Wilhelm Goerdts' "Russian Philosophy" is indeed an astonishing, richly detailed, and highly informative study that reflects thorough research and analysis, showcasing the author as an excellent connoisseur of Eastern European intellectual history. Undoubtedly, his work is an important contribution to research that provides a glimpse into the breadth and diversity of Russian thought, while also reminding us that it is now time to incorporate Russian philosophy and Russian thinking more prominently into our reflections and discussions. Goerdts' immensely rich and instructive work is a significant contribution to a scarcely explored field. It presents the inexhaustible possibilities of a way of thinking (also influential in literature and journalism) that navigates between Christian spirituality and materialism, mysticism and nihilism in modernity.
