Russian Intellectual History: from Enlightenment to Marxism (translated by Lin History of Thought)
History俄国思想史：从启蒙运动到马克思主义（译林思想史）
(poland) Andrzej Walicki
Using the history of European thought as a mirror, this book provides a panoramic introduction to the historical process of the development of Russian thought for more than a hundred years from the period of Catherine II to the early 20th century. In the author's opinion, the 18th and 19th centuries in Russia constituted a cultural era with distinctive characteristics, making it easier for people to regard it as a structural whole. It was during this era that intellectuals as a group emerged in Russia. Their thinking about the fate of Russia and their own mission had important ideological historical significance; their thinking around the main axes of tradition and modernity, Russia and the West, populism and Marxism showed the process of Russian thinkers' acceptance and refutation of Western ideas, and also helped to construct the development context of the entire European intellectual history.
