Dr. Fukui's research centers on 19th-century Russian intellectual history, specializing in Nikolai Fedorov's philosophy and its intersections with science and religion. Her work critically examines Slavophilism, Russian Cosmism, and Eurasian Movement through frameworks of Christian thought, apocatastasis (universal restoration), and liturgical philosophy. She investigates how Fedorov reconciled evolutionary theory with Orthodox theology in his 'Common Task' while analyzing Kireevsky's concept of 'believing reason'.
Her 2020-2025 publications reveal evolving focus from Fedorov's Christology and thanatology toward broader 'science and religion' dialogues in Russian thought. Recent work connects Fedorov's liturgical dynamism to anthropogenesis and cosmic theosis, while comparative studies explore Karsavin's critique of Fedorov's personhood theory.
Dr. Fukui directs JSPS-funded research on Russian Cosmism's genesis within evolutionary theory history (2023-2026), building on her earlier project on apocatastasis theory development. Her methodology integrates archival analysis of Fedorov's manuscripts with contemporary philosophical frameworks to trace intellectual lineages from Chaadayev to Eurasianism.
