Description
The appearance of "Problems of Idealism" in 1902 was a watershed in the vibrant cultural renaissance known as the Russian Silver Age. A collection of 12 essays by some of Russia's most important philosophical thinkers, this volume has become a classic in the history of Russian thought. Its exploration of the philosophical foundations of liberalism - personhood, autonomy, law, progress - represents a high achievement in the rich Russian tradition of social thought. This translation makes the original anthology available to English-language readers. In a comprehensive introduction, Randall Poole places the volume in its historical context and assesses its significance.
