Nikolai Berdyaev

This collected volume brings attention to the understudied work of the Russian philosopher, theologian, and Christian existentialist, Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948), showing that his philosophy is important for the present and future. It appeals to students, researchers and the general audience in revealing that through Berdyaev, humanity does not simply evolve from the biological to the technological but rather it is a presence and spiritual experience that places beings in the cosmos and provides real meaning.  This edited volume presents contributions from a diverse group of scholars filling a lacuna in the scholarship of this classical thinker.
