	Berdyaev and the Russian Idea	Mon, 09.10.2023, 16:00	Seminars and Colloquia	Clemena Antonova George Pattison	Berdyaev and the Russian Idea Mon, 09.10.2023, 16:00 Speakers: Clemena Antonova George Pattison Series: Seminars and Colloquia Nikolai Berdyaev was strongly cosmopolitan, and his philosophy can be seen as a variant of German idealism.
