The article examines the main concepts of pedagogy of Prof. P.D. Yurkevich – undeservedly forgotten Russian philosopher and teacher. It is noted that Yurkevich was the first in Russia to strongly oppose reductionism, reducing psychology to physiology, and called for pedagogy to be based not on utilitarian considerations, but on higher principles, “from the spirit”. Yurkevich’s ideas about the purpose of education, the closest connection between education and training, and the contrast between pagan and Orthodox pedagogy are presented and discussed. Various methods and forms of Yurkevich’s teaching are analyzed. It is concluded that all modern innovations in pedagogy (except computers) have already been applied by Yurkevich.
