Abstract

This paper deals with the relations between Nicolay Berdyaev and Gabriel Marcel during the 20-30 years of the 20th century in the capital of France. The author of this paper makes an attempt to reconstruct the first meeting of these thinkers through the mediation of Maritain and other French intellectuals. He analyzes the correspondence between these philosophers, the materials of the Studio Franco-Russe 1928-1931 and the association “L`Union pour la Verité” and others intellectual centers and structures. The concept of resonance used in this paper to describe the philosophical kinship and similarities of ideas of two philosophers is situated in the center of author’s methodological position. The main goal of the paper is to demonstrate that the spiritual resonance between these thinkers is based upon the Christian humanism, spiritualism and existentialism in spite of theirs visible divergences in the many other aspects.
