Angela DIOLETTA SICLARI, Individuality and ecumenism in the light of Kantian ethics.
In the course of the primary stage of his formation, Ivanov comes close to Kant's ethical ideology and Fichte's and Schelling's idealism. But, all in all, he does not really share these ideas ; he rather makes use of them as symbols and as means to study personally, more thoroughly, the problem of connection between individual liberty and values.
In "Krizis individualizina" (1905), Ivanov underlines two aspects of Kantian ethics : the indefinite multiplicity of unnecessary forms in which the moral intention can lie embodied and the universalism of the person, as objective of the moral action. He concludes therefrom that Kantian ethics equips the individual with a "royal dimension", in other words that it is the basis of ecumenism. However, from Kant's point of view, this "royal dimension" is not yet ecumenism : according to the latter, it is not only the dimension of rationality of will that is to be shared, but also the dimension of action and of concrete experience, in which the concrete rules to be followed reside.
Ivanov — like all symbolists — views liberty as one of the two elements of polarity. From a certain point of view, the concrete world will always be negative inasmuch as it constitutes the limitation of the individual's liberty ; and it must be such so that the personality might reveal itself. This means that there are no other true objectives except the materialization of the person and that the person is realized only by opposition to the world, according to Fichte.
