Abstract
This study examines the problem of personality and freedom in the thoughts of Berdyaev and Sartre. The problem of personality and freedom has attracted the attention of philosophers throughout the history and it was among the issues on which existentialist philosophy focused especially in the XIXth and XXth centuries. In this study, we will try to examine Russian philosopher Berdyaev’s personalist thoughts which were grounded on the philosophy of German philosophers, and his effects on Sartre. The problem of freedom and personality shows itself, in both Russian and Western philosophy, as an effort to the sense that an independent and original status is to be given to the moral problem. This effort, in the Berdyayev and Sartre’s exis- tential philosophy, appeared as a problem of personality and freedom. But the way both thinkers solve the problem has led them to different forms of argumentation in their thoughts. In our article, it is an important point to dig deeper into the problem and to compare two different argumentations with each other. In addition, the effort of people in Berdyayev philosophy is directed to the self-recognition/self-knowledge/ self-realization. In this context, experimental side of “Existence”, for Berdyayev, is “To be internally experience of existence itself”; “It is descend to the mystery of Be- ing”. Because, God is the realm of freedom and this area is blessed to human being. According to Berdyaev, the moral itself is “the philosophy of freedom”. Freedom is not only restricted to the values sphere; it is, at the same time, associated with the ex- istence of human being. However, according to Sartre, freedom has no ground. On the contrary, freedom is the essence of all things
