Abstract
The revolution that Kant made by giving more importance to the subject and by placing the subject in a more role-determining position within the process of gnoseology, as well as the establishment of transcendental aesthetics, place Kant’s ideas at the centre of the consideration of the phenomena of time and space. It is obvious that Kant has influenced Berdyaev, whose philosophy Berdyaev had read in his early days, and that later in his life he based his own philosophical ideas on what he had learned from Kant, while adding his own insights. Furthermore, the influence of Kant’s revolution on the Russian philosopher is manifested in the way Berdyaev posed the epistemological problem, the problem of objectification, the ethics of creativity and the idea of objectification. Moreover, for Berdyaev, for whom time, along with freedom, is at the centre of philosophy, Kant becomes an indispensable philosophical reference in his own reflection on time. Berdyaev will not fully agree with Kant, but his knowledge of the Königsberg thinker’s philosophy is evident in the topics on which he must enter into dialogue with him, even if he disagrees with him or contradicts his thoughts in order to explain his own philosophy. In this sense, this paper will try to point out the places where Berdyaev and Kant agree or disagree when considering the concept of time.
