Abstract

The conclusion summarizes how the Russian diaspora in its early years viewed Kant in order to show how Russian philosophy differed from Western philosophy. The dominent ontological orientation of Russian philosophy remained. Thus, in light of the emerging interest in ontology in the West, it is doubtful that the nascent epistemological concerns of the neo-Kantians would have gained ascendency had Russian philosophy not been disrupted by political events.
