Michail Ivanovič Karinskij

Russian philosopher (1840–1917)

Michail Ivanovič Karinskij belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.

The record lists Michail Ivanovič Karinskij as Russian philosopher (1840–1917).

Michail Ivanovič Karinskij was born at Moscow in 1840. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Moscow Theological Academy.

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

His academic posts were held at Saint Petersburg Theological Academy.

The recorded fields of work are philosophy, history of philosophy and logic.

Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.

Recognition followed: Order of Saint Anna, 2nd class, Order of Saint Anna, 3rd class, Order of Saint Stanislaus, 2nd class and Order of St. Vladimir, 4th class.

That the work was done from Russia matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Michail Ivanovič Karinskij died in 1917, aged 77. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
