In this prophetic, millennial work, written by Russia's greatest philosopher at the end of the last century, the great task facing humanity as progress races to end history is the resistance to evil. Solovyov addresses what seem to him the three main trends of our time: economic materialism, Tolstoyan abstract moralism, and Nietzschean hubris -- the first is already present, the second imminent, while the last is the apocalyptic precursor of the Antichrist.In this prophetic work, Solovyov sees the great task facing humanity as the question of evil. The archetype of evil is presented in a legend set at the end of this century, which tells of a great man who deceives the world and who can only be defeated through a widespread spiritual awakening.
