The article examines the role of cross-border movements in the development of philosophical discourse. The life and work of the Hungarian philosopher Aurel Kolnai, who spent most of his life in emigration, is analyzed. It is noted that the position of "outsidedness", taken by the philosopher, contributed to the formation of original socio-political ideas.
