Abstract
The article shows how the discussion between representatives of pragmatism and neoKantianism reveals an evident similarity between the two opposing philosophical positions This similarity consists in their reliance on Kant’s philosophy as well as in their attempt to surpass it by turning to relativism and irrationalism A particularly clear example of this is the projective philosophy of Nikolai F Fedorov By attempting to surpass Kant in a radically pragmatic way Fedorov exposes the problems of pragmatism and “blows” it up from inside In his philosophical construction Fedorov pursues a “universal synthesis” of both the belief in reason inherent in Enlightenment and the belief in God positivism and dialectic projectivism and phantasy On the one hand he introduces a number of new notions such as ideolatry supramoralism etc on the other hand he utilizes Christian dogmas As a result Fedorov fails to create a conception which would dialectically combine contradictory approaches producing a utopia or myth instead
