The theme of the third conference that was dedicated to the perception of Kant’s ideas by Russian philosopher G.G. Shpet united eleven participants, two of which repres­ented foreign universities. The participants of the conference – famous domestic and foreign philosophers and historians of philosophy shared their conceptions and discussed debatable points of view on theoretical correlations in philosoph­ical conceptions of Immanuel Kant and Russian philosopher and phenomenolo­gist Gustav Gustavovich Shpet (1879–1937). During the discussion a wide range of not only historical and philosophical, but also existential, as well as philo­sophical and methodological subjects were touched upon, within the framework of which Shpet’s views on Kant’s heritage were reconstructed: problems of lo­gic, methodology of historical knowledge, philosophy of language, philosophy of culture, epistemology, etc. A summary of reports given and discussions held was reflected in the review in accordance with the order of presentations.
