Secularism and its discontents: Religion and modernity through the eyes of Maxim Gorky and Vasily Rozanov. - 340 p.

Adviser: Theofanis G. Stavrou.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2007.

This dissertation analyzes the interplay of two specific groups in the context of the attempts at synthesis of religion and modernity in turn-of-the-century Russia. The two groups are collectively known as Godbuilders, who sought to create a godless religion that could add religious enthusiasm to the seemingly dry materialism that dominated pre-revolutionary Russian socialism, and Godseekers, the correlative theistic movement of the day that also shared the characteristic as having begun in a non-religious fashion then moved toward religion. However, this dissertation addresses the larger issue through a detailed case study consisting of one member from each group. For the purposes of this dissertation, the chosen Godbuilder is Maxim Gorky who coined the term and was its most popular advocate. The lesser known but formidable thinker Vasily Rozanov provides the Godseeking antithesis.

520 $a This dissertation analyzes the interplay of two specific groups in the context of the attempts at synthesis of religion and modernity in turn-of-the-century Russia. The two groups are collectively known as Godbuilders, who sought to create a godless religion that could add religious enthusiasm to the seemingly dry materialism that dominated pre-revolutionary Russian socialism, and Godseekers, the correlative theistic movement of the day that also shared the characteristic as having begun in a non-religious fashion then moved toward religion. However, this dissertation addresses the larger issue through a detailed case study consisting of one member from each group. For the purposes of this dissertation, the chosen Godbuilder is Maxim Gorky who coined the term and was its most popular advocate. The lesser known but formidable thinker Vasily Rozanov provides the Godseeking antithesis.
520 $a The introduction of the dissertation establishes the common ground of the two groups by introducing the broader themes of Godbuilding and Godseeking by a close examination of a report by the Godbuilder Bazarov in the pre-eminent forum of the Godseekers---the St. Petersburg Religious-Philosophical Society. The first two chapters deal with Rozanov and Gorky in the context of their specific groups and in relation to their particular ideas of Godbuilding and Godseeking. The third chapter analyzes the writing of Gorky and Rozanov about and to each other, and concludes with a comparative look at the thought of Gorky and Rozanov with an underlying goal of establishing the similarities and a sense of overlapping presuppositions of the larger movements through the correlative similarities and differences of Gorky and Rozanov. The last chapter places these religious and cultural tendencies within the broader European context by examining their relationship to the thought of the French personalist thinker Emmanuel Mainer. Finally, the epilogue concludes by picking up a sub-theme running throughout the work, which sees Godbuilding and Godseeking in the context of two twin characters from Dostoevsky's novel Demons, as a literary technique to support the overall assertion of the work---that Godbuilding and Godseeking were, in effect, two sides of the same coin.
