Understanding Russia: Breakthroughs and Dead Ends in the Development of Russian Humanitarian Thought (XVIII - early XXI centuries)
The authors analyze how the peculiarities of Russia - its history, society, and culture of Modern times-have interpreted some areas of Russian humanitarian thought. The main focus is on conservative thought. These processes of scientific and philosophical self-knowledge are traced, first, in the course of Russia's interactions with Western European civilization, with its humanitarianism and theory of knowledge, and secondly, in the context of internal transformations of cultural and civilizational and paradigmatic nature in the empire, in the Soviet and post-Soviet times.
