The Unknowable is arguably the greatest Russian philosophical work of the twentieth century. In its density and profundity it is comparable to Pavel Florenskys The Pillar and Ground of the Truth and Sergius Bulgakovs The Bride of the Lamb. In 1937 Frank described The Unknowable as the best and most profound thing which I have so far written. The Unknowable was the culmination of Franks intellectual and spiritual development, the boldest and most imaginative of all his writings, containing a synthesis of epistemology, ontology, social philosophy, religious philosophy, and personal spiritual experience: the soul transcends outward to knowledge of other souls, thereby gaining knowledge of itself, becoming itself for the first time; and the soul transcends inward to gain knowledge of God, acquiring for the first time stable, certain being in this knowledge.S. L. FRANK (18771950) was one of the leading Russian philosophers of the twentieth century. Some authorities consider him to be the most outstanding Russian philosopher of any age. His active philosophical career spanned the halfcentury from 1902 to 1950. Over the course of this period he produced seven booklength treatises on philosophy, as well as several long philosophical essays, in addition to a mass of articles and reviews. When young, he took part in a Marxist group and was arrested and banned from major Russian cities. Yet, like a number of other Russian thinkers, he was not satisfied with Marxism and turned first to Idealism and then to religious philosophy. In 1922, along with other major ideological opponents of the Communist State, Frank was expelled from the Soviet Union. He worked in exile until his death in London in 1950. The key to Franks life was his detached contemplativeness; his entire life was a blissful dream or contemplation of the Divine AllUnity, which was the main theme of his works.
