My book project is a study of Russian philosophical thought and its transition from the 1990s to the 2000s. During the project period of 1 June to 1 August 2012, I will complete the manuscript's sixth and final chapter: an analysis of the work of philosopher Vladimir Bibler (1918-2000), whose late writing I see as a transitional moment between these two decades, and whose 1990s writings on the role of Russian philosophy in the West both anticipated and informed similar debates in the 2000s. Having completed the writing of the first five chapters of the book, my project during summer 2012 will comprise two stages. First, I will begin with a two-week research trip to the archives of the Institute of Philosophy in Moscow, Russia, where Bibler's unpublished late notebooks are held. Second, upon return to my home institution I will spend the remaining seven weeks writing up this sixth chapter, thereby completing the manuscript in time for fall 2012 submission.
