Abstract:
The report examines the influence of some of Dostoevsky’s ideas on Berdyaev, reveals a significant conditionality of the early direction of Berdyaev’s thought by Dostoevsky’s “accursed questions”, his ideas of freedom, the image of Christ, pneumatology, reveals kinship and continuity of outlooks. The author especially notes the influence on Berdyaev of such works of Dostoevsky as “Notes from Underground”, “The Brothers Karamazov” (in particular, the chapter “The Grand Inquisitor”), as well as Berdyaev’s position on the question “Is Dostoevsky a philosopher?” that is still relevant in philosophical community.
