I’m about 50 pages in and it’s blowing my mind. Finally a concept of god, salvation history and man that really takes the myth of creation, the fall and the incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ seriously. Very refreshing.

Berdyaev’s tone isn’t very typically Russian though. He engages with a lot of German philosophy and the scholastics, Kierkegaard and Bergson, even some mystics like Jakob böhme. Very interesting.
I’ve heard him being described as the most well read Russian of the 20th century.

So far mostly Thomas aquinas, as berdyaev is turning against aristotelianism in theology. He has the concept of the godhead in motion as he wants to introduce a tragic dynamic to gods inner life which would render the whole of salvation history intelligible.

I'm glad finally /lit/ discovers Berdyaev. The Destiny of Man is in my opinion his best work, but all of them are worthwhile. A truly outstanding Christian thinker that deserves to be rediscovered.

He interacts with the scholastics, mostly Aquinas, through the work of his friend Jacques Maritain. Despite being good friends they did not agree on a lot of stuff.
