Françoise Lesourd, A new expression of the Russian national idea : Dmitrii Likhachev.
This article situates the work of D.S. Likhachev within the tradition of philosophers such as Berdiaev, Karsavin and Losskii. The conception of a possible return to a "society of the sacred", formulated by Berdiaev, inspired Likhachev's study dealing with the historical evolution of Russian culture, defined as an "irresistible advance" toward individualization and pluralistic systems of value. He goes on to demonstrate with, as a starting point, the distinction drawn by Karsavin between two great types of religiosity (collective and individual) that a collectivist tendency - such as the "sobornost"' - is not the dominating element in the formation of religious sensibility in Russia. Contesting the fear of Berdiaev with regard to "atomization" of modern society, Likhachev asserts that the "organicheskoe tseloe" (Losskii's expression) represented by every national culture, serves to preserve the connection of the individual with his "vital environment" and generates liberty as well as the necessary features of artistic creation. Developed on basis of anti-slavophile positions, Likhachev's defence of ancient Russian culture and re-examination of Peter's period bring new data into the debate on the Russian national idea.
