	Fr Alexander Men lectures on Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Berdyaev -- is a brilliant stylist, he is a journalist, he writes vividly, aphoristically, but there too is his fiery temperament, his spirit, which all the time bubbles up like a volcano, he provides it words, and he can repeat one and the same word fifty times on one and the same page.
		Berdyaev experienced the agony of this living creature such that he wrote about this and tells about his cat with complete seriousness in a profound philosophical book of his, how through the death of this beloved living creature he comprehended the terror of non-being, the terror of dying.
		Berdyaev answered: as nothing, for this is impossible to name, this is that which is situated beyond the bounds of thought.

	Philosopher of Freedom
		In 1898 Berdyaev was arrested in a student demonstration, and was expelled from the university.
		Berdyaev also finds references to creativity in the New Testament, such as the parable of the seed falling on good soil and producing fruits, and the parable of the talents that are used profitably.
		Berdyaev also notes that "morality in our world implies the dualism of good and evil".30 In other words this means that morality, the ethics of the law, stays symbolic, unable to brake away from the limitations of the dualism, unable to reach Berdyaev's ultimate reality that lies beyond good and evil.

	Berdyaev - Vasily Zenkovsky
		Berdyaev enjoyed coming to Chelpanov's but his primary interests were in no way in agreement with those by which Chelpanov lived, whose total creativity was directed towards scholarly pursuit (primarily in psychology but in part, in general philosophical themes).
		Berdyaev liked to talk about general philosophical subjects but his primary interest at that time, and later, was completely tied to religious philosophy.
		Berdyaev was very handsome at that time, his large head with its shock of fl hair, his clothes (he always dressed, as far as I can remember, like an artist).

	Lev Shestov: Berdyaev
		Nikolai Berdyaev is undoubtedly the foremost of those Russian thinkers who have been able to obtain a hearing for themselves not only in their native country but in Europe as well.
		Berdyaev is a philosopher of culture, and his ardent devotion to the achievements of culture imperiously demands of him the acquisition of exclusive possession of all these achievements.
		For Berdyaev an existential philosophy in the style of Kierkegaard is not at all a biblical philosophy: its biblical ideas, as he expresses himself, are "too short." As "long" biblical ideas he considers those of traditional philosophy and of the mystics.

	Georges Florovsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Florovsky thus became part of the great emigration of the Russian intelligentsia, which also included Nikolai Berdyaev, Sergei Bulgakov, Nicholas Lossky, Alexander Schmemann, and John Meyendorff, the latter two of whom later followed Florovsky as Dean of Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary.
		In the 1920s, he had a close personal and vocational friendship with Nikolai Berdyaev.
		Among the critics were Sergei Nikolajevitch Bulgakov, the head of the St. Serge Institute and prominent exponent of the Russian theological tradition of the 19th century, as well as Nikolai Berdyaev, exponent of the religious renaissance of the 20th century.

	Lev Shestov - In Praise of Folly
		Berdyaev, who introduces Leontyev to the Russian reader and points out with joy and respect how independent his thought is, in the end subjects his judgments to a dogmatic critique.
		Berdyaev writes: "Merezhkovsky understood that the solution to the religious dichotomy, to the opposition of two abysses—heaven and earth, the spirit and the flesh, the pagan enjoyment of the world and the Christian renunciation of the world—does not lie in one of the Two, but in a Third, in Three.
		Berdyaev is undoubtedly a very gifted man and one will not find many writers in our literature with his command of the art of discrediting common sense and of glorifying Folly.

	Russian culture navigator
		Nikolai Berdyaev was one of the most prominent figures of the "Russian cultural Renaissance" of the early 20th century and later a leading philosopher of the Russian emigration.
		In one of his books Berdyaev insisted: "If God is present in every ill deed and suffering, in war and torture, in plague and cholera, then one cannot believe in God, then a mutiny against God is justified." This made Berdyaev create a theory of justifying God.
		Berdyaev understood and accepted Christianity only as a religion where God exists for the sake of human beings, where man is a spiritually independent creature, where there was no room for the fear of God, for punishment for sins, for the idea of hell and Doomsday.

	Boris Šinigoj
		Analogically Berdyaev, to whom the apophatic mystical tradition is very close, wants to develop that in his own way also in philosophical cognition of spirit: "A philosophy of spirit should not be a philosophy of being, that is ontology, but a philosophy of existence."
		Berdyaev interprets being as from the living spirit alienated nature, as petrified factuality of objects that have not their own existence, for they are only a result of objectivisation contrary to the living flame of the spirit that is revealing itself in primogenital existence of the subject.
		Berdyaev sets the kingdom of living spirit, that is the kingdom of freedom, mystery of a personal existence and creativity against the kingdom of being, that is the kingdom of necessity, nature, objects, steadiness and inactivity.

		During the Soviet epoch, philosophy was the most dangerous occupation in Russia, and the overwhelming majority of first-rate thinkers, such as Berdyaev, Shestov, Florensky, Bakhtin, Losev, were persecuted, exterminated, or silenced (exile, death sentence, labor camp, ban on publications, etc.).

		In this, he emphasizes the boundlessness and formlessness of the Russian national consciousness, its striving for infinity, its breadth and sweep.
		The powerful element of nature which resides in the Russian soul is, according to Berdyaev, associated with the immensity of the Russian land, with the boundlessness of the Russian plain, with a necessity and at the same time the practical difficulty of "giving form" to this land.
		In effect, Berdyaev was speaking of the fundamental mind-set of Russian civilization.

	20th WCP: Main Trends of Contemporary Russian Thought
		Such works conveyed a mysterious charm that could not be explained in terms of "truth or falsity," "persuasiveness or dubiousness." The very touch of these books, by such authors as Berdyaev, Shestov, and Bakhtin, made one feel involved in the joy and mystery of self-reflective existence.
		Nikolai Roerikh's (1874-1947) and his wife Elena Roerikh's (1879-1955) version of Oriental-Occidental esoteric synthesis — Agni-Yoga — is also being intensely promoted and publicized by hundreds of intellectual groups famous as "Roerikh centers" in Russia.
		This tendency may be identified in such diverse movements as Marxism, with the eschatological communism of Sergei Kurginyan; nationalism, with the radical traditionalism of Aleksandr Dugin; religious philosophy, with the increasing popularity of Nikolai Fyodorov's Cosmism and Daniil Andreev's "interreligious" teaching of The Rose of the World.

	Lindisfarne Books - The Russian Idea
		He traces the lineage of such powerful artists and thinkers as Chaadev, Khomyakov, Kireevksy, Leontyev, Aksakov, Hertzen, Bakunin, all of whom struggled to integrate the polarities of East and West, spirit and matter, and male and female in the Russian soul.
		Impatient with the slow processes of history, distrusting all authority and yet haunted by a vision of unity, thinkers such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Federov, and Solovyov created an original and vital religious philosophy that culminated in the Russian Renaissance at the beginning of the twentieth century.
		The fruit of these great figures, of whom Berdyaev was one (others included Florensky, Bulgakov, Rozanov, Merezhkovsky, Blok, and Bely), was cut short by the 1917 Revolution.

	Poetry As Criteria For Truth
		The written poem is but one possible snapshot or glimpse of this movement that is caught in a construct of words and images as in a freeze frame -- the still-life of the poem.
		But for Berdyaev's line of thinking one may not quite substitute the word poem with the word discursive truth, but it is a pretty close near miss.
		Actually, the poem, it seems to me, or work of art, or spell, or ritual, if it is any good, does not reduce itself to description in recursive language but tries to move beyond the reaches of recursive thought.

		Berdyaev proclaims that “the opening of a new epoch of the Spirit, which will include higher achievements of spirituality, presupposes a radical change and a new orientation in human consciousness.
