Written at the beginning of the world apocalypse which was World
War II, The Beginning and the End is Nikolai Berdyaev's main book
on eschatology. He describes his book as an "essay in the
epistemological and metaphysical interpretation of the end of the
world, of the end of history"; hence he calls it an "eschatological
metaphysics." For Berdyaev the end of the world is a divine-human
enterprise: man not only endures the end, but he also prepares the
way for it. Man's creative activity is needed for the coming of the
kingdom of God: God is in need of this activity and awaits it.
Berdyaev tells us that the eschatological outlook is not limited to
the prospect of the end of the world; it embraces every instant of
life. This is how he puts it: "What one needs to do at every moment
of one's life is to put an end to the old world and to begin a new
world."
