Fyodor Stepun (Фё′дор А′вгустович Степу′н, February 18, 1884, Moscow, Russia, – February 23, 1965, Munich, Germany) was a Russian and German writer, philosopher, historian and sociologist. Fyodor Stepun, known also as Friedrich Steppuhn, was deported from the USSR in 1922 and since then has been living and working in Germany - first in Berlin and Dresden, then in Munich, where, from 1946, he was the professor of Munich University. A fierce opponent of Bolshevism, as well as Nazism, Stepun's philosophical doctrine was described as neo-Kantist transcendentalism linked with religious metaphysics, close to the ideas of Vladimir Solovyov and Nikolai Berdyaev.[1]
