Tatiana Barmashova
Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyze the problem of the unconscious in Russian philosophy in the refraction to the ideas of psychoanalysis. The realization of this goal involves the following tasks: the explication of psychoanalytic ideas in Russian philosophy; comparative analysis of psychoanalytic concepts used in psychoanalysis and in Russian philosophy; identification of distinctive features of the approach of Russian thinkers to the problem of the unconscious. The methodology used includes the following approaches and methods: dialectical, system, comparison, axiological. The main conclusions of the study are that Russian philosophy, in contrast to psychoanalysis, extrapolates the problem of the unconscious into the metaphysical plane of existence, assuming in this phenomenon a transcendent nature.
