Philosophical-Religious Conception of Existential Personalism of M. Berdiaev

Abstract

1. Berdiaev's personalism is characterized by sequence of thought and systematization of the latter. Because of that one can literally name him a personalist. He believes that a man’s personality is in the core of the reality, is the central existence and absolute value. It is in the in the embryo state. It is not given as clear, full, perfect nature, but underlies a man for the further development and realization. It creates the person's backbone and essence. Complete formation and development of a man as a personality is only possible beyond the boundaries of the established reality, system and history, as they do not give a chance of absolute realization of a person in view of their determination. Freedom and spiritual being are essential for a person. They guide its way towards spiritual immaterial world, ultimately to the Lord as a Perfect Entity.
