Janos\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the 1st English translation from Russian: the Russian religious philosopher Nicholas Berdyaev's 1911 book, \"\u003cem\u003eThe Philosophy of Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e\", which combines some several journal articles previously penned by him, together with chapters written uniquely for this book.. It is among the earliest of his books, immediated preceded by his 1911 book, \"\u003cem\u003eThe Spiritual Crisis of the Intelligentsia\u003c\/em\u003e\", and followed by his 1912 tome, \"\u003cem\u003eAleksei Stepanovich Khomyakov\u003c\/em\u003e\" -- all which serve as a significant \"key\" to primary elements in his thought in this early period. Berdyaev's fundamental motifs of \u003cem\u003efreedom\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eperson\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ecreativity\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003espirit\u003c\/em\u003e -- are already quite evident, and further advanced by his rediscovery research into the thought of often for us significant yet very obscure thinkers, both Russian and foreign. In the present text, the closing appended article entitled, \"\u003cem\u003eA Refined Thebaid (The Religious Drama of Huysmans)\u003c\/em\u003e\" is significantly important in the schemata of Berdyaev's thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The 1911 \"\u003cem\u003ePhilosophy of Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e\" seems strongly to serve as a template model to Berdyaev's important work, \"\u003cem\u003eThe Destiny of Man\u003c\/em\u003e\", written 20 years later in 1931 in exile. Both books consist primarily of 2 Parts: the first section critiquing the then dominant philosophic views of the time; the section section a triadic approach dealing with the Christian revelation and the correlative creative human ethical response to God in a schemata of threefold stages. The \"Huysmans\" chapter in our present text provides an especially significant \"key\" as to a source of Berdyaev's triadic approach, and to his intuitions on the philosophy of history and other areas of his religio-philosophic thought. Misperceptions arise from approaching isolated aspects of his thought when isolated from the integral entirety. Hence the importance of Berdyaev's early books and articles to better an understanding into his \"matured\" later works, which has been the crux of our efforts as an English translator of N. A. Berdyaev's works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The present book is part of a continuing series of works of Russian Religious Philosophy in 1st English translation under our imprint of \"\u003cem\u003efrsj Publications\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51775302435104,"sku":"9780999197950","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e787081f77f5ad223a00b1dc11911f98.webp?v=1780460248","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-freedom-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
