Semyon Frank

Semyon Frank (1877-1950) was a Russian philosopher and a prominent figure in the early 20th-century philosophical movement known as Russian religious philosophy. He emphasized the interplay between metaphysics and ethics, advocating for a spiritual understanding of reality. Frank's work explored themes of freedom, existence, and the nature of the divine, blending elements of Russian Orthodox thought with ideas from Western philosophy. He played a significant role in the post-revolutionary intellectual landscape, contributing to discussions on humanism, mysticism, and the search for meaning in a changed world. His legacy continues to influence philosophical discourse today.
