Summary

This book brings together articles written on different occasions and at different times, but undoubtedly dictated by the author's interest in the spirituality of the Russian Silver Age and the fate of its representatives scattered throughout the world. The studies dedicated to Dostoevsky and his significance for the development of Russian religious philosophy are not accidentally placed at the beginning of the book: the writer's work plays a fundamental role in the development of Russian culture during the period defined by its participants themselves - prominent Russian intellectuals, such as the Silver Age. This is followed by texts focused on personal traits, as well as on ideological concepts of the most famous philosophers and theologians on the most significant problems of the time, such as the relationship between philosophy and theology, philosophy and literature, as well as those dedicated to Russian religious metaphysics, sophiology, etc.
