The fate of man and the meaning of history – the theme of Berdyaev’s historical philosophy

Abstract

Based on the basic position of religious philosophy, N.A. Berdyaev understood the history of mankind fundamentally as a spiritual history, as the history of the free and spiritual fall of man, as the history of his self-salvation, in which the fate of man is tragic, therefore the whole meaning of history lies in its end. Attention to the fate of man and the desire to liberate the free spirit of man - this is the value of Berdyaev's historical philosophy.
