V.L. Gordin. From Chaos to the Invention of the Universe

Abstract

The publication consists of two parts: an introduction to the problems of researching W.L. Gordin’s creative legacy and a translation of his article, published in 1934 in in E. Armand’s French anarcho-individualist journal “L’en dehors”, from French into Russian. Authors emphasize that it is impossible to write the biography of the Russian thinker until the emigrant period of his life is studied. In addition, the introduction provides the reader with a review of publications on the work of V.L. Gordin from 2014 to 2024. The conclusion is made about the rapid growth of interest among philosophers, historians and art historians in the ideas of the thinker. The authors also insist on the necessary integration of expert groups into a single community of researchers.
