Vladimir Soloviev — Russia's most formidable 19th-century philosopher — launches a sweeping indictment of Western rationalism in Crise de la Philosophie Occidentale, arguing that the entire tradition from Descartes to Schopenhauer has led European thought into a profound and irrecoverable dead-end. Translated and introduced by Maxime Herman, Professor at the Faculté des Lettres de Lille, this French edition makes Soloviev's landmark 1874 doctoral dissertation accessible to a broader readership, presenting his rigorous critique of abstract empiricism and idealism in equal measure. Soloviev's central thesis — that Western philosophy has fatally severed reason from faith, the individual from the universal, and knowledge from living reality — anticipates many of the great existential and phenomenological debates of the 20th century. Writing with the precision of a logician and the conviction of a mystic, he constructs a vision of integral knowledge that synthesises science, philosophy, and theology into a unified whole. For any serious student of Continental philosophy or Russian intellectual history, this volume raises a question that remains stubbornly unanswered: can reason, left to its own devices, ever find its way home?
