Synopsis
Written at the beginning of the world apocalypse which was World War II, The Beginning and the End is Nikolai Berdyaev's main book on eschatology. He describes his book as an "essay in the epistemological and metaphysical interpretation of the end of the world, of the end of history"; hence he calls it an "eschatological metaphysics." For Berdyaev the end of the world is a divine-human enterprise: man not only endures the end, but he also prepares the way for it. Man's creative activity is needed for the coming of the kingdom of God: God is in need of this activity and awaits it. Berdyaev tells us that the eschatological outlook is not limited to the prospect of the end of the world; it embraces every instant of life. This is how he puts it: "What one needs to do at every moment of one's life is to put an end to the old world and to begin a new world."

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paper Back. Condition: New. Any release of Berdyaev's work is welcome news to his many admirers, who lament the fact that, of his twenty-one books in English translation, most remain perennially out of print. The Beginning and the End, originally published at the outbreak of World War II captures the mature thought of this great Christian existentialist philosopher. Berdyaev develops the eschatological themes prominent in his writing into 'a metaphysical interpretation of the end of the world, of the end of history.' Although insisting that the world's meaning depends 'solely on the condition that [history] will come to an end' (for 'endless progress.means the triumph of death'), he opposes both false chiliasm and passively awaiting the inevitable. Eschatology must be approached as a divine-human enterprise, in which our creative activity prepares the coming of the kingdom of God - a process that occurs at the personal as well as the cosmic level: 'What one needs to do at every moment of one's life is to put an end to the old world and to begin a new world.' 210 pp. Seller Inventory # 58708
