Ruins have accompanied man throughout his history, but he did not always notice them: those who were not interested in the past, ingenuously dismantled the remains of old buildings to build new ones. The ruins remained in such neglect for a very long time, until man came to the conclusion that they, being carriers of historical and cultural information, are an important part of his national identity. In his book Vladislav Degtyarev proposes to use ruins as a philosophical tool, a kind of magic glasses that allow us to see more clearly and distinctly some of the thinking attitudes and stereotypes of European culture of the New Age. Ruins are always in between, always fall out of classifications, but that is why they can help us to analyze the differences between past and present, natural and cultural, authentic and fake, whole and fragmentary, correct and anomalous. Vladislav Degtyarev is a culturologist and art historian, senior researcher at the Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University.
