Abstract

This article is dedicated to aspects of the chapter “Tochka rubezha” from Andrei Belyiʼs Istoriia stanovleniia samosoznaiushchei dushi (ISSD). An attempt is made to demonstrate that this chapter is based on Belyiʼs exchanges with the Russian phenomenologist Gustav Shpet from the early 1920s connected with the place occupied by Judaism in the contrasting philosophical approaches to the history of Christianity of both thinkers. At the same time, several historical and philosophical sources connected with the position of Judaism and used in the construction of Belyiʼs anthroposophically grounded study are compared with Jewish sources published around the same time.
