Biography
Peter Khupotsky was born in 1837 in the family of a priest of the St. George Church in the Cossack settlement of the city of Dankov, Ryazan province, Makarii Petrovich Khupotsky; the elder brother of Varvara Makarovna Khupotskaya, who also became a teacher and taught at the St. Petersburg Vozdvizhensky College [1] . In the Ryazan diocese received primary and secondary education . In 1856, at the end of the course at the Ryazan Theological Seminary , he entered the Moscow Theological Academy , where he graduated from the course as the first master in 1860 [2] .
As the best student of the Academy, he was left at the MDA as a teacher, determined on August 31, 1860 by a bachelor in the department of philosophical sciences , and he was entrusted with the teaching of experimental psychology and moral philosophy; and in the absence of philosophy professor VD Kudryavtsev-Platonov , who for the whole 1861 was invited to the Highest court to teach philosophical subjects to the heir to Tsarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich , Khupotsky also taught metaphysics with the history of ancient philosophy. In addition, from May 30, 1862, he was an assistant inspector of the academy [2] .
Khupotsky did not serve at the academy for long; Considering himself morally obligated to render assistance to his large family after the death of his father and to support two younger brothers, who he had moved from Ryazan to Bethany Theological Seminary , P. Khupotsky was in dire need of funds with the then insignificant salaries of his welfare in the spiritual education department. And since at that time there was a demand for teachers of philosophical subjects at universities, Khupotsky took advantage of the invitation of Count I. D. Delyanov, trustee of the St. Petersburg school district, and filed a letter of resignation from the clergy and transfer to the Ministry of Public Education of the Russian Empire [2 ] .
For comprehensive preparation for the professorship, P. M. Khupotsky was sent abroad for two years. These two years (1865-1867) he spent at the University of Gottingen and Jena and listened, among others, to the lectures of the famous philosopher Lotze . Upon returning from abroad, Khupotsky, as if sent there not from the university, but from the ministry, before presenting and defending his doctoral dissertation, could take a chair at any of the Russian universities only with the rank of assistant professor . And he was very preoccupied with writing a doctoral dissertation, as can be seen from one relating to 1868, his letter to the rector of the Moscow Theological Academy, Archpriest A. V. Gorsky ; but he never wrote it. He didnβt attach himself to any university, although in 1868, judging by the same letter of Khupotsky, the ministry pointed to two vacant philosophical departments in Kiev and Kharkov. He managed to get a teacher of logic only in gymnasiums, for example, the Vladimir and Moscow private schools of Kreiman . For some time he was a teacher of Russian at the Alexander Military School . In Moscow, he was also a member of the public reading commission and wrote small articles and notes in newspapers and magazines [2] .
Since 1887, Pyotr Makarovich Khupotsky began to notice signs of a mental disorder in him, and on September 1, 1888 he was placed in the Moscow Transfiguration Hospital for the Mentally Ill (now the Psychiatric Hospital No. 3 named after V. A. Gilyarovsky ) and spent two years in it, and died on a trip to Mount Athos , in Kiev , also in a psychiatric hospital, March 12, 1890 [2] .
The life that was not quite favorable did not present P. M. Khupotsky the opportunity to discover his mental talents in any major scholarly and literary works. His most master's dissertation, β On the writings of Origen in expounding the New Testament books of the Holy Scriptures β, written on the subject of general church history and under the direction of MDA professor, Archpriest A.V. Gorsky, is only partially published in the βAddenda to the Creations of the Holy Fathersβ, published at Moscow Theological Academy, for 1861 (part XX, pp. 100-144). In the subject of Khupotskyβs specialty, his speech β On the Meaning of a Word in the Mental Development of a Person β published in the book: βAnnual Report and speeches delivered on October 2, 1875 at the Franz Kreiman Moscow Private Gymnasiumβ, Moscow, 1875 [3] is also known. In both works of Khupotsky one can see a good knowledge of ancient and new languages, extensive erudition, the depth of thought and the breadth of the author's views [2] .
According to contemporaries, as a person, β Khupotsky had a lively, responsive, and sociable character; I was ready to render any services possible for him; was animated by the best aspirations and broad intentions . " After Khupotsky, many papers remained, representing excerpts from lectures on subjects he taught, incomplete articles on philosophy, religion, Jewish theosophy and other subjects, translations from German and other languages, bibliographic notes and his correspondence [2] .
