War, Progress, and the End of History: Three Conversations, Including a Short Story of the Anti-Christ (Library of Russian Philosophy);

In this prophetic, millennial work, written by Russia's greatest philosopher at the end of the last century, the great task facing humanity as progress races to end history is the resistance to evil. Solovyov addresses what seem to him the three main trends of our time: economic materialism, Tolstoyan abstract moralism, and Nietzschean hubris--the first is already present, the second imminent, while the last is the apocalyptic precursor of the Antichrist. From the Esalen-Lindisfarne Library of Russian Philosophy.
