Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - If Dostoevsky claimed that all Russian writers of his day 'came out from Gogol's 'Overcoat, '' then Edith W. Clowes boldly expands his dramatic image to describe the emergence of Russian philosophy out from under the 'overcoat' of Russian literature. In Fiction's Overcoat, Clowes responds to the view, commonly held by Western European and North American thinkers, that Russian culture has no philosophical tradition. If that is true, she asks, why do readers everywhere turn to the classics of Russian literature, at least in part because Russian writers so famously engage universal questions, because they are so 'philosophical' Her answer to this question is a lively and comprehensive volume that details the origins, submergence, and re-emergence of a rich and vital Russian philosophical tradition. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Russian philosophy emerged in conversation with narrative fiction, radical journalism, and speculative theology, developing a distinct cultural discourse with its own claim to authority and truth.

Historians and cultural critics will find in Clowes's book the story of the increasing refinement and diversification ofRussian cultural discourse, philosophers will find an alternative to the Western philosophical tradition, and students of literature will enjoy the opportunity to rethink the great Russian novelists--particularly Dostoevsky, Pasternak, and Platonov--as important voices in t.…
