Konstantin SIGOV, Beyond the opposition Tabula rasa/Thesaurus. In connection with the Correspondence across a room.
The opposition between Russia and the West, that had obsessed so many participants in the historical debate is completely transformed in the Correspondence across a room. After ihe First World War and the Revolution, Gerschenson and Ivanov discuss in a Bolshevik sanatorium the problematic of the transmission of the legacy of the past (Eastern as well as Western). The problems of the break down of traditions, of elements of constraint in political practices and scientific theories, the monumental past of culture and the decadent attitude in this respect in the present are being analyzed, on basis of the main question of possibilities of justifying history. Taking as a starting point precisely the questioning of the notion of truth (pravda) in history, it is proceeded to examine anew the objective of the debate of the Correspondence, defined in former interpretations as binary oppositions : Jew versus Hellene, nominalist versus realist, Rousseauist versus Platonist, tabula rasa versas thesaurus.
