The Justification of the Good

Vladimir Solovyov's exploration of human morality is rooted in the desire for God's goodness, presenting a compelling argument in "The Justification of the Good." The first part delves into inner virtues and their realization in Christ, integrating Orthodox theology with moral philosophy. The second part addresses the practical effects of Christian goodness on nationalism, war, economics, legal justice, and family. This edition features footnotes by scholar Boris Jakim and a bibliography of Solovyov's key works, marking its first new publication since 1918.
