Deep dives
Bulgakov's Intellectual Background and Influence
Bulgakov was heavily influenced by German idealism, particularly the works of Immanuel Kant, Fichte, and Schelling. He borrowed concepts such as the combination of divine and human nature from the Chalcedonian Creed and developed the idea of God-manhood, highlighting the connection between individuals and their divine nature. The notion of Sophia, inspired by German mystical thinkers, played a significant role in Bulgakov's thinking. He emphasized the importance of matter and creation, viewing human creativity and engagement with the material world as fundamental aspects of human existence. Bulgakov criticized one-sided approaches in German idealism and sought to develop a synthesis that accounted for subjectivity, objectivity, and being. He saw the trinitarian nature of reality and explored how the individual, society, and nature intertwine.
