Prince Sergei Nikolaevich Troubetzkoy (1863–1905) was a Russian religious philosopher. He was the son of Prince Nikolai Petrovitch Troubetzkoy, co-founder of the Moscow Conservatory, and Sophia Alekseievna Lopouchina. His mother was a big influence on his religious thought. He and his brother, Evgenii Nikolaevitch Troubetzkoy (1863-1920), continued Vladimir Solovyov's work on developing a modern Christian philosophy of the world. ==Biography== As a teenager S. N. Troubetzkoy was an adherent of the British Positivists, Herbert Spencer and John Stuart Mill. Later he became disappointed with both and turned to Schopenhauer. Study of his philosophy led Troubetzkoy to a conclusion that Schopenhauer's pessimism was the result of denial of God. Troubetzkoy himself described this dilemma the following way: "Either God exists or life is not worth living". He became an Orthodox Christian, and also an adherent of the Slavophiles: his beliefs at that time were influenced by the writings of Aleksey Khomyakov. In 1885 Troubetzkoy graduated from Moscow University; but he continued to work there until his death, lecturing in philosophy. In 1886 he became acquainted with the philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, who held largely the same views about religion as Troubetzkoy and became his close friend. In 1890 Troubetzkoy became Professor of philosophy in Moscow University. Later he played a significant role in the Russian liberal movement. In 1905 he was elected rector of Moscow University; but he died just a month later, of brain hemorrhage. Nikolai Trubetzkoy, the linguist, was his son. S. N. Troubetzkoy's brother, Evgenii Nikolaevitch (1863-1920), was also a philosopher and a Professor at Moscow University, who largely shared S. N. Troubetzkoy's beliefs. Evgenii Troubetzkoy died of typhus in the Crimea while he was trying to emigrate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sergei Nikolaevich Trubetskoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
