Abstract
The author considers Vladimir Solov’ev’s Theoretical Philosophy as an outline of non-transcendental phenomenology. In this paper the special attention is being paid to the differences that are there between Solov’ev’s and Husserl’s attitudes towards Descartes’ cogito. For Husserl Cartesian cogito is none other than intermediate step toward the transcendental Ego, having only psychological evidence, while for Solov’ev the cogito signifies the falsity of the way followed by European philosophy, starting with Descartes.
A significant part of the paper deals with what can be named the “destruction” of Cartesian cogito. In Solov’ev’s eyes the cogito is an “impostor without philosophical passport”; as it is none other than substantiation of thinking. Therefore the cogito conceals in itself the illegal passage from the act to state. Besides that it (cogito) has two different metaphysical meanings: subject and substance. As a subject the cogito is a basis of “new world”; but as a substance it is the metaphysical author of this world.
