Thinking Oneself into Nature

View through CrossRef
This chapter examines Ivan Turgenev's personal and literary encounter with Sergei Aksakov, focusing on the philosophical and aesthetic implications of his second review of Aksakov's classic hunting treatise, then turns to Turgenev's story “The Inn” as an unyielding embodiment of the principles set forth in the review. For Turgenev, Aksakov represented an admirable model of unselfconscious, ecotropic nature description that was nonetheless difficult for him to follow. The chapter also discusses the governing contrast for Turgenev that is not typically center versus periphery, but who is subordinated versus who subordinates. It also talks about Turgenev's scorn for the anthropotropic mode and his most direct and profound observations about the natural world.
