Russian term
творчество философа не значит, что он БЕРЕТ БЫТИЕ
Russian to English
Other
Philosophy
Это творчество философа не значит, что он берет бытие; субъективно - только каково оно для него, а не так как оно само есть. Это значит, что, когда он входит в бытие, то бытие полнее /совершеннее/ проявляет и само себя... - то, что оно само есть для самого себя, - для него впервые становится более совершенным и только то, что оно поистине есть для самого себя /находит себя и определяется, что оно само есть/.

his philosophizing does not mean intuiting being just subjectively...
here we must use the term "being" and not "existence" because they differ in professional language: being (esse) = (1)existence (existencia) + (2)essence (essencia). A real thing has existence (or it is) and essence (or what it is).
In order to know a real thing, the philosopher must (1) intuit it and (2)understand and express his intuition conceptually.
This constitutes his creative work, his philosophizing.

philosopher's work doesn't mean that he grasps/perceives existence subjectively
This is one hell of a paragraph. Judging by the context (however confusing it is), I'm guessing that the meaning is essentially 'to grasp' or 'to perceive' existence.

The whole sentence 'should' sound something like this:
This particular work of the philosopher doesn't mean that he grasps/perceives existence subjectively (the way it appears to him alone), and not the way it actually is.

: не думаю, что автор сам понял, что сказал, но перевод значительно "окультурил" мысль : ) I like 'grasps' by the way

regards / considers existence
"он берет бытие; субъективно" - I am pretty sure that semicolon (';') should be deleted. Then idea is mach more clear and translation by Mark Berelekhis should look like that:
The work of the philosopher doesn't mean that he grasps/perceives existence subjectively (the way it appears to him alone), BUT the way it actually is
The work of the philosopher doesn't mean that he grasps/perceives existence subjectively (the way it appears to him alone), BUT the way it actually is
Something went wrong...
