Sommario/riassunto |
|
The book highlights the main features and trends of Russian "political" thought in an era when sovereignty, state, and politics, as understood in Western Christendom, were non-existent at all in Russia, or were only beginning to be articulated there. A comparison with Western Christendom frames the argument throughout the book. |
