“…"With the baptism of Russia the history of Russian culture started" wrote D.S. Likhachev [4]. The ascetic life of monks in Russian monasteries was a vivid example of the ability to care for others, to come to the rescue, to listen to the requests of others, to be patient with the workers who worked for the glory of God.…”

“…Perhaps, one of the historical reasons for the diverging attitudes to culture in Russia and Western Europe is a different locus of cultural productiontraditionally in the West, universities were places for arts and literature, whereas in Russia these were monasteries. As Dmitrii Likhachev writes, "if the culture of Western Europe predominantly was a university culturewith all the specific features of university tolerance of other cultures past and present, Russian culture, from the fourteenth century and up to the beginning of the eighteenth, was one of monastic literacy and a monastic type of economic structure" [9].…”

The paper engages with the ideas of the prominent musician and musical scholar Alexander Ivashkin (1948-2014), whose chapter on Irrationalism in Russian music forms part of the collective volume Facets of Russian Irrationalism between Art and Life: Mystery inside Enigma edited by Olga Tabachnikova (Brill-Rodopi, 2016). We address Russian and Western European conceptions and manifestations of irrationalism in art, and highlight methodological challenges which this topic presents. A possible correlation between artistic creativity and political liberties is discussed, drawing on Ivashkin's earlier publications. This leads to a broader discussion of Russia vis-à-vis Western Europe in the framework of artistic differences and cultural constants. Using Ivashkin's philosophical premonitions concerning the invasion of Russian arts in Western culture, we argue that alongside some potentially destructive tendencies of this phenomenon, there are also highly inspiring and meaningful features to it.

“…The poet Pushkin (1985) and the scholars Billington (1970) and Likachev (1999) point to St Ephrem, the Syrian’s fourth-century fasting prayer, as the very paradigm for the first ethical streak, seeing it also as nothing but the synecdoche of the core Russian mindset. St Ephrem enumerates emotional vices that should be defied (procrastination, idle curiosity, lust of power, idle talk and judgementalism) and emotional virtues that should be nurtured (chastity, humility, patience, repentance and agape – divine love).…”

A historical theory of organization and management in Europe's Orthodox East: A Weberian re-enchantment of disenchanted rationalization

First and foremost I aim to contribute with a re-enchanting historical alternative to the winning Western model of disenchanted rationalization in organization and management. I also intend to offer moderation to the dominance of organization and management theories from Northern America and core Europe. I spell out a Weberian ideal type theory of Eastern Orthodox monastic organization and management. In doing this I implement Weber's advice to contextualize social and human science research on the principle of Kulturbedeutung-, cultural relevance. This I seek from present-day organization and management research, Weber's works, the self-understanding of Eastern Orthodox monasticism, and the geographical and historical predicament of my country. My argument advances from questions of aims and agency in Orthodox monasticism to its ethics, its aesthetics, its organization and management rules and hierarchies, and it's the aspect of its self-understanding made up by aporiai-, hard-to-resolve logical puzzles. In analogy with Weber's exploitation of his ideal types, in my conclusions I contrast my ideal type with organization and management theories of Catholic monasticism elaborated by Alfred Kieser and others, with two pronouncedly purified ideal types of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and with a foremost presentday general organization and management theory.
