VLASTNÍCTVO A SOCIALIZMUS Z POHĽADU SEMIONA LUDVIGOVIČA FRANKA
SEMYON LYUDVIGOVICH FRANK‘S VIEWS OF OWNERSHIP AND SOCIALISM

Summary/Abstract: The question of private and common ownership has much more extensive dimensions of influence than meets the eye. These dimensions are not limited to the economic, legal and social areas. S.L. Frank in his work Ownership and Socialism attempts to clarify the fact that it is its owner rather than the property which is the real issue. The author demonstrates that the treasures of the world and the ways of owning them are actually secondary, because it is the human soul which has “made a treasure“ of the things of the world, while the only one genuine treasure worthy of our affection is the infinitely loving God. This fact leads Frank to the conclusion that only through a supernatural “possession of the self“ in God can every natural way of ownership gain some meaning on the earth.
