Description
Russian Thinkers by Isaiah Berlin explores the impact of Russia's outstanding writers and philosophers on its culture. Berlin examines the social and political circumstances that produced notable figures such as Tolstoy, Herzen, Bakunin, Turgenev, and Belinsky, who made significant contributions to social change. Berlin considers the philosophical ideas of these thinkers, including Tolstoy's philosophy of history, which he discusses in his essay "The Hedgehog and the Fox". This book provides a unique insight into Russian thought and culture, shedding light on the lives and works of some of Russia's most influential intellectuals. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features an introduction and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
