About the book: 2009 / The famous political scientist Sergey Kurginyan in his new book examines the question of the fate of development in Russia and the world. Kurginyan rejects two currently prevailing methods: academic, which he calls “retro,” and postmodernist. Kurginyan proposes a “third method” that requires various kinds of syntheses (current political science and political philosophy, religious metaphysics and secular philosophy, etc.). The “third method” allows Kurginyan to prove that humanism and development in the 21st century are equally hostage to the “war with History.” Kurginyan reveals the Game as the fundamental antagonist of History, who decided in the 21st century to draw a line under the Historical as such. And it shows that the removal of Russia from History through the so-called perestroika is only the first attempt at writing. And that only Russia can, returning to History, save both itself and the world. How to return to History - that’s what Sergei Kurginyan’s new book is about.
