Berdiaev, Nikolai Aleksandrovich

Samopoznanie: opyt filosofskoi avtobiografii [Self-Knowledge: An Essay in Philosophical Autobiography]

Paris: YMCA-Press, 1949. Item #1489

377 pages: portrait; 22 cm. Wrappers show moderate toning and some spotting. Small tears and soft creases to spine ends and edges. Interior clean and unmarked. Structurally sound.

The final and arguably most introspective work by Nikolai Berdiaev, completed shortly before his death and published posthumously in Paris. Unlike conventional autobiographies, this "essay in philosophical autobiography" investigates the nature of Berdiaev’s own personality and spiritual trajectory, seeking to explain the metaphysical underpinnings of his worldview.
