Abstract
Irrespective of the fact that Berdyaev knew well the Russian imperial totalitarianism, as well as Bolshevism and Nazism, he, nevertheless, did not unreservedly accept democracy and its principles. Moreover, if social life was founded exclusively upon democracy, he considered it very dangerous for the State and society, as well as for individuals themselves. According to Berdyaev, there are numerous weaknesses of the democratic principle: equalitarianism, giving preference to quantity over quality; positivism, a mechanistic type of society; the absolutisation of the will of the majority, with which the freedom and dignity of man, partitocracy, etc., are brought into question. This paper provides a detailed analysis of Berdyaev’s rea- sons for dismissing democracy, as well as an outline of the alternative he offers.
