In this book, Nikolai Berdyaev examines the fundamental problems of
the philosophy of history. For Berdyaev 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; it is the
participation of man in another reality which is 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 this experience of the human spirit which is in
direct communion with the divine spirit. 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."
