Soloviev, Vladimir, 1853-1901. The heart of reality: essays on beauty, love, and ethics. Edited and translated by Vladimir Wozniuk.

Soloviev (1853-1900), moral philosopher, social and literary critic, theologian, and poet, is considered one of Russia's greatest philosophers. But Soloviev is relatively unknown in the West, despite his close association with Fyodor Dostoevsky, who modeled one of his most famous literary characters, Alyosha Karamazov, on Soloviev. In The Heart of Reality, Vladimir Wozniuk offers a lucid translation, careful annotations, and a substantive introduction that make many of Soloviev's writings accessible for the first time to an English-speaking audience." "Containing many previously untranslated essays, The Heart of Reality situates Soloviev more clearly in the mainstream of Western religious philosophy and Christian thought."-- CONTENTS: Three addresses in memory of Dostoevsky -- Beauty in nature -- The universal meaning of art -- The meaning of love -- A first step toward a positive aesthetic -- The fate of Pushkin -- Mickiewicz -- Lermontov. 9780268030612 ISBN 0268030618.
