Abstract

The role of F. Nietzsche's philosophy in understanding ethno-cultural subjectivity and its connection with religious experience is insufficiently comprehended by the philosophical community. The author suggests considering the concept of "Russian Nietzsche" differently. It must be approached not from the position of the coincidence of F. Nietzsche’s philosophical ideas with the ideas of Russian thinkers such as K.N. Leontiev or V.V. Rozanov, but as a statement that Nietzsche’s philosophy is a systemic completion of the asystemic philosophical tradition of Russian religious philosophy. The paradox here is that the prediction of the asystemic philosophical system of F. Nietzsche of Russian philosophy is not completely methodologically justified. The author believes that F. Nietzsche is the final systematist of I.V. Kireevsky’s philosophy of new beginnings. It is he who admits, following the  Slavophiles, that the religious experience of an ethnocultural community is the basis of its philosophy.
