Book Description:
|
Approaching Vladimir Soloviev through a single synoptic lens, this foregrounds his unique envisioning of the interaction between humanity and the material world. By investigating the development of a single theme in his work--his idea of the 'spiritualization of matter', the 'task' of humanity--Smith constructs a rounded picture of Soloviev's overall importance to an understanding of nineteenth-century thought, as well as to modern theology and philosophy.
