The Soul of Russia: War and Crisis of Intellectual Consciousness, Freedom of Thought and Conscience in Orthodoxy

The name of Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev (1874-1948) - an outstanding Christian and political thinker, a preacher of the philosophy of personality and freedom in the spirit of religious existentialism and personalism - is inscribed in the history not only of Russian, but also of world culture. In the book "The Soul of Russia," famous articles by Berdyaev are presented, developing the theme of Russian national self-awareness, as well as addressing issues of war and the crisis of intellectual consciousness, freedom of thought and conscience in Orthodoxy, and much more. "The Soul of Russia is not a bourgeois soul - a soul that does not bow down before the golden calf... Russia is dear and beloved in its most terrible contradictions, in its mysterious antinomies, in its mysterious spontaneity."
