A History of Russian Social Thought, is more than the title suggests; it is a history of Russian literature, broadly conceived, including creative writing (poetry, fiction), social criticism, and philosophy. It is also a history of the Russian intelligentsia and its struggle for the rights of the individual, for the well-being of the people, for socialism, and against the tsarist autocracy. Throughout, the author pays particular attention to how each writer understands the relationship of the individual to society.
Book Two begins with the literary and social critic, Vissarion Belinsky, whom Ivanov Razumnik calls, “the banner of the Russian intelligentsia,” not just a literary critic but the creator of the intelligentsia’s ethico-sociological worldview. He then turns to the “Great Schism” between Westerners and Slavophiles, which he follows with a detailed discussion of how Alexander Herzen created of Narodism (“Russian socialism”) by synthesizing the two. Book Two concludes with the revolutionism and nihilism of the 1860s, focusing on Nikolai Chernyshevsky, Nikolai Dobrolyubov, and Dmitry Pisarev.
