Politics, law, and morality

"Considered one of Russia's greatest philosophers, Vladimir Soloviev (1853-1900) was also a theologian, historian, poet, and social and political critic. His works have emerged to enjoy renewed attention in post-Soviet Russia, and his concerns echo in contemporary discussions of politics, law, and morality. In this collection of Soloviev's essays - many translated into English for the first time - the philosopher explores an array of social issues, from the death penalty to nationalism to women's rights."--BOOK JACKET.
