In Russian culture there was neither Scholasticism nor Renaissance, and the problem of faith and reason was formulated most of all on the ground of  Patristic tradition. This collection of essays explores various dimensions of this alternative Russian account. It shows peculiarities of Orthodox interpretation of faith, traces the interrelations between Eastern and Western thinkers, and investigates the heritage of Russian religious philosophy, with a special attention to Pavel Florensky, Sergius Bulgakov and Georges Florovsky.
