O NEKIM ASPEKTIMA POLITIČKE FILOZOFIJE NIKOLAJA BERDJAJEVA I NJENOJ AKTUALNOSTI ZA SUVREMENO DOBA
ON SOME ASPECTS OF NIKOLAI BERDYAYEV’S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND ITS ACTUALITY IN MODERN TIMES

Summary/Abstract: The article is divided into two main sections, i.e. titles: the first section deals with Berdyayev’s attitude towards the concept of nation and the associated nationalisms, whereas the second is aimed at observing his view on liberalism and the related capitalism. Reflecting on nation and nationalism, the author provides a critical appraisal of Berdyayev’s view on the early development of nations, i.e. of his putting their beginnings into direct connection with nominalism as a typical philosophical stream in the late Middle Ages. However, this critical judgment will not present an obstacle to a positive evaluation of Berdyayev’s vision of these phenomena as a whole, especially his pointing to the incoherent and creative nationalisms. With great care the author studies Berdyayev’s attitude towards liberalism and the related capitalism. Berdyayev’s religious-Christian background in the analysis of these phenomena is more than obvious. In this good judgment the Russian philosopher is very critical towards all the sociological schools with a positive approach to these particular sociopolitical conditions, which use purely empirical analyses.
