Russian Studies and Philosophy

About this course

Russian studies and philosophy at the University of Edinburgh is a combination that brings together two disciplines with a great deal to say to each other. Russia has one of the richest literary and intellectual traditions in the world, from Pushkin and Tolstoy through Dostoevsky and Chekhov to the extraordinary creative and philosophical ferment of the twentieth century, a period in which Russian thinkers engaged with questions about freedom, history, suffering, language, and political legitimacy under conditions of quite exceptional intensity. Philosophy, concerned with the rigorous examination of the most fundamental questions, gives you the conceptual tools to engage with this tradition at its deepest levels, and Russian studies gives philosophy a rich and concrete cultural context in which these questions have been lived as well as thought.
