Abstract

У статті здійснюється філософський аналіз феномена
любові крізь призму філософії статі, представника релігійного
екзистенціалізму

Миколи
Бердяєва.
У
контексті
любовної
проблематики досліджується суперечність індивідуального
та
родового
начал,
утверджується
метафізика
статі,
розглядається
ідея
андрогінності
як
пізнання
досконалої
індивідуальності. (This article contains a philosophical analysis of the phenomenon
of
love
through
the
prism
of
the
philosophy
of
sex
in
the
works
of
Mykola
Berdyayev,
a
representative
of
religious
existentialism.
In
the
context
of
the
question
of
love,
the
antagonism
between
individual
and
generative
principle
is
researched,
the
metaphysics

of
gender
consolidated,
the
idea
of
androgyny
as
cognition
of
consummate
individuality examined.
The
impetus toward the philosophy of love, and from there,
to the problematic concepts, which impelled the representative of
religious existentialism – Mykola Berdyayev, to ponder the sphere
of love, is «sex.» The concept of «sex» became the place in the philosophy
of
the
Russian
thinker,
from
which
he
takes
his
beginning

and
a
two-fold
understanding
of
love
(generative
and
individual),
and
through
which
are
examined
the
questions
of
marriage,
family
relationships,
the
birth
of
children,
and
the
problem
of
androgyny, which has a metaphysical character. In the given article the accent
is made on the fact that Mykola Berdyayev’s concept of love is
built not only on the sensual connection of such concepts as «love
and sex,» but also on the sensual connection of such concepts as
«love and personhood,» «love and freedom,» «love and creativity,»
love and individuality (androgyny).» Berdyayev connects
the problem of sex and love to the battle between two opposite
metaphysical sources – the individual and the generative. Consequently
there
occur
the
differentiation
of
sex
from
generation,
and
love from the generative instinct. The Russian existentialist
criticises Christian doctrine’s traditional treatment of bodily love
as something sinful, and sex as a sign of sinfulness in the human
being, which allows only one justification for love between a man
and a woman – childbirth and reproduction. He speaks about the
hypocrisy of such treatment, accusing it of the demonization of
sex. Mykola Berdyayev’s philosophy of love «ties» sex and love to
the mystery of alienation in the world as well as to the mystery of
all unification, with the mystery of individuality and eternal life.
The philosopher of love indicates the way of Eros as the way of individuality.
True
love
in
Mykola
Berdyayev’s
philosophy
of
love
is
a
free
creative
act,
through
which
a
human
being
overcomes
both
the
command of generation and nature’s necessity; overcoming
sex, he uncovers another’s face in God, achieving perfect individuality
– androgyny.)
