Description
In his book “The Singing Heart. A Book of Quiet Contemplations” (1947), the great Russian thinker, jurist, and scholar of state affairs, publicist and literary critic Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin wrote: “It is dedicated not to theology, but to quiet philosophical praise of God… I am trying to weave the fabric of a new philosophy, thoroughly Christian in spirit and style, but completely free from pseudo-philosophical ‘theology’ like that of Berdyaev-Bulgakov-Karsavin and other dilettante heresiarchs… This is a simple, quiet philosophy—born of the main organ of Orthodox Christianity: a contemplative heart.” “There is only one true ‘happiness’ on earth—singing of the human heart. If it sings, then the person has almost everything; almost—because he still has to make sure that his heart does not become disappointed in the beloved object and does not fall silent…"
In this edition, three of the most significant works by the well-known philosopher and political thinker of the Russian diaspora, I.A. Ilyin (1883–1954), are included, providing a holistic view of his philosophical, ethical, and political views.
