Considered one of Russia's greatest philosophers, Vladimir Soloviev
(1853-1900) was also a theologian, historian, poet, and social and
political critic. His works have emerged to enjoy renewed attention
in post-Soviet Russia, and his concerns echo in contemporary
discussions of politics, law, and morality. In this collection of
Soloviev's essays-many translated into English for the first
time-the philosopher explores an array of social issues, from the
death penalty to nationalism to women's rights. Soloviev reacts
against the tradition of European rationalist thought and seeks to
synthesize religious philosophy, science, and ethics in the context
of a universal Christianity. In these writings he reveals the
centrality of human rights in his Christian worldview, not only as
an abstract theory but also as an inspiration in everyday life. In
a substantive introduction and copious annotations to the essays,
Vladimir Wozniuk points out distinctive and often overlooked
features of Soloviev's works while illuminating his place within
both the Russian and Western intellectual traditions.
