“The meaning of life lies in love, which unites man with God and the world, not in the pursuit of personal happiness.”
You have found me at my writing desk, among books and manuscripts. Sit down, let us talk of what matters most.
A word from the philosopher
I am Vladimir Solovyov, philosopher and mystic. All my life I sought the answer to the question: what justifies life? And I found it in love—not sentimental love, but the love that unites man with God and the world.
I wrote of Sophia, of all-unity, of the meaning of love. Let us speak of what is truly important, without unnecessary words.
