At times lively freeform conversation sparkling with wit and insight, at times making intensive use of the Socratic method of questioning, Solovyov's wide-ranging enquiries are intensely readable. Some of the conversationalists have little to no knowledge of philosophy; with this in mind, the book is made entertaining and plain-spoken, advancing deep ideas in a manner understandable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs one of Solovyov's final works prior to his death in 1900, the introduction represents the author's mature outlook, encompassing Western and Eastern religious and philosophic questions, plus a suspicion that East Asian nations were an imminent threat to Russia. This outlook proved somewhat accurate with the outbreak of war between Russia and Japan in 1904-1905, in which Japan emerged victorious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions include whether war is an inevitability given human nature, the geopolitics of the day, and how to recognize manifestations of good and evil in the world. Perhaps most distinctive however is the energetic and insightful concluding monologue on the Antichrist; incisive and stark in its portrayal, this tale offers a memorable finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7291090\"\u003eVladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantianos Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789872613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789872618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI022000\"\u003eReligious\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI019000\"\u003ePolitical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pantianos Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44482160394477,"sku":"9781789872613","price":14.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1542d983-9e4f-4197-a12a-345e686c918a.jpg?v=1700759879","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/war-progress-and-the-end-of-history-including-a-short-story-of-the-anti-christ-three-discussions-9781789872613","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
