Nikolay Berdyayev's Philosophical Attitude: Epitemoligy, Metaphysics, and Ethics

Nikolay Berdyayev, the Russian religious and political philosopher, observed three revoloutions in Russia and two world wars in his life. After 1917 revoloution in Russia, he was a distinguished professor of philosophy in the state university of Moskow for a short time. But, his criticisms about bolshevic's manner led him to be exiled from Russia in 1922. Berdyayev is one of thinkers who try to develop a Christian worldview. As a moralist social philosopher, he authored numerous essays and books in his life. Specially, he has developed a solipsistic philosophy in details and suggested new ideas as a Christian existentialism. His philosophical method is intutionistic and laconic rather than argumentative and systematic. In this paper, we discuss and criticize Berdyayev's Philosophical attitude in three fields of epitemoligy, metaphysics, and ethics.
