Ideas Against Ideocracy: Non-Marxist Thought of the Late Soviet Period 1953-1991 Epstein Mikhail
This groundbreaking work by one of the world's foremost theoreticians of culture and scholars of Russian philosophy gives for the first time a systematic examination of the development of Russian philosophy during the late Soviet period.Countering the traditional view of an intellectual wilderness under the Soviet regime, Mikhail Epstein provides a comprehensive account of Russian thought of the second half of the 20th century that is highly sophisticated without losing clarity. However, he demonstrates that it is time to reappraise Russian It provides new insights into previously mostly ignored areas such as late-Soviet Russian nationalism and Eurasianism, religious thought, cosmism and esoterism, and postmodernism and conceptualism.Epstein shows how Russian philosophy has long been trapped in an intellectual prison of its own making as it sought to create its own utopia.
