Pavel Florensky Bücher

Pavel Florensky, a prominent Russian theologian and polymath, is celebrated for his deep engagement with cultural, artistic, and scientific advancements. After becoming an Orthodox priest in 1911, he faced Soviet arrest in 1928 but resumed his scholarly pursuits until his 1933 sentencing to ten years in Siberia. Even in captivity, he continued his scientific work and provided spiritual support to fellow inmates. This volume presents the first English translation of his compelling defense of Russian Orthodox theology, showcasing his intellectual legacy.

Translated into English, this is Pavel Florensky's final theological work. Composed in 1922, it explores the significance of the icon: its philosophic depth, its spiritual history, and its empirical technique.
