Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Despite its dry title, the final work of the great Russian philosopher and theologian Vladimir Solovyov (Soloviev) unfolds more like a scene from Doestoevsky's novels than a philosophical treatise. Five characters engage in a series of lively drawing room conversations replete with wit, mockery, stories of saints, Gospel parables, and bits of brilliant Socratic dialogue. Their free-wheeling discussion dissects many of the moral and social issues that troubled nineteenth-century Russia (and resonate, if anything, even more deeply today): the ethics of violence, the relevance of Christianity in the face of cultural relativism, and a growing inability to distinguish good from evil. Written in 1900, the narrative retains a magical, timeless quality while bursting with historical references: Napolean, the Russo-Turkish wars, Boer war, even the Spanish-American and Revolutionary wars. As his protagonists skilfully trade jabs (alternately decrying war's atrocity and praising the heroic defense of national ideals, juxtaposing the longing for human brotherhood against the resilience of our capacity for evil), a character finally asks, 'But in the last resort whence arises the war between good and evil? Is it absolutely necessary for them to fight one against the other?' Solovyov brilliantly lays out his response, distinguishing between 'good peace,' as expressed in the exhortation 'My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you' and the peace which is 'bad and false.' The closing monologue, describing in modern terms the coming of the Anti-Christ, brings his work to a stunning, apocalyptic conclusion. 188 pp. Seller Inventory # 37832
