Fate Of Man In the Modern World

1935! Berdyaev

An excerpt: The economic and political situations of the

world аге terrible, even unbearable, but this is

true above all of its spiritual situation. The

veey existence of spiritual life is in terrible danger,

the very possibility of its existence is threatened.

We live in an insane world. We have failed to

perceive that man has become insane. Because

of his thirst for life, his love of this world, man

has lost his spiritual and mental balance. The

world is again іп the grip of the polydemonism

from which Christianity once rescued it. De-

_ Christianization led to dehumanization, and this

to insanity, since the very image of man is

darkened. Man has been laid open to every

sort of demoniac possession, of demonism; he

has become the prey of demonic, cosmic and

social forces. And man has thought his liberty

consisted in complete submission to just these

demonic forces.

Modern dehumanization puts man under the

sign of demoniac possession and loss of balance.

Our time is distinguished by the fact that this

demoniac possession is organized. When the

spirit ceases to control man’s mental and corporeal

being, he loses his inner integrity and balance.

Cosmic and social forces rush in and organize

their possession by means of suggestion; as a

result of which man becomes possessed, either

by the elementary, cosmic, telluric powers of the

earth, of race, nation and sex, or by the ele-

mentary social forces of economic interest, money,

class, social grouping, party. But spiritually,

man is completely disorganized. He has lost

his spiritual resistance to suggestion and pos-

session. This is the loss of the very principle

of personality, since personality is spirit, the

spiritual resistance against all demoniac posses-

sion by impersonal cosmic or social forces. The

work of the spirit is to illuminate man’s physical

and mental nature.
