The article is divided into two parts, as Berdyaev not only describes Dostoevsky’s religious and philosophical system but also founds it on his own idea of the sacred essence of the creative act; this fact leads the philosopher to the necessity of forming a special research method considering the deepest basis of the creative process.

The second part of the article describes the key moments of Dostoevsky’s theological system, showing how it is similar to every man’s spiritual path – i.e. showing how Berdyaev thinks about the writer’s theology not as a combination of statements about God and the Divine nature, but as a practical method for the man to move towards God and a transfigured nature.Tatiana G.
