In the year, the brothers Sergey and Eugene entered the law faculty of Moscow University, but Sergey, two weeks later, switched to the historical and philological faculty, where he first studied at the historical, and then at the classical department.

Interest in philosophy arose among Trubetskoy even in adolescence. Like his younger brother E. Trubetskoy, he experienced the influence of positivism and nihilism.

Zenkovsky characterizes S. Trubetskoy as follows: “Prince. Trubetskoy can be named, deteriorating his originality, a follower of Vl. Soloviev - so much he owes the latter.

We can say without exaggeration that in their initial philosophical inspirations of Prince. Trubetskoy was completely dependent on Solovyov. However, the closest acquaintance with the work of S. Trubetskoy convinces that Solovyov’s influence was only “inspiring” in nature, awakening his own intuition among our philosopher; In any case, accepting a number of Yalovyov’s ideas, S.

Trubetskoy always justifies them in his own way. In these, so to speak, “secondary” constructions, the originality of S. Trubetskoy is revealed, which always remains himself in everything. Being an excellent specialist in the field of Greek philosophy, as well as having the richest knowledge of the history of religion, S. Trubetskoy did not like to express those philosophical ideas that he still did not suffer enough and for the substantiation of which he had not yet determined the arguments that we find the most curious testimony of which we find in the doctrine about Sofia - see those ideas that he defended, he always developed originally and developed originally and developed originally and The conviction that testifies to the deep penetration of these ideas into the soul of these ideas ”The main works of S.
