## Description

In this work, Berdyaev tells us that man's " I," his consciousness, is thrust up against a world of impersonal objects (the " objectified" world) and thus finds itself in a condition of alienation and isolation. In five ontological and epistemological meditations Berdyaev clarifies this condition of " objectification" and suggests ways it can be overcome, based on his " personalistic," " existential" philosophy. He shows how this philosophy can serve to counteract objectification and human isolation. Emphasis throughout is placed on modes of human communion and solitude in society.
