Overview
Expand your grasp on nineteenth-century Russian philosophy with two important works by the lesser-known contemporary of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky—Vladimir Soloyov.
An influential thinker and writer, Solovyov played an important part in the development of Russian philosophy, poetry, and in the spiritual renaissance of the early twentieth century. Solovyov is famous for exploring ideas such as the universal Church, the evolution of the God-man, the “Eternal Feminine,” and love as the highest revelation and proof of immortality. This collection couples two pieces that display some of his best work. Drawing from Orthodox theology, he presents original contributions in moral philosophy, grappling with essential questions of the human existence.
In War, Progress, and the End of History, Solovyov uses a “drawing room discussion” format to dialogue about the central problem of evil in the world from a Christian worldview. He also discusses the coming of the Antichrist, seeking to “show beforehand this deceptive visor” who “will cast a glittering veil of good and truth over the mystery of utter lawlessness in the time of its final revelation.” The Justification of the Good argues for human morality, and examines the practical interplay of Christian goodness with the many institutions of world, from the family to the nation to economic and penal systems.
