Summary/Abstract: Can a man think of the world without thinking of God, the creator of the world? The metaphysics of understanding the man as a being who in his essence seeks answers to questions about being, finitude, infinity which is the interior woven into the metaphysical questioning of the necessity of existence. Ultimately man comes to know God in the finite world so that by knowledge, by deification through the great love of God he would gain eternity. God and man, divine and human, are the entities that strive to be known by the one to whom it is only given to know and that is the man as a being finite and infinite. The category of transcendence itself is the metaphysical essence that makes up metaphysical thinking and man's aspiration towards himself. Searching with the imperishable truth in the cognition of God and the world, Vasily Zenkovsky brings a new light to Russian philosophical ideas of God and the world understanding of the mentioned metaphysical entities through the prism of man as a being who is called to know the necessity of the logos of the eternal existence of God in the world.
