Nikolai Alexandrovich Dobrolyubov (1836-1861) became perhaps the foremost Russian philosopher and literary critic during his short but extremely productive life of only twenty-five years. An eminent Russian thinker, his works include texts on philosophy, sociology, aesthetics, literary criticism, ethics and pedagogics. The misrepresentation of his ideas by Marxists may be one reason why he is so little known in the West. For example the 14th Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica grants him only brief mention. Strongly influenced by Hegel, Bruno Bauer, and Feurbach, this young genius unified literary and social criticism to an extent rare in world letters while thirsting for a just balance between personal freedom and social harmony. This fat volume contains excellent translations of many of his masterpieces including "What is Oblomoshchina?" "Realm of Darkness," and "When Will the Day Come?" The middle magisterial essay must surely rank among the very best literary critical essays written in any language.

The late Leszek Kolakowski was one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. A prominent anticommunist writer, Kolakowski was also a deeply humanistic thinker, and his meditations on society, religion, morality, and culture stand alongside his political writings as commentaries on intellectual—and everyday—life in the twentieth century. Kolakowski’s extraordinary empathy, humor, and erudition are on full display in Is God Happy?, the first collection of his work to be published since his death in 2009. Accessible and wide ranging, these essays—many of them translated into English for the first time—testify to the remarkable scope of Kolakowski’s work. From a provocative and deeply felt critique of Marxist ideology to the witty and self-effacing “In Praise of Unpunctuality” to a rigorous analysis of Erasmus’ model of Christianity and the future of religion, these essays distill Kolakowski’s lifelong engagement with the eternal problems of philosophy and some of the most vital questions of our age.

Though most historians remember her as the mistress of Voltaire, Emilie Du Châtelet (1706–49) was an accomplished writer in her own right, who published multiple editions of her scientific writings during her lifetime, as well as a translation of Newton’s Principia Mathematica that is still the standard edition of that work in French. Had she been a man, her reputation as a member of the eighteenth-century French intellectual elite would have been assured. In the 1970s, feminist historians of science began the slow work of recovering Du Châtelet’s writings and her contributions to history and philosophy. For this edition, Judith P. Zinsser has selected key sections from Du Châtelet’s published and unpublished works, as well as related correspondence, part of her little-known critique of the Old and New Testaments, and a treatise on happiness that is a refreshingly uncensored piece of autobiography—making all of them available for the first time in English. The resulting volume will recover Châtelet’s place in the pantheon of French letters and culture.
