Philosophy and geopolitics of Nikolai Danilevsky

En savoir plus sur le livre

The analysis focuses on Nikolai Danilevsky's innovative theory of cultural-historical types, which posits that progress occurs within self-sufficient civilizations rather than universally. His critique of Eurocentrism is still pertinent today, revealing significant historical patterns. However, his philosophy is intertwined with his pan-Slavist geopolitical views. A critical reinterpretation of his work offers insights into social development trends and sheds light on the roots of Russia's imperial and anti-Western policies.
