Labor book. E. N. Trubetskoy is the result of understanding the short life and intensive work of the Russian philosopher, theologian, poet and publicist V.S. Solovyov. The author writes about a person close to him in spirit, but at the same time he does not forget the ancient principle: "Plato is my friend, but the truth is dearer." Thus, the reader gets the opportunity to get acquainted with the worldview of the author, who also had a significant impact on the philosophical process in Russia. Prince Evgeny Nikolaevich Trubetskoy (1863-1920) - Russian philosopher, jurist, publicist, public figure from the Trubetskoy family; son of musicologist Nikolai Trubetskoy. Trubetskoy is one of the main representatives of the metaphysics of unity created by V.S. Solovyov. In 1887 E.N. Trubetskoy during one of the "Wednesdays" in the house of L.M. Lopatina met V.S. Solovyov. Being a student and successor of V.S. Solovieva, E.N. Trubetskoy disagreed with many aspects of his teaching, especially with his ecumenical ideas. He critically reviews Solovyov's philosophy, defines a certain core and sets the task of developing from this core an integral and systematic philosophy of God-manhood.
