Man and History. Piotr Czaadajew’s Search for Faith and The Vision of The Kingdom of God

Abstracts

EN

The aim of the article is an analysis of the life and philosophical output of Piotr Czaadajew – the chief representative of the so-called Golden Age of the Russian culture. Czaadajew’s viewpoints represent the whole of Russian religious and philosophical thought that has placed the issue of an individual and history first. Czaadajew was the first Russian philosopher to pose the question of the sense of Russia’s existence against the broad ideological background of Christian tradition. According to him, only Catholicism was the power that created history and was able to bring mankind closer to the realization of the Kingdom of God on the earth. His demand to build the Kingdom of the Lord immediately relates to his personal attempts to find a sort of an order in the faith in God. Czaadajew – a melancholic and would-be suicide, saw in Christianity a horizon of hope for both an individual and mankind.
