This groundbreaking work by one of the world’s foremost
theoreticians of Russian literature, culture, and thought gives for
the first time an extensive and detailed examination of the
development of Russian thought during the late Soviet period.
Countering the traditional view of an intellectual wilderness under
the Soviet regime, Mikhail Epstein offers a systematic account of
Russian thought in the second half of the 20th century. In doing
so, he provides new insights into previously ignored areas such as
Russian liberalism, personalism, structuralism, neo–rationalism,
and culturology. Epstein shows how Russian philosophy and culture
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 philosophical thought and
cultural theory, now freed from the bonds of totalitarianism. We
are left with not only a new and exciting interpretation of Russian
thought, but also an opportunity to rethink our own intellectual
heritage.
