Philosophical Letters
3.99 €
One of the most famous scandalous publicistic works in the history of Russia, the publication of only the first part of which caused a shock and infuriated the entourage of Nicholas I, which led to the author's declaration of insanity, isolation in his own house and a ban on writing, while ensuring the widest popularity of the "Philosophical Letters" in the educated circles of society, where they were distributed in manuscript form.
What did the "Nikolayev's dissident" write? He stated that there is only one way of progressive development of mankind - Western European; that the "special way" of Russia is lagging behind this development; that the image of God in man is contained in the desire for freedom, and love for the Motherland is not equal to love for its shortcomings and should consist in the desire to see them and eliminate them.
