Review of the book by Kutyrev V.A. Last kissing. Man as the tradition. - SPb.: Aletheia, 2015. -312 p. - ("Body of Thought" series)

Every new book by V.A. Kutyrev is always a significant event in in Russian intellectual life. His works are distinguished by a high alloy of humanism and erudition, lengthy professional criticism, pungent style, all that is needed to make every new book a novelty. Customarily Vladimir warns the reader against degradation in a new, criticizing postmodernism / transmodern and reveals the meaning of history as a human tradition. The end of history is seen more in Parmenides and Kant, that ushered knowledge based understanding of reality. Apart from the tragic dialectic of history, it is proved quite a sensible idea - not everything that is technically possible, should be put into practice. Ethical control must implemented by philosophers, as for atomic bombs and Hadron Collider - they should be displayed as museum exhibits. Kutyrev's philosophy of conservative romantic resistance is simple and elegant - put the life above the quest of meaning. The proclamation of deep ecology as care about the things around us is done in the best traditions of Russian literature and Orthodox Sofia.
