| Key points | Argues that Nikolaj Losskij and Vladimír Hoppe shared a mystical harmony rooted in the Christian mystical tradition, with Hoppe's transcendental "I" analogous to Losskij's substantial "I"; their independent convergence on similar views, expressed in Losskij's repeated engagement with Hoppe's thinking, formed the basis of their spontaneous friendship. |
Abstract
Mystical Harmony of Nikolaj Losskij with Vladimír Hoppe The article presents a mystical harmony of Nikolaj Losskij with Vladimír Hoppe. Losskij and Hoppe were very spiritually close to each other because both of them followed from mystic tradition of Christianity through which they consequently analyzed, sorted out and classified knowledge of philosophers and mystics of all religions. Losskij reflected Hoppe several times in his studies and liked introducing his thinking in the context of harmony with his own knowledge. Hoppe's transcendental "I" is analogous to Losskij's concept of a substantial "I". The mystic affinity of Losskij and Hoppe who independently of each other came to similar opinions formed a basis for their spontaneous friendship.
