俄国思想史：从启蒙运动到马克思主义

by Andrzej Walicki, 安杰伊·瓦利茨基, 刘文飞 (Translator)

本书以欧洲思想史为镜鉴，全景式地介绍了从叶卡捷琳娜二世时期到20世纪初共百余年的俄国思想发展的历史进程。在作者看来，俄国的18世纪和19世纪构成了一个具有鲜明特征的文化时代，便于人们将它视为一个结构整体。正是在这一时代，作为一个群体的知识分子在俄国出现，他们关于俄国命运、关于自身使命等问题的思考具有重要的思想史意义；他们围绕着传统与现代、俄国与西方、民粹与马克思主义等主要轴线的思考，呈现出俄国思想家对西方思想的接受和驳斥的过程，也有助于建构整个欧洲思想史的发展语境。

I came across this work as part of literary criticism in a course for 19th century Russian Literature. The essay we read was so interesting, I decided to buy the whole book, and found it even more interesting, mostly because most of the essays went beyond the literary and touched upon the development of Russian intellectual history in the 19th century as a response both to the German and French philosophical tradition, but also to major developments in Russian political life. Along with the Essays of Isaiah Berlin, this is an incredible set of essays, even if they are at times quite dense.

A good book. I needed a more thorough background on philosophy than I had to fully understand its contents. It’s ironic that all these thinkers wanted to usher in a utopian-esque socialist state and ended up by paving the way to Stalin.

An in depth account of the development of ideas in russia; religious, ideological, esthetics and theological.
Some chapters were definitely more accessible outside the academic world than others. A complicated subject does not necessarily have to be presented in a complicated language.
All in all, a really good source on the subject, but not an enjoyable read.
