Abstract

Being engaged in creativity in the eld of religious philosophy, the famous Russian thinker N. A. Berdyaev, of course, could not ignore the phenomenon of truth, which for many centuries has been constantly discussed in the intellectual environment. During this period, many concepts of truth were developed. Offering his own, Berdyaev, as a religious thinker, bases it on the words of Jesus Christ: «I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life» (John 14, 6) - and on this basis he develops the concept of the Living Truth, opposing it to the widespread ideas of truth as correspondence of knowledge to reality. The knowledge of truth for Berdyaev is «entry into the Divine life».
