Often referred to as \"the Russian Leonardo,\" Florensky was an important figure of the Russian religious renaissance around the beginning of the twentieth century. This book shows that his philosophy, conceptualized in his theory of the icon, brings together the problem of the \"religious turn\" and the \"pictorial turn\" in modern culture, as well as contributing to contemporary debates on religion and secularism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganized around the themes of full unity and visuality, the book examines Florensky's definition of the icon as \"energetic symbol,\" drawing on St. Gregory Palamas, before offering a theological reading of Florensky's theory of the pictorial space of the icon. It then turns to Florensky's idea of space in the icon as Non-Euclidean. Finally, the icon is placed within wider debates provoked by Bolshevik cultural policy, which extend to current discussions concerning religion, modernity, and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering an important contribution from Russian religious philosophy to issues of contemporary modernity, this book will be of interest to scholars of religious philosophy, Russian studies, theology and the arts, and the medieval icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClemena Antonova\u003c\/strong\u003e is research director of the \"Eurasia in Global Dialogue\" programme, Institute for the Human Sciences, Vienna, Austria, and author of \u003ci\u003eSpace, Time, and Presence in the Icon: Seeing the World with the Eyes of God\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42699277762656,"sku":"9780367777838","price":53.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/f3a2f4d8fbcce92d38a5641341f47429.webp?v=1775836638","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/visual-thought-in-russian-religious-philosophy-pavel-florenskys-theory-of-the-icon-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
