Translate into English:
1. Соловьев связывал философское творчество с позитивным разрешением жизненного вопроса «быть или не быть правде на земле», понимая правду как реализацию христианского идеала.
2. Центральное понятие жизни приобретает у Соловьева в его концепции
красота. И хотя красота в природе рассматривается Соловьевым как воплощение «идеи», здесь на первый план выходит понятие «жизни».
В основании философии Соловьева лежит идея Всеединства. Ее мыслитель
прежде всего использует при философской трактовке мира, космоса, бесконечной вселенной. Но она изначально нацелена, чтобы более глубоко и многосторонне, чем это было в предшествующей философии, осмыслить место человека в космическом универсуме, установить органическое единство человека и природы, природы и Бога, индивида и общества, отдельных индивидов и истории.
Соловьев понимает Бога не только как абсолют, как субстанцию, но и как
субъект. Если этого не сделать, утверждает Соловьев, то Бог будет поставлен ниже человека, что вообще лишает значения божественную сущность.
