This original translation of a key prophetic and apocalyptic work,
written by Russia's greatest philosopher at the end of the
nineteenth century, characterizes in bold strokes and with
astonishing prescience the challenges that mankind faces as
'progress' races to bring history to an end, calling us to
vigilance and resistance to evil. The passing of more than a
century since it was first written has not caused this remarkable
text to lose any of its lustre; indeed, it is more relevant today
than when it was first penned. Solovyov describes three main trends
of his (and our) time: economic materialism, Tolstoyan abstract
moralism, and the kind of hubris that has grown so rampant in
contemporary society. For him, over a century ago, the first was
all too present, and about to explode in the rise of the Communist
State. A hollow moralism, or a 'meaning' with no core, was
beginning to develop and would soon replace almost all vestiges of
traditional values. As for hubris, greed, and evil well-disguised
as good, this is the touchstone of society at the turn of the
twentieth to the twenty-first century, and is precisely what
Solovyov describes as the apocalyptic precursor of the Antichrist.
Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900), one of the greatest philosophers of
the nineteenth century. He helped establish a rich tradition of
Russian spirituality, inspiring a whole generation of thinkers, who
followed his many-faceted spirit into diverse realms, bringing
together philosophy, mysticism, theology, poetry, and powerful
visionary experience with a trenchant social message. Solovyov was
also a prophet, having been granted three visions of Sophia, Divine
Wisdom.
