Etica legii în viziunea lui Nikolai Berdiaev

The Ethics of Law as Seen by Nikolai Berdiaev

Abstract

Nikolai Berdiaev interprets human destiny also from the perspective of moral behavior, focusing on how humans relate to the values of good and evil. His interpretive criterion goes beyond the classical standards of ethical treatises. Thus, by identifying the origins of human moral nature in the biblical myth of the Fall, he
distinguishes three historical categories of ethics: that of law, salvation, and creation. Our interest in this study is focused on the ethics of law, which is privileged in philosophical theories. The aim of the investigation is to capture the limits of this category of ethics and determine the status of classical moral theories.
