He was soon attracted to Marxism, and in 1898, he was arrested during a student protest and subsequently expelled from the university. He married in 1904 and moved to Saint Petersburg. There he immersed himself fully in the philosophical and religious debate, gradually reaching a position of his own, for which he became known as a Christian existentialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berdyaev\u2019s relatively swift goodbye to Marxism was primarily due to Marxism\u2019s materialist anthropology, which he regarded as \u201ctwo-dimensional.\u201d He reacted strongly to any reductionist account of the human person. In his work, he drew upon a broad spectrum of thinkers: Fyodor Dostoyevsky held the first and the greatest significance for him, but he was later influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche and Lev Tolstoy as well as Max Scheler and S\u00f8ren Kierkegaard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy thought has been oriented anthropocentrically, not cosmocentrically,\u201d writes Berdyaev in his book&nbsp;<em>The Russian Idea<\/em>, thus pointing to his own fundamental philosophical problem: \u201cthe problem of an objectivization which is based upon alienation, the loss of freedom and personality, and subjection to the general and the necessary. My philosophy is decisively personalist and according to the fashionable terminology now established it might be called existential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Philosopher\u2019s Ship<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1922, the Bolshevik regime expelled Berdyaev, Lossky, and 158 other prominent intellectuals from the Soviet Union. They left the country on the so-called<em>&nbsp;Philosopher\u2019s Ship<\/em>. Many of them first settled in Berlin, but the economic and political development then forced several of them to move on, mainly to Paris. Here, Berdyaev gathered a large group of personalists for what became known as&nbsp;<em>Berdyaev\u2019s Sundays<\/em>. Thinkers such as Gabriel Marcel, Emmanuel Mounier, Etienne Gilson, Jacques Maritain, and others often met on Sundays in Berdyaev\u2019s home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover has-accent-background-color has-background-dim\"><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Berdyaev has been called the philosopher of liberty, because of his strong insistence that human development, personality, independence and creative expression requires freedom<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaterede indl\u00e6g<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/personalism.com\/?p=1&#038;lang=es\">Hello world!<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Welcome to WordPress.
