Sergey Hessen's Philosophy of Education

The article considers the project of Sergey Hessen's Philosophy of Education, addressed in the context of the thinker's general philosophical views, which had been influenced by the European neo-Kantianism tradition. However, Hessen argued (in line with Russian personalist metaphysics) that "identity is acquired only through the work on super-personal objectives". In contrast to analytic philosophy, pedagogical anthropology and "dialogical philosophy" (M.Buber), Hessen's standing is closer to the type of philosophy of education, emerged from the Humanities.
