The collection of works by Vladimir Borisovich Avdeev (born in 1962), a member of the Union of Writers of the Russian Federation since 1993, one of the first to begin to develop issues of the theory of neo-paganism, is devoted to the problems of the formation of racial consciousness. Metaphysical anthropology is a new philosophical direction designed to develop a coherent worldview system. This is especially true for Russia, which has overcome communist dogma and is busy searching for its worthy place in a changed world. With this collection, V. B. Avdeev, the author of two novels and the acclaimed book “Overcoming Christianity” (1994), sums up a certain stage in the formation of ideological and philosophical development. The articles included in the collection, subordinated to a single concept, have already been published in print and cover the period from 1995 to 1999. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in problems of the philosophy of religion and culture.
