Social Ideal and its Implementation in the Philosophy of S. L. Frank.

The paper examines the social philosophy of a prominent Russian thinker, Semen Frank with the aim of identifying its relations with general philosophical ideas, as well as with religious foundations of his thought. For these purposes, authors examine the basic concepts of Frank's social philosophy in their interaction and connection. Based on the research, authors conclude that Frank built his social theory on the basis of the philosophy all-unity that gives primacy to the spiritual aspects of the social body over the material and empirical ones. The basic social concepts he develops are related with the two fundamental modes of the reality - ideal and empirical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
