The writings of Sergei Bulgakov (1871-1944), like those of other
major social thinkers of Russia's Silver Age, were obliterated from
public consciousness under Soviet rule. Discovered again after
eighty years of silence, Bulgakov's work speaks with remarkable
directness to the postmodern listener. This outstanding translation
of Philosophy of Economy brings to English-language speakers for
the first time a major work of social theory written by a critical
figure in the Russian tradition of liberal thought. What is unique
about Bulgakov, Catherine Evtuhov explains in her introduction to
this book, is that he bridges two worlds. His social thought is
firmly based in the Western tradition, yet some of his ideas
reflect a specifically Russian way of thinking about society.
Though arguing strenuously in favor of political and social
liberty, Bulgakov repudiates the individualistic basis of Western
liberalism in favor of a conception of human dignity that is
compatible with collectivity. His economic theory stresses the
spiritual content of life in the world and imagines national life
as a kind of giant household. Bulgakov's work, with its singularly
postmodern balance between Western and non-Western, offers
fascinating implications for those in the process of reevaluating
ideologies in post-Soviet Russia and in America as well.
