This new English translation of Solov’ëv’s principal ethical
treatise, written in his later years, presents Solov’ëv’s
mature views on a host of topics ranging from a critique of
individualistic ethical systems to the death penalty, the meaning
of war, animal rights, and environmentalism. Written for the
educated public rather than for a narrow circle of specialists,
Solov’ëv’s work largely avoids technical vocabulary while
illustrating his points with references to classical literature
from the ancient Greeks to Goethe. Although written from a deeply
held Christian viewpoint, Solov’ëv emphasizes the turn from his
earlier position, now allegedly developing the independence of
moral philosophy from metaphysics and revealed religion.
Solov’ëv sees the formal universality of the idea of the moral
good in all human beings, albeit that this idea is bereft of
material content. This first new English-language translation in a
century makes a unique contribution to the study of Solov’ëv’s
thought. It uses the text of the second edition published in 1899
as its main text, but provides the variations and additions from
the earlier versions of each chapter in running notes. Other unique
features of this translation are that the pagination of the widely
available 1914 edition is provided in the text, and the sources of
Solov’ëv’s numerous Biblical quotations and references as well
as literary and historical allusions.
