It is shown that the representative of the Russian positivist philosophy of history N.I. Kareev left behind a huge array of historiosophical reviews that are important for permanent understanding of the essence of world history. It is concluded that N.I. Kareev, as a thinker who stands on the platform of multi-factor analysis, was able to see the positive potential of various concepts of world history. In particular, in the metaphysical legacy of F. Schelling, N.I. Kareev found ideas that could unite seemingly dissimilar interpretations of world history. As such, N.I. Kareev highlights two ideas of the German thinker. The first idea: the merging of cultures that are opposite in their foundations can give rise to a new education and encourage a cultural dialogue. The second one: the world history is the duality and interdependence of the cultures of the West and the East.
