- Book Synopsis
- This addition to Copleston's covers Russian thought from the eighteenth century to Lenin and the post-Stalin period. Frederick Copleston was Professor of the History of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Theology at London University. This eleven-volume work is one of the most remarkable single-handed scholarly enterprises of modern times. Volume 10 covers Mikhail Bakunin, Nikolai Bukharin, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Alexander Herzen, Vladimir Lenin, George Plekhanov and Leo Tolstoy. In the course of tracing the evolution of philosophical thought in Russia from the time of Catherine the Great into the present century, the author devotes careful analysis to radical thinkers, Marxists and the relevant ideas of the great Russian writers. He also includes a discussion on Russian thinkers in exile. Brimming with detail and enthusiasm, A History of Philosophy gives an accessible account of philosophers from all eras and explains their works in relation to other philosophers. Each volume is an ideal guide for students studying specific eras and as a set offers a complete and unrivalled overview of the entire western philosophical tradition.
