Title: Apology of culture
Description: "We have invited selected scholars from Russia, Poland, Spain, Ukraine, Germany and the United Kingdom to investigate in detail how Russian thinkers have combined Christianity with culture, philosophy, literature, social life and finally with their own lives. The contributors to this book analyze the visions of not only philosophers such as Vladimir Soloviv, Nikolai Berdyaev or Ivan Il'in, and theologians such as Pavel Florensky, Georgy Fedotov or Vasily Zenkovsky, but also artists such as Leo Tolstoy, Vyacheslav Ivanov or Maria Yudina and witnesses of faith, such as Mother Maria (Skobtsova). This multiperspective approach remains faithful to the integrated tradition of Russian Christian religious culture and give us a great opportunity to analyze our contemporary world under its light."--Page 8.
