S. N. BULGAKOV: THE RUSSIAN WAY IN ECONOMY

Abstract

The article discusses the place of S.N. Bulgakov in global economic history as a thinker, who indicated the way of conciliation of socialism and liberalism through philosophic comprehension of economic process. The authors show how Bulgakov came to the conclusion that philosophy of economy is not just a sector of philosophy but a new version of the integrated philosophic system with its own ontology, epistemology, anthropology and cosmology. Thinkers of different periods managed to find their 'doors' through which they got inside the endless and mysterious world of being. Economy was a 'door' for Bulgakov. Findings of the research allow us to look at today's problems from a different point of view.
