Description

The Destiny of Man by Nikolai Berdyaev

Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948) believed the twentieth century would mark the end of atheistic positivism and herald a new era of spiritual awakening. His philosophy transcends rational conceptualization to reach authentic existence—the profound layers of being in contact with the divine world.

A Revolutionary Approach to Christian Ethics

In The Destiny of Man, Berdyaev presents a new ethical framework that acknowledges not only good and evil but the tragedy inherent in moral experience. This ethics emphasizes personality, human freedom, and moral life as creative activity. It combines freedom, compassion, and creativeness into a unified philosophical vision.

Berdyaev directed his philosophical efforts—and his personal and public life—toward replacing the kingdom of this world with the kingdom of God. His approach invites readers to tap into divine creative powers that constitute human nature, positioning humanity as collaborators with God in His continuing creation.

Critical Acclaim

"Nikolai Berdyaev's 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 of War and Peace and The Brothers Karamazov

"Nikolai Berdyaev's 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 of Modern 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 of The Apocalypse of History

Translation by Boris Jakim

Boris Jakim has translated and edited numerous books in Russian religious thought, including S. L. Frank's The Unknowable, Pavel Florensky's The Pillar and Ground of the Truth, Vladimir Solovyov's Lectures on Divine Humanity, and Sergius Bulgakov's The Bride of the Lamb.
