Mikołaj Bierdiajew a neokantyzm

The purpose of the article is to analyze the question of Neo-Kantianism in the thought of Nicolai Berdyaev. The author examines the roots of Berdyaev’s polemic with the school and tries to explain the reasons of his strongly critical attitude to it. The philosopher’s main accusations were those of meonism and of downplaying the sagacious ideal of philosophy as well as negating its anthropological dimension. The author discusses the arguments for and against Berdyaev’s criticism. The whole analysis is set against the problematic of Russian and European philosophical movements at the turn of the century.
