The subject of DSc Irina Sizemskaya's article is social modelling as a vector of development of Russian philosophy of the 19th - early 20th centuries; the relevant models are analysed on the example of a number of concepts of Russian liberalism. CSc Denis Letnyakov's article is devoted to some aspects of the discussion of civilisational identity, historical specificity and the path of Russia's development; in particular, the limitations of two intellectual strategies - "originality" and "Westernism" - are noted. They, in turn, are contrasted with their productive synthesis, a kind of reconciliation strategy outlined in the works of Alexander Herzen.
