Sinopsis

The great Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948) believed that the dawn of the twentieth century would bring an end to the old atheistic and positivistic worldview and the beginning of a new era of the spirit.áHis philosophy goes beyond mere rational conceptualization and tries to attain authentic life itself: the profound layers of existence in contact with the divine world. He directed all his efforts-philosophical as well as in his personal and public life-at replacing the kingdom of this world with the kingdom of God. According to him, we can all attempt this by tapping the divine creative powers that constitute our true nature. Our mission is to be collaborators with God in His continuing creation of the world.InáThe Meaning of History, Nikolai Berdyaev examines the fundamental problems of the philosophy of history. For him, the philosophy of history is a science of the spirit bringing us into communion with the mysteries of spiritual life. The real philosophy of history is that of the triumph of authentic life over death, of manâÇÖs participation in another reality much deeper and richer than the external reality in which he is immersed. The history of man and the world is rooted in 'celestial history,' in the deepest interior spiritual life, which can be equated with heavenly life, the life of eternity, the life of God. The source of history lies in the experience of the human spirit in direct communion with the divine spirit.á'Nikolai BerdyaevâÇÖs writings are always insightful, penetrating, passionate, committed-expressions of the whole person. They are as intensely alive now as when they were first written.'-Richard Pevear, translator ofáWar and PeaceandáThe Brothers Karamazov'Nikolai BerdyaevâÇÖs writings retain their freshness as vehicles for thinking not just about the future of Russia, but about the spiritual challenges facing the modern world.'-Paul Vallier, author ofáModern Russian Theology: Bukharev, Soloviev, Bulgakov'Nikolai Berdyaev is one of the few who have found the Christian answer, and yet do not cease to question with those whose lives are still torn asunder by disbelief, doubt, and sufferings, one of the few who dare to be, as thinkers, Christians and, as Christians, thinkers.'-Evgeny Lampert, author ofáThe Apocalypse of HistoryBoris Jakim has translated and edited many books in the field of Russian religious thought. His translations include S. L. FrankâÇÖsáThe Unknowable, Pavel FlorenskyâÇÖsáThe Pillar and Ground of the Truth, Vladimir SolovyovâÇÖsáLectures on Divine Humanity, and Sergius BulgakovâÇÖsáThe Bride of the Lamb.
