The Meaning of History
"Transaction Publishers has performed an important service in recently reissueing Nikolai Berdyaev'sThe Meaning of History: An Essay on the Philosophy of Human Destiny... The Transaction Edition contains a new introduction by Professor Maria Nemcova Banerjee that first appeared in the Summer 2004 issue ofModern Ageunder the title, "Nikolai Berdiaev and Spiritual Freedom." A balanced and penetrating 'reconsideration' of the Russian thinker's achievement that no student of Berdyaev can ignore, Banerjee's essay places and assesses Berdyaev's overall contribution and significance as an existentialist philosopher and an original interpreter of Russian phiilosophical and religious thought."– George A. Panichas, Modern Age
