This monograph is about Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin, his life and work, which undoubtedly occupies one of the foremost places in the history of Russian religious philosophy. At the center of the Russian thinker's reflections are the problems of Russia, its history, the search for paths to the social and spiritual revival of the homeland, and questions of moral development of the individual. Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin lived in step with his time; his works are highly relevant and striking in their incisiveness, yet he simultaneously stands above his time, experiencing it both as a contemporary and with the detachment of a philosopher.
