Abstract
This thesis project, titled At the Foot of the Cross: A Biographical Portrait of Pyotr Yakovlevich Chaadaev, follows the story of the preeminent Russian philosopher Pyotr Chaadaev. Declared a madman by his government in 1836, this thesis explores the rationale behind the claim of his madness while also expanding the portrait of his life beyond the limited coverage that he usually receives. This work is an amalgamation of microhistorical biography, intellectual history, and cultural history in the hopes of filling out a picture of what life in the nineteenth century Russian Empire for a nobleman and Europe as a whole.
