Portrait of Vladimir Ern

Russian culture cannot be fully grasped without rekindling its profound roots in the form of evolved and sophisticated Integral philosophical systems, frequently referred to as Russian spiritual or philosophical frameworks.\r\nSeveral compelling excerpts from Vladimir Ern (1882–1917), a prominent Russian philosopher and ardent advocate for Eros and Logos, who remains relatively unknown in the Western world, will be shared. His perspectives on both Eros and Logos align with Ken Wilber's Integral philosophy in numerous ways, particularly concerning the sensation of Eros and also to the passion and intensity inherent in Wilber's thought. This provides yet another source that enables us to place our contemporary Integral thought within a broader context of humanity's historic development, and points towards what, as Ern would likely explain, is the vital essence of Integral thought - its unwavering intensity and unrelenting passion. Furthermore, this type of knowledge does not pass through generations or lineages in a linear fashion – it is an insight-based gnosis that bursts forth into our lives, propelling us into a state of ceaseless wonder and reverence for the divine life we've been given.
