Abstract

   Book review by A. M. Burovsky records numerous substitutions made by the author. They concern the opinion of N. A. Berdyaev, the definitions given by the American psychologist W. James, as well as the qualifications of the Chinese neo-Confucian philosopher Yang Wangming. The author repeatedly operates with unproven accusations against colleagues (to the greatest extent this concerns the late academician A.P. Okladnikov), descends to openly racist statements against the Russian and Mongolian peoples. The author's racism and the resulting rejection of Russia in practice lead him to a natural attempt to revive the separatist tradition of Siberian regionalism in the 19th century. The review discusses the motivation that prompted the author to write such an unconvincing work.
