Summary/Abstract: As a product of intention to get acquainted with the Orthodox thought about the human being through the work of Bishop Nikolai, this work is only a small step in the almost unknown field and therefore the author does not intend to present any definitive conclusions. The basic characteristics of Bishop Nikolai’s thought of man are: it is concerned with the very substance of human beings and it insists on a holistic approach in human observation, without separating the different spheres of his interests. The essential uniqueness of the Orthodox perception of a man, in comparison to the other perceptions of the world and man, is that it starts from what a man could be (become) and observes him in relation to unlimited capabilities of his growth.
