- W4210568076 abstract "6io Reviews many commentators. In this interesting book Edith W. Clowes traces the emergence ofRussian philosophical discourse inand through literarydiscourse and discourse on literature,centring on the 'birth' ofRussian philosophy between the I87os and I920S. The central focus of the study falls on thework ofVladimir Solov'ev, Lev Shestov, Vasilii Rozanov, and Nikolai Berdiaev, with reflectionson a prehistory in theworks of Vissarion Belinskii and Nikolai Chernyshevskii and 'survival' in theworks ofAleksei Losev, Andrei Platonov, and Boris Pasternak. Clowes's thesis is that although Western, especially German, philosophical ideas were widely received inRussia, theydid not initially lead to thedevelopment of aRus sian philosophy since philosophical language found resistance among literaryscholars and activistswho sought toovercome thedivision between abstract philosophical and socio-ethical concerns. Itwas not until the laterpart of thenineteenth century that a trulyphilosophical discourse began to emerge, but itdid so in the formof a peculiar variety of literarygenres rather than systematic philosophical exposition. Appeals to non-rational, mystical, and personalist motifs opposed the abstract system-building ofGerman idealists, and theywere articulated in texts thatmaintained a profoundly ambivalent relationship with theirGerman sources. These textsbegin to flourish in the period before theRevolution, when the spiritual roots of thisway of thinking and opportunities topublish such material came under pressure. Nevertheless, such philosophizing survived in theworks of both philosophers such as Losev and writers such as Platonov and Pasternak, the latterofwhom has eschewed a promising philo sophical career as amember of the Marburg School of neo-Kantianism in favour of a career as a philosophical novelist. This study has much to recommend it,not least the attention given to the generic features of Russian philosophical discourse and theway inwhich this never quite made the transition to systematic philosophy. The close scrutiny of particular texts will also greatly assist students of Russian philosophical and literary culture who follow.However, one constantly has the impression that counter-examples could be given. Gustav Shpet's attempts topopularize and develop phenomenology inRussia represent important strivings towards clarity and systematicity, although his work constantly fell victim to the combined effects of theGerman idealist penchant for abstraction and the tendency for mystical fuzziness among Russian 'philosophizers' that he tried, unsuccessfully, to overcome. Similarly, the reception of Lebensphiloso phie, Volkerpsychologie, and, ultimately, of social theory in the periods discussed here remains largely unexplored. Thus, the new types of philosophical discourse that emerged in thework of the populists and, especially, in figures such as Georgii Plekhanov are not subjected to any serious examination, nor are grounds for their exclusion offered. This is especially curious given the proletarian commitments of Platonov. Furthermore, the emergence ofmainstream philosophical journals such as Novye ideiv filosofii andVoprosy filosofili ipsikhologii isnotdiscussed. Althoughthe book's focus falls outside these areas, they nevertheless provide significant features of the environment inwhich the philosophical works discussed emerged and against which, to a significant extent, they defined themselves. This text, therefore, can be warmly welcomed and recommended, but it requires much supplementation. UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD CRAIGBRANDIST The Ethics of thePoet: Marina Tsvetaeva's Art in theLight of Conscience. By UTE STOCK. (MHRA Texts and Dissertations, 62) Leeds: Maney. 2005. xii + I77 PP. ?35. ISBN 978-1-904350-4I-5. Marina Tsvetaeva's ethical thought is an aspect of her work which has been largely overlooked. Indeed, widespread views of thepoet as being either immoral or amoral, MLR, I02.2, 2007 6ii devoted toher art at theexpense of all other concerns, seem to suggest thatan attempt to set out an account of the development and practical application of Tsvetaeva's ethical thought isunlikely toprove illuminating.Ute Stock sets outwith the intention to rehabilitate Tsvetaeva as 'an ethically committed author' (p. 2), and in thecourse of thisbook she does just that,providing a convincing and lucid exploration of how the poet established and applied her own ethics,which emerged fromher own particular position as a poet. Stock argues that the view of Tsvetaeva as a poet who lived her life for art's sake alone ismistaken, and that her approach to art,which has been seen as highly idiosyncratic and excessively subjective, actually amounts to an ethical strategydevised todefend artistic freedom against theoverriding literaryand political attitudes ofher time.Tsvetaeva's suicide is interpreted in thecontext ofher..." @default.
