Since Antiquity, philosophy has been in the shadow of its powerful sisters, first religion, then science.
Modern Russian philosophy found itself in an even more difficult position: sandwiched between sociology and cultural studies, it almost disappeared. However, it is precisely today that the demand for philosophy in society is especially great: only by philosophical methods can the most urgent task be solved — the transformation of the archaic Russian “intelligentsia” into versatile and Western-style active and “intellectuals”. The collection is a collection of philosophical manifestos and conversations with the most prominent figures of modern Russian philosophy — from the Buddhist scholar Alexander Pyatigorsky to the conceptualist Dmitry Prigov, from the conservative Alexander Dugin to the liberal Mikhail Epstein.
