Summary/Abstract: The article presents Nicholas Berdyaev’s personalistic view. The Russian thinker is usually – especially in the western tradition – called a religious existentialist and as such is situated alongside Lev Shestov. This is not a fully legitimate and sound interpretation of Berdyaev’s philosophical work, which will be proven in the article. In existentialism the starting point is the existence of an individual, while personalism is concerned with the relational and communitarian person. Ultimately, Bierdyaev’s thinking is closer to dialogism (personalistic) than to existentialism
