Time, Existence and Destiny: Nicholas Berdyaev's Philosophy of Time

by Howard Alexander Slaatte

This book explicates a Christian existentialist and personalistic philosophy of time, its meaning and implications for human destiny. Chronos or common time is given a qualitative intensity in kairos or time confronted by eternity in the present moment. This gives special meaning to destiny, for it gives a special dimension to eschaton or the end-time, which is somewhat futuristic but also destiny-making as fulfilled time. Both personal life and history are charged with special depths of significance thru kairos and eschaton.
