Publisher Description:

In this prophetic, millennial work, written by Russia's greatest philosopher at the end of the last century, the great task facing humanity as progress races to end history is the resistance to evil. Solovyov addresses what seem to him the three main trends of our time: economic materialism, Tolstoyan abstract moralism, and Nietzschean hubris--the first is already present, the second imminent, while the last is the apocalyptic precursor of the Antichrist.

Contributor Bio(s): Beyer, Thomas R.: -
Thomas R. Beyer Jr. was born in 1947 in Brooklyn, New York, where he attended Xaverian HS. He is a graduate of Georgetown University (1969) and the University of Kansas (1974). For the past thirty-five years he has been a Professor of Russian at Middlebury College in Vermont. He is the author of more than a dozen books for learning Russian and several translations of the Russian novelist Andrei Bely. Considered an expert on Russian writers in Germany and the United States, Professor Beyer has lectured extensively in Russia, Germany, and the United States. For the past few years he has offered seminars on the works of Dan Brown, designed to permit students and readers separate fact from fiction.
Solovyov, Vladimir: - Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900), one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, was the founder of a tradition of Russian spirituality that brought together philosophy, mysticism, and theology with a powerful social message. A close friend of Dostoevsky, a Platonist, and a gnostic visionary, Solovyov was a prophet, having been granted three visions of Sophia, Divine Wisdom. He was also a poet and a profoundly Christian metaphysicist. His most important works include Lectures on Divine Humanity; The Justification of the Good; and War, Progress, and the End of History.
