Logic in Russia and Orthodox Church

Abstract

Russia’s government was suspicious toward philosophy and at the mid of XIX century ousted philosophy from University curriculum. Nevertheless ban of philosophy have no impact on logic which was taught by philosophers as well. Study of logic continued in all Russian Universities though the program was compiled by Moscow Spiritual academy and approved by Holy Synod. We discuss the feature of this program and stress crucial role of Orthodox Church in preserving logical traditions in Russia during XIX — turn of XX centuries.
