Yet Russian Orthodoxy remained inseparable from the identity of the Russian empire-state, which at different times launched conversion campaigns not only to "save the souls" of animists and bring deviant Orthodox groups into the mainstream, but also to convert the empire's numerous Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Catholics, and Uniates. This book is the first to investigate the role of religious conversion in the long history of Russian state building. How successful were the Church and the state in...

Window on the East: National and Imperial Identities in Late Tsarist Russia
ISBN: 9780801476037 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Robert Geraci presents an exceptionally original account of both the politics and the lived experience of diversity in a society whose ethnic complexity has long been downplayed. For centuries, Russians have defined their country as both a multinational empire and a homogeneous nation-state in the making, and have alternately embraced and repudiated the East or Asia as fundamental to Russia's identity.
The author argues that the city of Kazan, in the middle Volga region, was the chief nineteenth-century site for mediating this troubled and paradoxical relationship with the East, much as...

Human Nature and the Ethics of Progress
ISBN: 9783639088373 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Throughout 20th century culture, various efforts to define the nature of progress directly contributed to competing visions of human nature. Theologians, scientists and artists struggled with one another, each group announcing different versions of the human subject based upon its definition of progress. Progress in all groups was a deeply ethical concept, one that crossed the disciplinary boundaries assumed to exist between the cultural domains. By advocating particular visions of human nature, each group offered an ethical vision for human action. This dynamic is visible in a comparative...
