The Flow of Ideas: Russian Thought from the Enlightenment to the Religious-Philosophical Renaissance

Walicki traces Russian thought from the Enlightenment to Romanticism, the reign of Nicolas I, social and political ideologies of the reform and counter-reform period, philosophical and religious thought in reformed Russia, and from the turn of the 20th century to the aftermath of the first revolution. Among his topics are anti-Enlightenment trends in the early 19th century, the Slavophiles and other versions of anti-Westernism, Nikolai Chernyshevsky and the "enlighteners" of the 1860s, Vladimir Soloviev and metaphysical idealism, and the crisis of Marxism and the intellectual genesis of the religious-philosophical renaissance.
