Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov

Leonid Pasternak : Nikolai Fyodorowitsch Fyodorow

Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov (born May 26 ^{. Jul} / 7. June  1829 ^greg. In Klyuchi in Tambov Governorate , † December 15 ^jul. / 28 December  1903 ^greg. In Moscow ) was a Russian philosopher.

Fyodorov was the illegitimate child of the Russian nobles Elizaveta Ivanova and Prince Pavel Gagarin. Raised in Okna with the Gagarin family, he attended school in Eack from 1836 to 1842 and then until 1849 the grammar school in Tambow . From 1849 to 1852 he studied administrative science at the Richelieu University in Odessa . There he already drafted the basic ideas of his "unsystematic philosophy". After the college, which he left without a degree, Fyodorov worked at several provincial schools as a history teacher. In 1868 he moved to Moscow, where he gave private lessons and in 1869 found a job as an assistant librarian in the Chertkow library . From 1874 to 1899 he worked as a librarian in the Rumyantsev Museum , where he was the first to compile a systematic book catalog. During the last years of his life he was a librarian in the reading room of the Moscow Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs .

Fyodorov's philosophy, which can also be felt in the work of Boris Pasternak , connects Christian and philosophical concepts, including the idea of ​​the resurrection of the body or the idea of ​​world consciousness ( noosphere ).
