Sergei Nikolaevich Trubetskoy

[citation needed] He was the son of Prince Nikolai Petrovitch Trubetskoy, co-founder of the Moscow Conservatory, and Sophia Alekseievna Lopouchina, who was a big influence on his religious thought.

His daughters and wife were killed there as well Defunct Working in the same field as Solovyov, Trubetskoy sought to establish a philosophic foundation for an Orthodox Christian worldview, which would be equally rooted in faith and reason.

[citation needed] The religious beliefs of Trubetskoy are sometimes identified as "Christocentrism", wherein the Church serves as a continuation of the Incarnation of Christ to convey divine precepts to society.

[citation needed] Trubetskoy believed that the personality of Jesus Christ, which united the human and divine wills, is crucial for understanding of all aspects and dimensions of Christianity.

He viewed Christian teaching not solely as a set of ethical norms but as a system of truth which can be perceived and understood exclusively through special revelation (see fideism).
