PHIL3522 · Philosophy
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
While an academic philosophical tradition, which this course will survey, exists in Russia, the heart of Russian philosophy is most frequently encountered in political theory, theology, and literature. To many observers, this last category can be summed up in the word Tolstoevsky. However, as this course will demonstrate, Chekhov too was a deeply philosophical writer. This course will explore Chekhovs chief philosophical concerns, the image of the philosopher and philosophy in his work, and his place as precursor to philosophical approaches of the 20th and 21st centuries.
