Numbers, for philosopher Valerian Muravyov, are not mere abstractions but the foundation of both thought and reality, uniting the one and the many. Drawing on Pythagoreans, Neoplatonists, Leibniz, and Cantor, he developed a dialectical concept of plurality in which a number is a set containing all its subsets, leading to paradoxes about identity. The article examines Muravyov's attempt to create a new logical system to resolve paradoxes in naive set theory and publishes his chapter 'The Arithmetical Grounds' for the first time. His work is presented as an important contribution to Russian philosophy of mathematics.

A review of the 2025 Russian translation of Arthur Green's "Guide to the Book of Zohar" (2004), a concise introduction to Jewish mysticism originally published alongside the first English translation of the Zohar. The review notes that Green's work, while a significant contribution to Russian-language Jewish and religious studies, necessarily simplifies and schematizes its material—particularly the relationship between Jewish mysticism and philosophy—in order to present a holistic picture of the Zohar's history, context of creation, and main themes.

Franz Joseph Molitor, a German philosopher and Hebraist, attempted to create a holistic doctrine of the historical process by blending Schelling's philosophy with concepts from Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah). He viewed human history as part of a universal sacred history centered on revelation as a continuous process. Molitor argued that scientific study of history is possible through a reliable tradition preserved most purely in Kabbalah. He rethought Christianity and Judaism's place in history, contending that Christian theology cannot achieve its goals without serious engagement with Jewish mystical tradition. The article includes a biography, a Russian translation of Molitor's book, and translations of letters.
