War, Progress, and the End of History, Including a Short Story of the Anti-Christ - Hardcover

by Vladimir Soloviev (Author), Alexander Bakshy (Translator)

Vladimir Soloviev's War, Progress, and the End of History is a philosophical and theological exploration of humanity's moral trajectory and its implications for history's culmination. Soloviev critiques the notion of unbridled progress, arguing that true advancement must align with spiritual and ethical principles. He examines the role of war as both a destructive force and a paradoxical catalyst for moral reflection. Ultimately, Soloviev reflects on eschatology, suggesting that history will culminate in divine justice and the establishment of God's kingdom, offering profound insights into the tension between human ambition and eternal truths.
