Summer Session I, May 30 - June 29, 2023

Late Soviet (1953-1991) Russian philosophies reflect psychologically profound, ethically oriented, humanist personalisms that prize freedom, human rights, and relational independence. These diverse metaphysicians generate brilliant, pluralist, humanizing meaning in defiance of cruelty and censorship, drawing inspiration from naturalism, historicism, psychology, lierary theory, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Taoism. All texts are in English translation, and the course will feature English lecture and discussion. No Russian knowledge is required. Russian track available. OCS accredited.
