Summary

In this book, an internationally acclaimed scholar writes about the passion for ideology among nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian intellectuals and the development of sophisticated critiques of ideology by a continuing minority of Russian thinkers who were inspired by liberalism. Aileen Kelly sets the conflict between utopian and antiutopian traditions in Russian thinking within the context of the shift in European thought away from faith in universal systems and "grand narratives" of progress toward an acceptance of the role of chance and contingency in nature and history
