2000 Years of Christian Culture. In 2 Volumes
39.99 €
This monograph by renowned philosopher, cultural scientist, and art historian V.V. Bychkov offers a unique exploration of the formation, development, and existence of Christian culture over its nearly two-thousand-year history, informed by artistic and aesthetic consciousness, drawing on the Eastern Christian (Orthodox) realm: patristics, Byzantium, the Southern Slavs, Ancient Rus', and Modern Russia. The book analyzes a comprehensive range of phenomena, including Christian symbolism (the understanding of image, symbol, allegory, and sign), antinomianism, the concepts of spiritual eros, creation, and creativity, beauty, and art; the actualization of the spatio-temporal continuum in art; and focuses on such phenomena as the icon (its theology, philosophy, and artistic language), the aesthetics of asceticism, and the liturgical synthesis of the arts, among others. The first volume covers early Christianity and Byzantium. The second covers Christian culture from the baptism of the southern and eastern Slavs to the 20th century.
