The great age of Russian philosophy spans the century between 1830
and 1930 - from the famous Slavophile-Westernizer controversy of
the 1830s and 1840s, through the 'Silver Age' of Russian culture at
the beginning of the twentieth century, to the formation of a
Russian 'philosophical emigration' in the wake of the Russian
Revolution. This volume is a major history and interpretation of
Russian philosophy in this period. Eighteen chapters (plus a
substantial introduction and afterword) discuss Russian
philosophy's main figures, schools and controversies, while
simultaneously pursuing a common central theme: the development of
a distinctive Russian tradition of philosophical humanism focused
on the defence of human dignity. As this volume shows, the
century-long debate over the meaning and grounds of human dignity,
freedom and the just society involved thinkers of all backgrounds
and positions, transcending easy classification as 'religious' or
'secular'. The debate still resonates strongly today.
