THE ACTUAL THEMES OF «VEKHI»
Abstract
The paper discusses the authors’basic positions in the book «Vehi» and compares them to the contemporary context. The issues related to the reconstruction of society are proved to be timeless and to demand perfection of each individual, both in the 20th century and today, and depend to a greater degree on reforming the systems and institutions, and on changes in the individual's consciousness. It is a mistake to approach such issues on a large scale, systematically, as it has been customary in our society so far. Studying the materials of «Vekhi» provides an opportunity to understand why some social reforms do not meet the expected result.
