Description: The Destiny of Man by Nikolai Berdyaev, Boris Jakim Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description 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. His 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.In The Destiny of Man, Nikolai Berdyaev sketches the plan of a new ethics that will be knowledge, not only of good and evil, but also of the tragedy that is constantly present in moral experience-and that complicates all of mans moral judgments. It emphasizes the crucial importance of the personality and of human freedom. This new ethics will interpret moral life as a creative activity. It will be an ethics of free creativeness, an ethics that combines freedom, compassion, and creativeness.

They are as intensely alive now as when they were first written."-Richard Pevear, translator of War and Peaceand The Brothers Karamazov"Nikolai Berdyaevs 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 HistoryBoris Jakim has translated and edited many books in the field of Russian religious thought.
