The book by the historian of Russian philosophy N.K. Bonetskaya is a study of the work of Dmitry Merezhkovsky as a religious thinker. To what area of humanitarian knowledge, the sciences of the spirit, do his views belong? Even contemporaries asked themselves this far from idle question. Merezhkovsky is the creator, on Russian soil, of philosophical anthropology and hermeneutics; liberal theologian, founder of a sect; philosopher of religion and gifted gnostic: under the pen of the author of the monograph, Merezhkovsky appears as one of the fathers of Silver Age culture. The book is intended for everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of the Russian spirit - the recent history of Christianity. The religious philosophy of the Silver Age, in its ambiguity, was a daring challenge to tradition, and this challenge now requires an answer. It is the awareness of this fact that is one of the concerns of the author of this work. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
