of Eurasians and peculiarities of Eurasian identity formation

The article analyzes Eurasianism as an ideological trend and as a socio-philosophical tradition, as well as the role played by the Eurasian worldview in the formation of Eurasian philosophy. The interrelation of the ideas of the Eurasians with Russian cosmism, especially with the creativity of those of its representatives, which belongs to the ХХ century, is subjected to a separate consideration. The authors of the first book of the collection “Exodus to the East” analyze the specific features of the understanding of religiosity and nationalism. The review takes place against the background of the analysis of the thesis about the opposition of Eurasianism to the main trends of modern science and the rejection by Eurasians of the materialistic worldview. The concepts of the first generation of Eurasians, the theoretical and philosophical constructions of Russian cosmists and the doctrine of the ethnos of L.N. Gumilev are consistently analyzed. The evaluation of the teaching of the Eurasians as compatible with the main directions of modern science and tolerant to the theoretical and methodological attitudes of materialists is substantiated.
