The history of ideas has played a central role in Russia's
political and social history. Understanding its intellectual
tradition and the way the intelligentsia have shaped the nation is
crucial to understanding the Russia of today. This new history
examines important intellectual and cultural currents (the
Enlightenment, nationalism, nihilism, and religious revival) and
key themes (conceptions of the West and East, the common people,
and attitudes to capitalism and natural science) in Russian
intellectual history. Concentrating on the Golden Age of Russian
thought in the mid nineteenth century, the contributors also look
back to its eighteenth-century origins in the flowering of culture
following the reign of Peter the Great, and forward to the
continuing vitality of Russia's classical intellectual tradition in
the Soviet and post-Soviet eras. With brief biographical details of
over fifty key thinkers and an extensive bibliography, this book
provides a fresh, comprehensive overview of Russian intellectual
history.
