The Philosophy of Freedom

Nicholas Berdyaev's 1911 work explores profound themes of freedom, individuality, and creativity, reflecting his early philosophical development. This first English translation compiles previously published journal articles alongside original chapters, providing insights into his thought process during a pivotal period. The text also highlights Berdyaev's engagement with lesser-known thinkers, enhancing his exploration of spirituality. Notably, the appended article "A Refined Thebaid (The Religious Drama of Huysmans)" plays a crucial role in understanding his philosophical framework.
