From Chaadayev to Solovyov

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the ideological clash between East and West, this exploration of nineteenth-century Russian philosophical thought analyzes six key figures who either promoted dialogue or emphasized conflict between Russia and the West. The author highlights their differing stances on universal-humanist Christian principles, particularly Catholicism, and Enlightenment ideals. Notably, these thinkers have fallen into obscurity in contemporary Russia, overshadowed by figures like Dostoevsky and Leontiev, who symbolize the enduring conflict between Russia and Europe.
