At first glance, it seems that the concept of "civilization" has long been firmly established in our linguistic vocabulary. However, the opposite is true: the concept of "civilization" appeared in European languages only in the second half of the 18th century, and was first recorded in Russian only in 1830. In this book, we will attempt to answer the following questions: What exactly prompted European thinkers to "invent" this new word? Why did politicians and publicists in Russia, when discussing the development of human society, for so long dispense with the concept of "civilization," only to find a need for it in the late 1820s? What is the historical relationship between the two competing terms—"civilization" and "culture"? How and when did the concept of a distinct "Russian civilization" emerge? Read all about this in the book by Mikhail Velizhev, professor of the School of Philology, Faculty of Humanities, National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow), specialist in the intellectual history of Russia and modern Europe, and historian of Russian literature and culture of the imperial period.
