The Idea of "Total Unity" in the Russian and Indian Philosophy of the Late 19th Century

The summary: Barnaul, Russia One of the most important themes in Russo-Indian cross-cultural research is the ideological commonality and solidarity of values with which the two great cultures have responded to the beginning of the global crisis which continues to this day. From this point of view we can find deep intellectual and spiritual parallels in the works of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda ( Indian vedanta) and V.S. Solovyov (Russian religious-philosophical doctrine of Total Unity). These ideas are still actual today as an alternative to the imperialistic globalization founded on Euro-centrism, economic competition and the pursuit of profit, individualism, and the primacy of the secular parts of culture over its sacral components.
