Барт и Бердяев: религиозното значение на гения
Barth and Berdyaev: The Religious Significance of Genius

Summary/Abstract: The topic of the author’s reflections is the connection between the Swiss theologian Karl Barth, one of the greatest religious thinkers of the twentieth century, and Nikolai Berdyaev, one of the greatest Russian philosophers. The common denominator between Barth, author of the multi-volume Church Dogmatics, and Berdyaev, the philosopher hostile to dogmas and systems, i.e., between two thinkers coming from vastly different intellectual traditions, is sought in a narrow theme in the philosophy of religion/theology, namely, the question of the religious significance of genius. The theme is reflected in their respective interpretations of Mozart and Pushkin. The author demonstrates the general belief that the question of human genius goes beyond the sphere of philosophy/theology of culture: genius transcends the boundaries of this world. It touches on the hereafter and reveals it to us: in this lies its religious meaning
