Review of the book: Syundyukov N.K. Russian Philosophy in 7 Plots: “The Muteness of Our Faces”. Moscow, 2025. 320 p. ISBN 978-5-17-171167-2 (in Russ.)
The review examines N.K. Syundyukov’s book Russian Philosophy in 7 Plots: “The Muteness of Our Faces”, which is an attempt to reconstruct the key schools of thought in the Russian intellectual tradition of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In contrast to the prevailing historiographical approaches that interpret the Russian thought either as a peripheral variant of Western European philosophy or as an expression of messianic utopian consciousness, Syundyukov emphasizes the distinctiveness of the Russian philosophical tradition. Trying to determine the specific features of Russian philosophy, he focuses on identifying the dilemmas that require intellectual and existential choices from the thinkers. Syundyukov’s book constitutes a significant contribution to the contemporary historiography of Russian philosophy.
