This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

An underrated period piece that transcends its era remarkably well

ByDillon R. Godleyon August 10, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Although not all of Konstantin Pobedonostsev's opinions can be endorsed by decent people (e.g., his hints of anti-Semitism), his argumentative concision is nothing if not delicious. Unapologetically reactionary in his sensibilities and political philosophy, he wrestles vigorously with the institutions of modern liberalism in post-Alexander II Russia: parliamentary democracy, the press, compulsory public education, the state's ambivalence towards religion, and the mores of the masses. For the modern reader, comparing Pobedonostsev to Edmund Burke is particularly fruitful—both observed epoch-defining events (the former the emancipation of Russian serfs, the latter the seductive hopes and all-too-real atrocities of the French Revolution), developed prudential insights out of concern for their respective national identities, and sought to quash the irreverence of Progress when it endangered the carefully cultivated fruits of tradition. If nothing else, his chapters "The Press," "The Malady of Our Time," and "Power and Authority" alone justify the purchase of this book and offer impressive material for further contemplation.

A Classic Exposition of Conservative Thought!

ByOdysseuson March 9, 2006

Format: Paperback

Truly, one of the greatest statements of modern conservative thought ever written. Long cast aside by historians and critics as an arch-reactionary and defender of the ancien regime, Konstantin Pobedonostsev (d. 1907), a Russian professor of law and one-time advisor to Tsars Alexander II and Nicholas II, wrote this short -- but truly magnificent -- critique of modern liberalism. REFLECTIONS easily deserves to share the same bookshelf with the likes of Edmund Burke. In short, pithy, sardonic, yet eloquent chapters, this tiny work ruthlessly rakes over the rule of "Reason and Progress" in such fields as diverse as law, marriage, politics, the press, education, and government -- to name only a few. His critique of mass democracy and popular culture is simply delicious. Pobedonostsev's work, first published in Britain in 1898, was briefly reprinted in 1964. Unfortunately, it is currently out-of-print. For anyone interested in conservative thought, this tome cannot be recommended enough!
