Philosophy in Russia covers its subject broadly and in detail from
the eighteenth century to Lenin and beyond into the post-Stalin
period. It offers a continuous history of the development of
philosophical thought in Russia, and portraits of individual and
influential thinkers. The author devotes careful analysis to
radicals such as Bakunin, Herzen, Chernyshevsky and Lavrov, and to
the Marxists such as Plekhanov and Lenin. He also discusses the
thought of writers such as Kireevsky, Leontiev and Solovyev, and
examines the philosophically relevant ideas of Dostoevsky and
Tolstoy. He also discusses Russian thinkers in exile, such as
Berdyaev, Frank, N. O. Lossky and Shestov.For historical reasons
philosophical thought in Russia has tended to become socially or
politically committed thought. To what extent genuine philosophical
thought has proved to be compatible with the monopoly enjoyed by
Marxism-Leninism in the fields of education and publishing is a
crucial question discussed in this authoritative study.
