Biography
Born March 30 ( April 11 ), 1861 . Educated at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy .
At the end of the academy's science course with the title of candidate of theology , Soloviev entered the civil service, the state control department , where he served for over 22 years, holding successively the following posts: account officer of the railway department, assistant auditor and junior auditor, senior controller of road controls: Ussuriysky, southwestern, Tashkent and, finally, the assistant to the chief controller of control of the Samara-Zlatoust railway .
He was the author of several scientific works in the field of psychology, psychophysiology and biology, giving a peculiar explanation of the origin of organic forms. His most significant works: “The theory of volitional representations. Its relation to the specialization and elevation of the organic world "(St. Petersburg: type. N. A. Lebedeva, 1892. - 404 pp.) And" Attention as an organic force. The experience of the biological theory of attention ”(St. Petersburg: St. Petersburg, commercial. Tipo-lit., 1901. - 367 p .; 2nd ed., Rev., Rep. Ed. - M .: URSS, 2011. - 366 p. - (From the heritage of world psychology.) - ISBN 978-5-397-01903-3 .). Soloviev wrote and published at various times a number of other essays, including Grammatology (an answer from the theory of the evolutionary alphabet) and the treatise On the Expediency of Being. Consisting of a service on the Tashkent Railway , he posted articles of a philosophical and pedagogical character in the Orenburg Territory, under the pseudonym Tees.
His name can often be found in polemical literature of the 90s of the XIX century, which covered the debate that took place between the Marxists, as the spokesmen of materialism, and idealistic metaphysicians of various kinds. Opponents of Marxism like Sharapov, who occupied the right wing among the representatives of metaphysical thinking, were especially fond of citing Solovyov’s works. The latter called T. P. Solovyov “Russian Darwin” in a pamphlet published under the same title. The brochure aroused criticism of L. Trotsky .
He died in the rank of state adviser on August 3 ( 16 ), 1911 in the Pleshanov hospital in Samara from blood poisoning .
