Abstract

The Polish translation from Russian of V. Solovjev’s article (1897). Solovyov justifies Spinoza before prof. A. Vvedensky who accused the author of Ethics of atheism. According to Vvedensky God as an infinite substance in Spinoza’s system has not a necessary attributes of God: the teleological activity and free will. As a consequence, that concept does not describe true God and it would be treated as atheism. Solovjev responds that the imperfect concept of God does not allow to perceived Spinoza’s philosophy as atheism.
