A PHILOSOPHICAL HISTORY OF RUSSIA. THE PHILOSOPHER'S ZONE July 24, 2010.

This year marks the centenary of the death of the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy wrote works of fiction that had considerable philosophical depth. In fact he thought his most famous book, War and Peace, was not a novel at all but an examination of social and political ideas. This week we take a look at Russian philosophical thinking, mainly in the 19th and early 20th century.
