In this book, Nikolai Berdyaev examines the struggle against
slavery in its diverse forms. When he speaks of slavery and
freedom, although he also uses these terms in a political sense,
the underlying meaning is metaphysical: for Berdyaev, political
slavery and freedom are rooted in our metaphysical slavery and
freedom. The philosophy of this book is deliberately personal; it
is a philosophy of personalism. As a philosopher, Berdyaev not only
wished to gain knowledge of the world, but also to change the
world: he always denied that the things which the world presents to
us are a stable and final reality; this also goes for the relation
between slavery and freedom. For Berdyaev the spiritual liberation
of man is tied to the realization of personality; it is the
attainment of wholeness. The Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev
(1874-1948) was one of the greatest religious thinkers of the
twentieth century. His philosophy goes beyond mere thinking, mere
rational conceptualization, and tries to attain authentic life
itself: the profound layers of existence that are in contact with
God's world. Berdyaev directed all of 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 to do this by tapping the divine creative powers which
constitute our true nature. Our mission is to be collaborators with
God in His continuing creation of the world. This is what Berdyaev
said about himself: "Man, personality, freedom, creativeness, the
eschatological-messianic resolution of the dualism of two worlds -
these are my basic themes."
