This groundbreaking work by one of the world's foremost
theoreticians of culture and scholars of Russian philosophy gives
for the first time a systematic examination of the development of
Russian philosophy during the late Soviet period. Countering the
traditional view of an intellectual wilderness under the Soviet
regime, Mikhail Epstein provides a comprehensive account of Russian
thought of the second half of the 20th century that is highly
sophisticated without losing clarity. It provides new insights into
previously mostly ignored areas such as late-Soviet Russian
nationalism and Eurasianism, religious thought, cosmism and
esoterism, and postmodernism and conceptualism. Epstein shows how
Russian philosophy has long been trapped in an intellectual prison
of its own making as it sought to create its own utopia. However,
he demonstrates that it is time to reappraise Russian thought, now
freed from the bonds of Soviet totalitarianism and ideocracy but
nevertheless dangerously engaged into new nationalist aspirations
and metaphysical radicalism. We are left with not only a new and
exciting interpretation of recent Russian intellectual history, but
also the opportunity to rethink our own philosophical heritage.
