Review:
Pavel Florensky (1882-1937) was a true polymath; trained in mathematics and philosophy at Moscow University he rejected a scholarship in advanced mathematics to study theology at the Moscow Theological Academy, and was also an expert linguist, scientist, and art historian. A victim of the Soviet government's animosity towards religion, he was condemned to a Siberian labour camp in 1933 and finally executed by the communists on 8 August 1937.
Post-structural writing this is not and that's where its freshness lies. Modern Painters a welcome addition to the growing literature on this fascinating thinker. Slavic and East European Journal Lets hope that Misler's fine work becomes standard reading ... Slavonica many surprises to be found in this collection of essays ... Quirky, passionate and always interesting Slavic and East European Journal
