Product Description
Much of Russian philosophy has been unavailable to or unexplored by Western thinkers, which is a tragedy because the uniqueness of the Russian vision has much to contribute to Western dialogue. The Eternal in Russian Philosophy helps fill this intellectual lacuna by offering a genuinely philosophical introduction to the themes of Russian religious thought—freedom, the nature and centrality of the person, the nature of grace and law, the role of the irrational in human nature and its sublimation, and conscious credos versus unconscious cultural assumptions. Boris Vysheslavtsev was one of a constellation of Russian thinkers, including Soloviev, Berdyaev, and Florensky, whose voices were lost amid the din of Soviet censorship. It is only now that Vysheslavtsev's thought is becoming available to the West. Melding religious and existential concerns, this is both a book about Russian philosophy and an excellent exemplar of it.
