Freedom is a
topic that consumes our modern day society. While, it is assumed, by most; that
being free is natural and essential, few understand the boundaries that fix the
limits of freedom. Nikolai
Berdyaev may not be a well known philosopher, but his fresh outlook offers
valuable insights. A Russian who in 1909 contributed to a symposium which
reaffirmed the values of Orthodox Christianity was later appointed by the
Bolshevists to a chair of philosophy in the University of Moscow. Imprisoned and
exiled, he remained a Russian. He announced his adhesion to the Soviet
government, while criticising the return to a policy of repression.
