"Gordon M. Hahn's Russian Tselostnost': Wholeness in Russian Culture, Thought, History, and Politics divulges the story of Russians' spiritual, philosophical, artistic, scientific, social, and political pursuit for the unity of Heaven and Earth, of God and humankind, of spirit and matter, of the peoples of the world, of society's distinct groups and classes, and of Russia herself. Four types of Russian tselostnost' are considered in these pages: monism, universalism, communalism/collectivism, and solidarity. The aspiration for integrality and unity has endured and thrived in Russian beliefs and culture despite the long-standing tensions throughout the country's millennial history. In this ... work, Dr. Hahn profoundly analyzes the ambition to wholeness through presentations expressing tselostnost' across nearly ten centuries of Russian history in theology, philosophy, literature, the arts, science, historiography, and political, social, and economic sciences, doctrines and structures"--From back cover.
