Phenomenological Conception of Values by Nikolai Berdyaev

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Nikolai Berdyaev’s conception of values: the origin, hierarchic order, cognitional situation, and possibility of realization on a cultural plane. The philosopher dwells on the above issues by considering the topics of personal self-development, as well as the cultural development of the nation and of mankind. Berdyaev presents freedom and love as qualities of human spiritual nature. All human beings face the ontological task to recognize these qualities inside themselves and then to build their individual being on that foundation. Historically determined values as well as their interplay are formed and set by the human being himself (historical mankind). The society’s orientation towards natural spiritual values determines good national cultural development as well as purposeful historical process. Berdyaev employs the sobornost principle to deal with a society’s or a person’s inner axiological confusion.
