The article presents a gorky who is little known – gorky in search of active and efficient philosophy. The unique context in which gorky found himself in the summer of 1906 – at the crossroads of two influential intellectual and social trends: the philosophical school at glenmore in the adirondacks, where dewey lectured, and the fabian Socialist utopian community associated with John and prestonia martin – determined his future transition from radicalism of means, i.e. revolution, to radicalism of ends, that is the creation of the mentality for the “new man.” This radical end is to be achieved through education.

The authors contend that a relational conception of human being is both plausible and desirable, and that absence or lack is a distinctive constitutive feature of human being.
