But did this appropriation, under the guise of conceptual and scientific transcendence, not miss the singularity of Jacob Boehme? Did it not attempt to reabsorb an irruption, singular and irreducible, which perhaps still contains unheard-of possibilities? Nikolai Berdyaev, because he mastered philosophy from an extra-philosophical standpoint-that of an ardent and indomitable faith-was able to grasp and convey this singularity. In these studies, first published in the émigré journal Put' (1929-1930) and here translated for the first time from the Russian original, Berdyaev introduces us to the heart of this Vision in clear terms, but from the Seer's standpoint and in spiritual empathy with him. He introduces us to the urgency of meditating upon Jacob Boehme.
About This Edition
This volume presents, for the first time in English, the complete translation of all three texts Berdyaev devoted to Jacob Boehme-including the review of Alexandre Koyré's landmark study and both major essays-directly from the Russian originals as they appeared in Put'. Previous English versions, translated from German intermediaries, offered only the first essay in abridged form; the study on Sophia and the Androgyne has never before appeared in English. The translator has restored the German citations from Böhme's works in scholarly footnotes, allowing readers to consult the original sources. Beyond serving as an unparalleled introduction to Boehme's vision and its fateful appropriation by German Idealism, these studies offer perhaps the clearest exposition of Berdyaev's own metaphysical position-his doctrine of uncreated, meonic freedom rooted in the Ungrund, which constitutes the generative core of his entire philosophical edifice.
