Among his many publications is the volume Vechnoe solntse (Eternal Sun) (Moscow, 1979), an anthology of Russian Utopian writings.

CARYL EMERSON, professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Princeton University, is a specialist in the thought and work of Mikhail Bakhtin. Her publications include translations and editions of Bakhtins writings as well as the 1990 book Mikhail Bakhtin: Creation of a Prosaics, coauthored with Gary Saul Morson.

PIAMA P. GAIDENKO, a specialist in continental European philosophy as well as the history of Russian philosophy, heads a department at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Her essay Landmarks: An Unheard Warning was published in English translation in Russian Studies in Philosophy (Summer, 1993).

PHILIP T. GRIER is professor of philosophy at Dickinson College (Carlisle, Pennsylvania), where he specializes in Russian philosophy. Among his publications is Marxist Ethical Theory in the Soviet Union (1978) and an article on the work of George L. Kline in the book Philosophical Sovietology: The Pursuit of a Science (1988).

ALEXANDER HAARDT, who teaches at the Westflische Wilhelms-Universitt in Mnster, has done extensive research on the phenomenological movement in twentieth-century Russian philosophy, with emphasis on Gustav Shpet and Aleksei Losev. In 1993 he published Husserl in Russland: Phnomenologie der Sprache undKunst bei Gustav pet und Aleksej Losev.

BERNICE GLATZER ROSENTHAL, professor of history at Fordham University, specializes in twentieth-century Russian intellectual history. She is the author of D.S. Merezhkovsky and the Silver Age: The Development of a Revolutionary Mentality (1975) and editor of Nietzsche in Russia (1986) and Nietzsche and Soviet Culture: Ally and Adversary (1994).

JAMES P. SCANLAN, professor emeritus of philosophy at The Ohio State University, was a coeditor (with James M. Edie, Mary-Barbara Zeldin, and George L. Kline) of the three-volume anthology Russian Philosophy (1965). His book Marxism in the USSR: A Critical Survey of Current Soviet Thought was published in 1985. Scanlan is editor of the quarterly translation journal Russian Studies in Philosophy.

ANDRZEJ WALICKI is professor of history at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. His many books on Russian intellectual history include The Slavophile Controversy: History of a Conservative Utopia in Nineteenth Century Russian Thought (1975) and Legal Philosophies of Russian Liberalism (1987).

GEORGE M. YOUNG, JR., who received his Ph.D. from Yale University, is the author of the monograph Nikolai F. Fedorov: An Introduction (1979) and other works on the philosophy of Fedorov. Formerly on the faculty of Grinnell College and Dartmouth College, he is now president of the Young Fine Arts Gallery in North Berwick, Maine.

TARAS D. ZAKYDALSKY of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto wrote masters and doctors theses at Bryn Mawr College under the direction of George L. Kline. He is the author of works on the philosophy of Grigorii Skovoroda, Nikolai Fedorov, and other Russian and Ukrainian thinkers.

A striking feature of the cultural upheaval accompanying the demise of communism in Russia has been an explosion of interest in the history of Russian philosophy and particularly in the ideas of those Russian thinkers who were consigned to oblivion by the communist authorities during the Soviet period. The names of Vladimir Solov'ev, Nikolai Berdiaev, Lev Shestov, and a host of other independently minded philosophers, earlier expunged from reference books and library catalogues in the USSR, are now encountered at every turn in Russian journals, conferences, university courses, and most of all in a storm of publications of their own worksin almost every case the first publications of their writings in Russia since the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. After three-quarters of a century, Russias philosophical heritage is once again alive in the land of its origin.

The present volume is an examination of that heritage from the point of view of its actual and potential impact on Russian culture in the post communist world. The essays that comprise the volume approach the rediscovered Russian philosophical heritage in various ways, on a continuum ranging at its extremes from exclusive focus on features of the heritage itself to exclusive focus on the processes and character of its rediscovery. Most of the essays fall somewhere in between, and all are intended to illuminate the range and wealth of philosophical ideas that are once again available to the Russian intellectual community.
