METAFIZICA ESHATOLOGICĂ A LUI BERDIAEV – UN COMENTARIU MEDIAT DE ŞESTOV ŞI BECKETT
BERDYAEV’S ESCHATOLOGICAL METAPHYSIC – A COMMENT MEDIATED BY SHESTOV AND BECKETT

Summary/Abstract: Berdyaev’s eschatological metaphysics states something almost paradoxical: we can envision knowledge, being, freedom and history in the light of the end. Thus, in the present text I want to see, firstly, how can we think such concepts beyond Berdyaev. In other words, I will state that we can think knowledge, being, freedom and history as phenomena exceeded by their own spectral noumenon but without stipulating the eschaton. Secondly, I want to indicate that as tragic as Berdyaev’s metaphysics may seem, still holds an exaggerated optimistic view. I will use two of his central concepts (freedom and death) reading them through the eyes of Beckett and Shestov. In this manner, freedom and death will lose their trustful appearance as constructed by Berdyaev.
