Cultural Philosophy of Siberian regionalism

The monograph is the first systematic experience of philosophical reflection and culturological analysis of the ideology of Siberian regionalism, most vividly represented in the works of G.N. Potanin and N.M. Yadrintsev. It is shown that the regional idea is immanently characterized by an emphasis on the cultural and educational component. The work defines that the main cultural constants in the cultural philosophy of the oblasts are patriotism as the basic spiritual value, education as a way of transmitting traditions and values, and intellectuals as the main carrier and repeater of cultural values and meanings. The book is designed for philosophers, cultural scientists, historians, sociologists, and political scientists, as well as a wide range of readers interested in the problems of regional culture, the history of Russian philosophy and theory of Siberian regionalism.
