Grigori Savvich Skovoroda is the person that all philosophers wish
to become. He was a mendicant teacher, nomad and Christian
humanist, and the exceptional talents he possessed provided him the
means for success as he preached his version of Christian humanism.
He had a profound mind, phenomenal memory, and played several
musical instruments. Along with knowing the Russian and Ukrainian
languages, Skovoroda was fluent in Hebrew, German, Latin and Greek,
and translated works of Cicero and Plutarch from Greek into
Ukrainian. He also had a photographic memory of the Bible.
Skovoroda traveled on foot southern Russia and eastern Ukraine for
some 30 years, influencing every person he met and household he
visited and compiling a library of compositions of his version of
Christian humanism. His memory and influence endures to the
present. This volume contains a biography, analysis of his
philosophy, and a translation into English of several selections of
his work.
