Vladimir Solovyov and Russian neo-Leibnitzianism

The article deals with a critical analysis of neo-Leibnitzian and other substantialist and personalistic concepts of the human ego by Vladimir Solovyov from the point of his philosophy of unity. The author states that for Vladimir Solovyov only absolute personality could enjoy the ontological status and that, at the same time, he was lookingforaphilosophical alternative to the endless chain of various deterministic models of human existence. Solovyov based his reasoning on possibility and necessity of Christian philosophy, but he contrasted the ethics of «moral determinism» to a free creativity personality-substance.
