The article analyzes and compares the ideas about space and time of the Russian philosophers of the late 19th century Nikolai&nbsp;N.&nbsp;Strakhov and Boris&nbsp;N.&nbsp;Chicherin. The basis for comparison has an exclusively historical and philosophical reason. Both philosophers based their philosophical systems on the material of classical Western European and Russian philosophical traditions. When they developed individual concepts in the era of changing philosophical paradigms, they were forced to make a decision: to follow the &quot;progressive&quot; trends (positivism, materialism) or to revise classical concepts and defend the fundamentality of the metaphysical method in science and philosophy. Both philosophers chose the second path and achieved original results, especially in the study of the properties of space and time. The article provides a comparative analysis of the interpretation of space and time by both thinkers and establishes that, firstly, the freely accepted Hegelian philosophy became the basis for understanding these concepts; secondly, both philosophers focused on the epistemological side of the interpretation of these concepts (although they attracted rich scientific material for argumentation); thirdly each of them sought to solve a rather complex problem of the relationship between the subjective and objective properties of space and time.
