I do not think discursively. It is not so much that I arrive at truth as that I take my start from it. ~ Nikolai Berdyaev ~ 나는 두서없이 생각하지 않는다. 나는 진실에 도달하는 것 보다는 진실을 출발점으로 한다. - 니콜라이 베르쟈예프, 러시아의 사상가 Bacchus Wikipedia Commons / public domain Orvieto Pozzo San Patrizio Source: Fantasy Wikipedia Commons / CC-BY-SA-3.0 Golgotha cross Author: Любослов Езыкин Wikipedia Commons / CC-BY-SA-3.0 Nikolai Berdyaev Author: Nick Grapsy Wikipedia Commons / CC-BY-SA-4.0 La Vérité Wikipedia Commons / public domain http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nikolai_Berdyaev

Absolutism, Nikolai Berdyaev

There is absolute truth in anarchism and it is to be seen in its attitude to the sovereignty of the state and to every form of state absolutism. ... The religious truth of anarchism consists in this, that power over man is bound up with sin and evil, that a state of perfection is a state where there is no power of man over man, that is to say, anarchy. The Kingdom of God is freedom and the absence of such power... the Kingdom of God is anarchy. - Nikolai Berdyaev, in Slavery and Freedom (1939), p. 147
