About This Item
An unlikely political pamphlet by the prominent Russian religious philosopher Nikolai Losski (1870-1965). The pamphlet was published by the Russian Constitutional Democratic Party, which was founded in the aftermath of the 1905 Revolution, and of which Losskii was a member. Despite the presence of revolutionary factions early on, by 1906 more moderate voices dominated the Party, which eventually endorsed the constitutional monarchy. Losskii, who was a philosophy professor at St. Petersburg University at the time of the pamphlet's publication, focuses more on ethics than the politics of the Constitutional Democratic Party. He emphasizes the democratic nature of the Party and its "care and respect" for all members of society rather than privileging one, such as workers or peasants, above all others, a position that accorded with his neo-idealist philosophy. He also explains that the Party believes in the self-governance of all peoples living in the Russian empire and would guarantee religious freedom. This was the only political publication by Losskii, who left the Party and moved away from politics soon after. KVK and OCLC show print copies at Yale, Kansas, Princeton, Stanford, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Stuttgart and Manchester.
