The Religious Philosophy of Vladimir Solovyov: Towards a Reassessment [Hardcover]

The philosopher and poet Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900) is largely unknown to English readers, though translations of his works do exist. This book presents his central teachings and analyses his treatment of the non-Christian religions, Buddhism and Taosim in particular. This now makes it more possible to reassess his religious philosophy as a whole. The book will be of interest to students of comparative religion, theology, philosophy and Russian intellectual history.Preface - Acknowledgements - Author's Note - The Study of Mystical Thought: Methodology - The Life and Career of Vladimir Solovyov - Tradition, Scholarship and Practical Wisdom - The Central Teachings of Solovyov I - The Central Teachings of Solovyov II - Justification of the Good: Goal and Precept - Scripture and Reason: A Dual Allegiance - Solovyov's Conception of Christian Culture - A Vision of Conflict and Decline - Conclusion - Appendix I: Fyodor Dostoevsky and Vladimir Solovyov - Appendix II: Solovyov's Poem 'Panmongolism' - Notes - A List of Vladimir Solovyov's Books and Articles Examined or Referred to in this Study - Select Bibliography - IndexGPSR ComplianceThe European Union's (EU) General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a set of rules that requires consumer products to be safe and our obligations to ensure this.If you have any concerns about our products you can contact us on ProductSafety@springernature.com.In case Publisher is established outside the EU, the EU authorized representative is:Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbHEuropaplatz 369115 Heidelberg, GermanyProductSafety@springernature.com
