About

Anna Reznichenko's new book on Russian philosophy of the early 20th century will provide an opportunity to delve into the world of ideas of Florensky, Ivanov, Heidegger, and their contemporaries. Anna Reznichenko's work "From Symbol to Event: Russian Philosophy in Search of Name and Face" brings together the narratives of the early 20th century and shows how the debate over symbol, personality, and language defined the contours of an entire era. Readers are invited to look closely at the dialogue of Russian thought with the European tradition. On the pages of the book, Pavel Florensky and Martin Heidegger, Vyacheslav Ivanov and Jacques Maritain, Sergey Durylin and Lev Karsavin meet. Through their texts, it becomes clearer why the philosophy of this time is closely linked to poetry, theology, and cultural life, and does not live apart from political and social changes. A separate layer of research is the theme of the symbol. Anna Reznichenko examines how the understanding of the symbol changes among different authors, how it is connected to literature and religious thought. An important line of the book is the reflection on personality. The heroes of the research try to understand how to preserve the human face in an era of wars and revolutions and what it means to be responsible for one's word. This meeting is especially interesting for those who are passionate about the humanities, engage in the history of ideas, read the philosophy of the Silver Age, or are just getting acquainted with this topic.
