A Man Is His Faith: Ivan Kireyevsky and Orthodox Christianity
The Rev. Fr. Alexey (Hieromonk Ambrose) Young
“In[...]a world, dominated by[...]a hopeless and nihilistic ideology, who is the man equipped to stand forth and speak straightforwardly? More than a hundred years ago such a man was born in Russia, a man who experienced first hand the dead-end of western civilization. Ivan Kireyevsky was a man of surpassing intelligence and culture, capable of thoroughly grasping the most exalted philosophies of the West. This book is about him, and about the way in which he finally realized the futility of western civilization, about the profound questions he raised concerning modern man, and especially about the way in which a true philosophy of life might be attained.” —“Introduction”
